Default Re: Banana Heat Tolerance

Go to a real irrigation shop (not a hardware store)
You can buy pvc t's that are 1/2" with 1/8" on the top side. Install foggers.
I started out with misters, but they clog up way to easy.
I screwed the pipe run about 4-5 feet off the ground and screwed it to the fence
I set a timer to give it 10 minute shots 3 times a day.
If a heat wave is expected, change the timer to 10 minutes every 2 hours
By no means does this qualify for watering. You still need to moat up the water. Foggers play a game with the humidity
It keeps the nanners happy
