RE: Sprinkler nozzles

---

Can anyone recommend an overhead sprinkler that will mist the air during the heat of the day, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., for cooling the pumpkin vines and leaves?  I don’t want to drench and wilt the plants in the hot sunshine, but would rather broadcast a low volume, less than 10 gallon per hour, over a wide area.  Note that I spoke to two technicians at Rainbird.  The first referred me to another company’s 800 line that was out of service.  The second technician didn’t have a clue and kept suggesting 4 gallon per minute impulse sprinklers or heavy drenching lawn sprinklers.  I would be most appreciative if someone could list brand names, model numbers, flow rates, and how you’ve applied the technique.

Lost in Sprinkler-ville,

Matt
