I'll try and figure something else out for helping shade it. The black was to kill the grass. It's still not pushing the leaves up and out. Didn't know what kind it was. Now I know! I'll get more mulch and remove the black weed stop along with the blue tarp add continue to water and if it's still choked how do I rectify that? I'm misting also on top of the increased watering.
