Hey,
Has anyone used these misters before. How is the mist for pumpkins. To heavy? Just right?
Thanks, Justin

Hey Justin,

I think these misters are great. As far as being just right or to heavy that is up to you because as you said they are adjustable.

Where I live we generally run 30-35 degrees from June to mid September and hitting 40 isn't unheard of. I've used these mister for 3 years with no complaints.

I have alot of clay in my soil and compaction is a problem especially with overhead watering. I found if I ran my misters a little closer together, wide open, on a timer after my fruit are set, from 4am-8am it is just about enough water every day in that heat with liitle to no compaction on my soil. They're pretty versatile.

Thanks alot Chad!
During a hot day on the lowest setting can you leave it on for hours and is the mist fine enough not to wet the ground any more then it already is? How far apart do you suggest putting each mister and at what height?
