I'm delighted with the misting system. It's up, but without enough U pins, so I've ordered more. However, the misting doesn't dampen the plants. It simply blows into the next door neighbour's garden.
And I realised I'm turning on the tap for ten minutes a day, which is a lot of water.
My original intention was to run the misting system off the tank, which sits above the fern house and the misting system. But it doesn't provide enough pressure.
And the timer is leaking.
So I've turned it off for now. When I get the Upins, I'll finish installing the system. Then I'll put some shadecloth around the fern house to reduce the chances of the mist flowing away, and see how I go.
I use much less water watering the plants with rainwater.
I hadn't thought that through, had I?
But I'll persist until I find what works for me.
Thanks
Kerry
