Here are some photos of the new misting system. Only took about $30 worth of equipment. That's because I tapped into the existing sprinkler system and computer that was installed with our lawn a couple of years ago. My Dad helped me fix the broken extra station and I added 1/2" tubing and (Agrifim?) tornado misters. The hanging structure I made out of thick bamboo from my buddy's yard waste for the posts. The horizontal beams I made out of thin bamboo from my dad's yard waste. The binding agent for the bamboo was 40-year old insulated wire leftover from a building project of my grandfather's. And I tied the tubing to the bamboo with some leftover zip ties my dad had hanging around. I also don't have a very big patch so that helped.
