Mind you for around 300 you can buy an all in mist prop bench so
consider you're needs carefully!-)

Ah yes I was going to indulge myself with one of them, BUT and it's a
big BUT they are not supposed to be used in a greenhouse! Seems they
need to be used in a cool darkish room like shed or garage as the light
comes on automatically and in the greenhouse it would get too hot. Well
that is what Two West's say in their catalogue.

It depends on whether you want to pay somebody to fabricate the thing for
you. Sounds like you're already adept at striking cuttings,


Just a few, as no doubt some of my fellow Urglers will vouch .



and you
certainly could build something a lot cheaper than buying. Some kind of
transparent cover would likely help, as would lining the bottom and sides
with polythene foam board conserve heat.


I don't find that covering cuttings helps a great deal, well not with
the plants I usually strike. It seems to encourage mould etc. They seem
to do well with fresh air and warm toes !


I haven't had good luck with
heating cables in general; the built-in thermostat seems to go bad, so an
unregulated cable with outboard thermostat would probably be more reliable.


Would that regulate the cable or give it a kick when the temperature in
the greenhouse gets low?


I use a rubber heating pad meant for warming seedlings to do the same
thing. I already had an electronic thermostat I'd built for film
processing, so I used it for control. Don't know if the plants care about
control to 0.1 degree F, but it gives me bragging rights.


Thanks for the information Gary, it sounds a good way to go.

nay nay! We've obviously been looking at different catalogues!-)

Halfway house is a sand bench with cable and a mister head or 2 and
'electronic leaf'.. I've seen these used internally in greenhouses.
