Next we are going to make the sprayer setup. I will show 2 ways 1 way is very quick and takes aboyt 2 minutes the other is a little more classic and takes some cutting and fittings so 1 at a time.The first way is so simple I just kind of thought about it walking around home depot blowed last week (this is a hobby for me when I got time to go).Ok so you have your pump and have a 1/2" hose barb on it (get 1/2 barb if it didnt come with one).Place your pump next to your res outside you will then need your piece of 1/2 hose.You wanna cut the hose so your sprayer head will be out of the water but about 2-3 inches lower then your net pots( you can add 2 or 3 of these if you want by using T barbs and more hose).My hose length from my large pump was about 2 inches.Now take your 1/2 inch threaed hose barb you bought and screw it into the female threads on the 2 inch lawn sprinkler head. This is a large sprikler that sprays in every direction in large amount of fine mist like the one you see watering yards.1 is enough 2 is great 3 is the limit.Take the hose and use it to connect the barb from the pump to the barb you just screwed onto the mister head and center it in the rubbermaid tub.Thats it for this misting setup. Just pop the top on make a mark on the edge where your pumps power cord is and cut a small notch so your lid closes.Insert your net pots and add your young plants in 2 inch rockwool cubes and fill with hydroton clay pebbles and plu it in.Simple huh heres som pics to show this particular setup and the lawn mister head to give a btter visual..Next will explaint the more common mister setup..
