Irrigation systems
OK, I built a trellis for some of our orchids. The trellis is 14' long by
4'6" wide. Unfortunately, it doesn't hold all my plants, but that's another story. I was going to get a portable lawn sprinkler, but am considering installing sprinklers or mister heads on the trellis. Would love some ideas and advise on this. My collection consists mostly Vandas with some Oncidiums, Dendrobiums and just few phals. |

Irrigation systems
You have lots of options. I use a DIG Irrigation Systems, low pressure
irrigation system, with misting heads (Part #43). It is inexpensive and easy to set up and maintain. If you have hard water you might want to install a "calcium inhibitor filter" from Charley's Greenhouse, http://www.charleysgreenhouse.com/. Visit http://www.tallbaldandcrazy.com/orchids/awr.pdf for other resources. A low pressure system on a timer would work well for you... John "Barry" wrote in message ...
