WE use raindrip Tornado misters @ 6-7 gph with 30 psi system pressure screwed directly into 1/2" tubing. We tried spaghetti line last year, did not like the set up. Hard to aim.I also set up an inline fertigator so we can feed and mist at the same time. Like porterville, it gets darn hot here in chico. I will post picts of my setup if there is enough interest.

the emitters come from fruit growers supply. the timer is my wife. i figured if she`s going to lay out by the pool while i`m at work, then she could open a valve once an hour. i had to move the valve next to the pool though. LOL. my real timer is still under construction.

Robert, Sounds like my intentions. No other known source of set up or using experience. Most valued offer. I will follow as mine actually gets set up within a few weeks.

Robert's set up is awesome.
He has it fantastically organized and thoroughly efficient.
Setup for less work also.
It is my goal for my future pumpkin patch.

Nice set-up Booth the shade is a good thing in the Central Valley.

If anyone wants to see another example, a picture is posted in my diary of some serious misting.
