We are planning on using the Mist-O Matic system, during the late
Spring/Summer, on an outdoor prop bed, with bottom heat, and poly sides
(for a little wind protection) but with an open top.
During the winter months, we are planning on white 'tenting' with no
misting, as it will get so cold as to freeze the pipes.
Will check out 'No Damp', thanks.
