minus-squareProfessorProteus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 months agoMy guess is more water. Dew condenses from the air itself; it doesn’t fall from above. On the other hand, having something as large as that net could mess with air currents or ground temps, so I’m not too sure to be honest.
