| I put a number of cuttings into a sand bed 2 weeks ago. Used Rootone powder and placed an Arizona mister (blue in color) on them 24 hours per day. They receive full sun through around lunch or early afternoon then are shaded from the afternoon sun.
This is the link to the FAQ http://faq.gardenweb.com/faq/lists/rosespro/2003063646004668.html
I have recently found some misters -- 0.8 GPH -- which are supposed to work on drip irrigation equipment. http://www.dripdepot.com/1163.html Other misting heads can be found here http://www.dripdepot.com/search.html?id=5Q69A3Ke
Because the AZ mister has only 2 mist heads which shoot out at 45 degree angles, I expect to stake 1/2 inch irrigation line in a rectangle around the sand bed, place the 0.8 GPH mister heads about 2 feet apart so that the cuttings will have the mist regardless of wind direction (the sand bed is on the edge of a field with no sides or top to block the wind).
Any other suggestions? I will let you know how it goes. |
