was also given a unit that works on sun light rather than air humidity to
operate but I have never seen them for sale, I use this as a mister for
the big greenhouse so stuff doest dry out, I have never seen them offered
for sale and it is not very controllable but there is a lot less to it so
I would imagine it would be a lot cheaper

You may consider a proper mist unit a good investment as you can (as I do)
use it for seed sowing, and keeping everything going while away on holiday


Charlie do i need a water supply then or does it have a reservoir that you
top up?
I have soil warming cables at the moment plus a heated tray etc. stopped
using my hotbox about 4 years ago as it was too expensive to run even just
to a couple of degrees.

Wondered if a container of water on top of the sand and then a cover would
be the same? I.e. the water evaporates and causes humidity?

I will look at 2 west's dew point cabinets. The bottom of that is my
tray/bench that i got from them so presumably the top will fit!
Considering the amount of cuttings i take it might be wroth my
while...........

Yes you need a water supply for a mist unit,

Dave, Fog is very good but you just don't seem to be able to get the set up
easily, and of course if like me you have a mist unit that works really well
the incentive to switch to something you are not familiar with is not great
