Re: Cooling plants with mist?

I lived in Selma, AL for several years wo AC...we did have a large attic
fan that helped to cool things off when there was significant difference in
the day and night temperatures.  But, there were many nights that I thought
I would never get to sleep because of the muggy weather.  In DC, before AC,
workers were sent home when conditions got too bad...nothing like working
in a swamp.
