I used, or tried to use, a Mist-a-matic some years ago. It frequently got
stuck in the On position, and flooded the flats. By the time I had realised
that the spindle on which the mesh rested was bent during transport to me,
it was too late in the season to start again with new seeds, and I
abandoned. Geoff
