Response to Plastic mulch vs. landscape cloth?

A friend of mine used old carpet with good results. He would scroung up some old garden hose and weave it around the plants putting small hole at every plant for watering. When it became very hot and plants had fruit on them he put few layers of scrap shrimp netting on poles above plants to block out some of the sun (perhaps 15-20%). Worked good for him.
