Post #7017217

Over the summer we finally finished building our new greenhouse. We're getting ready to run underground water and electric out to it and planning on installing a misting system overhead. However, a lot of the books say you should water from the bottom and that watering from over head can cause problems with disease and fungus.

So, our question is, should we put in the misting system or not, or should we store water in barrels to temper its temperature and use that to bottom water the plants. We'd hate to do a lot of work and then have to rip it apart and change it all again.

Thanks for your help!!!
