Deb,
Misting the tops of the leaves in this humid weather is asking for a fungal
disaster. As long as your vines are getting water, they will be fine.

I would like to mist the leaves from the top to help cool them down and help
with flagging during the 90+ days. My next project is a drip system using
PVC
but don't even want to address that until I get the misters figured out.

Soaker hose. T tape. I am as smart as a chimpanzee and they are working like
a charm in 100-102 degree weather.

What is a booster pump? I was thinking of filling my rain barrel with
water,
running hose from barrel to inline pump to 1/4 inch tubing. I could time
how
long it takes to drain the barrel and keep the garden hose running to match
the
flow. The other thing is I have another 6 misters around my second plant.
Ideally I would like to tie these into the first plant for a matter of ease.
The inline pump is 1/2 HP.

You may need a booster pump.
