Re: Mist system & Propagation Bench

Tom/Doug:  How did you design your propagating bench?  Did you use a
plan?  Is it just a wooden table w/ edges, and a holder for the mister?
If so, doesn't the mist get everywhere and the wood rot?  Do you need an
enclosure for the mist?  What do you use for bottom heat (the water bed
heater others have endorsed)?  Where did you put the table -- outside
(but what about rain?) or inside (do you have a greenhouse)?  I can't
think where I could put it that wouldn't result in water damage.  Sounds
like a fun project, and a useful one because I lose a lot of cuttings,
but I have no idea where to start.

I hope no one finds this too off topic. . . .

Tom:

We used to do thousands of cuttings every year of just about any annual
or
perennial you can mention (specialist nursery) and simply used a
soilless
mix as our base. We used . . . .
