I haven't been following the list for some days. Very busy season for me
right now. We just installed an Arizona mist cooling system, a true
fogger, which has been very successful and effective. I would be happy
to give costs and ease of installation information to any who are
interested. We had installed a mist system last year which was very
expensive, very labor intensive to install, and very very wet. It cooled,
but was bad for the plants and used excessive amounts of precious water.
So we have learned the hard way. Anyone interested in a cooling mister. I
would be glad to work up a very good price. Prospective buyers would need
to have lots of water and crops that can stand lots of water.

Thanks Gail,
My understanding is that a good fog system will drop the ambient
temperature by 10 degrees in a humid climate like Florida and a lot more
in drier areas. What has your experience been in Oregon?
Does your system work in conjunction with cooling pads and fans or is it
independent of these?

Hello Gail,
I have been sort of a bystander...trying to learn. Where are you in Oregon?
Would you be willing to have visitors? What type of set up do you have?
What are you growing?
Would love to see it...if possible!!
Jennifer

Doug and Jose:
We are engaged in a start-up commercial Aquaponics, Pastured
Poultry, Fruit/Berries and Vermiculture operation. We
curently have the outside planting 50% complete but were
slowed down by upgrading the irrigation pump
electrical/controls, installing/constructing irrigation
distribution and preparing ground which is overgrown due to
being fallow for over seven years.
We will be in-residence on the farm near Fowler, CO in the
next couple weeks. After looking at properties in Nebraska,
Missouri and Kansas and having several deals fall through,
we found this place and we were lucky to find sellers who
would let us get started before we took possession!
David, hang in there and you'll eventually find a place that
will be better than the others that didn't work out for you!
