Hey Jon, thanks for your time
Well, the outdoor mist kit is a damn good idea. I can also use a system like it to moist other kind of sprouts.
What I'm concerned about is its size. I mean, I have to built all for a very little system (about 30x30x50 cm). Also, it's placed in the kitchen (on the fridge to be precise) and I don't have full availability of the tap to attach a timer+hose on it. Moreover, I don't need so much water, just very very little (100 cc every 6-8 hours or something like that).
So, maybe I can install some smaller nozzles on the mini pump.
What do you think about it?
