David ....we use flora mist nozzles, they thread into schedual 40
pvc..the mist is pretty good for a $1.55 apiece.  They clog up from alge
occassionaly...you could paint the pvc black to lessen that...we control
ours w/ a time clock..cost about $45.00....We space the flora mist about
2.5 ft. apart..works great.  You can run the mist with a device refered
to as a waterleaf...as the mist settles on a mesh, the mesh becomes
heavy and closes a valve, when it dries up and lightens it reopenes the
valve...waterleaves are expensive but give you water or mist when you
need it and only when you need it. intstallation of all or part of this
is a snap...all parts are available from most greenhouse supply houses.

Pressurized mist systems are better...some are so good you can even work
under w/o even getting very wet, but they are extremely spendy and
require professional installation. The afore system is poor persons
mist, but it works good at less than a buck a foot if you install a 100
foot.
