I am setting up a shade house with new irrigation, primary use for fruit tree seedlings in small 1 gallon and seedling trays. Shade house aprox 80 x 30 feet.
My plan is use plastic pallets sitting on top concrete blocks, as this seem easier and cheaper than building nursery tops out of hardwire mesh and pressure treated lumber, and way cheaper than buying steel nursery tables
As for irrigation, I'm not sure if overhead sprinkler heads or misters are better? Drip irrigation sounds like too much of a pain, considering there'll probably be a 1000+ plants at some point.
Do you think it's okay to forgo a plastic film on top of shade house in addition to shade cloth?
Thanks for your thoughts!
