Re: help on reflective paper
Nico, don't be angry with me, every little schoolchild knows that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. In your picture I don't see the wall from which the light is supposed to reflect. There is a reflection from the ground. I understand that the wall is vertical and it has reflects sunlight. If the sun is not shining, there is only diffused light everywhere and no shadows are created. As for the mirror, I didn't think you'd put a mirror there, but only with the help of it you could find out where the light would bounce off that vertical white wall.

Re: help on reflective paper
You are right, when the date of passing the plants to the final garden approaches, place the mirror and observe where the light bounces. I no longer remembered the subject of reflection and refraction, long ago


Thank you

Re: help on reflective paper
Light will hit the wall. The wall can absorb it (black wall) or reflect it (white wall). Even if it does not have the sun shining on it at the perfect angle to reflect onto the plants, a more reflective wall will get more light to the plants. I agree that reflective cloth on the ground might be more useful, but reflective wall will still be useful.

Re: help on reflective paper
Thanks Nan6b. I understand that too, it would be good to use the mirror to see where the light bounces. In case you bounce on the floor, I think it would be a good option to place a reflective plastic on the floor and another on the wall. I put about 40 plants in the row that hits the two walls, and I would like to make the most of the performance of these plants.They are the weakest, unlike the rest of the plants located in my garden.
