    You have outdone yourself. I would love to see an even larger hoop house construction in the future.

    I'm curious about using sheet plastic and rocks under the good drainage sand. Maybe it depnds on climate whether that poses a problem.

    Can you send me specs on the timer you use for your system. I have my mist system set up with a timer we found on Amazon but we are having trouble with leaking, the mist not coming on.

    Interesting. Things are much different in NC than the Central Oregon Cascades. We can get frost any month of the year so everything is underground. I put good landscape fabric down then sand, then heating cables, then more sand with my misting system over the top of the propagating house. I would be concerned about water build up with the ply on bottom and poly does not last very long here.

    how much pressure are you ruing for a finer mist

    It looks fantastic. I would love to put in boxwood hedges, but the cost of box, and the quantity i would need, makes that not feasible. I guess with this type of system, you could more easily propagate your own? I have seen in England that you can buy slips pretty inexpensively, but I havent seem box dold that way here, have you?

    Great videos Jim, thanks. Would you recommend building this in shade, partial shade/sun, or full sun? Thanks.

      I would prefer sun with this system. We want to make sure they are drying off between irrigation cycles. I will use shade for other techniques I will show that are not irrigated.

    Will that controller, when used with just a 9 volt battery (no AC adapter), still open the valve? My understanding is that the solenoid on that rainbird irrigation valve requires 24v DC to open. Therefore, I would think that the AC adapter on the controller is required in order to convert AC line voltage to 24v DC.

      No, the battery just keeps your programming in case of a power outage.

      Thanks for the confirmation. Instructions starting at 10:29 can be misinterpreted. Someone who purchases this controller will need a nearby A/C power to plug in the controller.

      BTW...Galcon also makes a mist irrigation controller and valve that will operate without an A/C power source. It uses a single 9v battery. The model is 6151-DC1S. I have used this for several years with good results.
