For Theac

[Gemma]

Theac, because I have a board meeting for the Lavender society this weekend, I took some pictures to present, and I thought while I was at it, I would show you what I was talking about yesterday.  Remember what I said, 'Anyone can throw enough $ at something and grow just about anything... Growing at a profit though, thats another story'
(Lo-tech=profitable)




The 'propagation house'.  These are all various Lavender cuttings.


This is a little home-brew creation of mine.  Simply put, it converts a 125v timer signal to 24v solenoids that control a misting system for the cuttings. 


this is a solenoid that runs water to the white 'misting-nozzles' you see in the middle of the bed, when recieving a 24v signal from the timer.  I have it set for about 16 seconds of water, every 13 minutes, day only.


128 cells of 'hidcote' lavender cuttings. 


And thats how I do what I do.
