I recently wrote an article that explains why you should not use water that has gone through a water softener to mist or irrigate your plants. The article ended with a brief explanation that a benefit of bypassing the water softener to water the cuttings and plants is that the softener will not have to [...] April 19th, 2010 | Tags: irrigation, landscape plants, misting, propagation, water conservation, woody ornamentals | Category: Misting related, Propagation | One comment

In part 2 I explained which relay I purchased, the basics of normally open circuits, and how I mounted the relay.

I briefly laid out how I calculated which relay I need in part 1. Here I will explain what I did to have my DIG 5006-IP misting timer control three 60 watt bulbs by turning them on and off at a specific time.

The DIG 5006-IP propagation timer is a great misting timer that can be used for much more than controlling your misting solenoids. February 15th, 2010 | Tags: irrigation, misting, propagation | Category: General, Misting related | Leave a comment

Although I have previously written an article on how to winterize your misting system, I have decided to expand on it with new explanations and photos. The previous article was written with article submission websites in mind and they do not allow photos to be included. I will break these articles into two separate ones; [...] October 6th, 2009 | Tags: irrigation, misting, websites, winterizing | Category: Gardening Related, Misting related, Propagation | Leave a comment

One question I get asked often is how to turn off a zone when using a DIG 5006-IP propagation timer. Why would you want to turn off a zone? Good question. Maybe you are having an extremely wet spring like we did in Maine this year. If it rains every day for two months straight, [...] September 15th, 2009 | Tags: irrigation, landscape plants, misting, propagation, water conservation, woody ornamentals | Category: Misting related, Propagation | Leave a comment
