California Gardening: Cloud Cover Spray, 0 by greatswede

Has anyone used Cloud Cover Spray? It's supposed to protect plants from extreme heat and even frost. It sounds too good to be true but if it works up here in Northern California, it would be worth the try. It's a polymer spray that is non-toxic and works on almost every plant except ones that have hairy leaves.

Their claim is:

Watch your plants flourish with less frequent watering when you use CloudCover® plant protector. CloudCover forms a thin, flexible film that allows plants to breathe but reduces water loss. This protects plants from damaging seasonal and environmental extremes, such as wind, winter cold and summer heat. You can also reduce transplant shock, keeping fragile transplants from drying out before their root systems develop. Good for indoor and outdoor plants, CloudCover spray dries clear and leaves no sticky residue.

I just tried it and am waiting to see if it makes any difference in the plants that get baked in the sun.
