Re: reflecting sunlight?

Yes you can use White plastic attached to a sheet of plywood to reflect
light back toward your tomatoes.
Foil may reflect the heat as well as the light which may fry your plants.
 
The white plastic reflects only the light..try it...Smitty
 
That's interesting!! Never did think about that!
