Hi everyone, I just finished building a new evaporative cooler for my garden. It uses a small HVAC filter to filter the air before it runs threw four synthetic evaporative cooler pads, and then blows out my variable speed blower (180-300 cfm) so not only does it cool the air, it filters out dust, pollen and all kinds of bad stuff from entering the garden.
It's about 80 degrees in the house, and the cooler is blowing out 70 degree air, and it feels even colder than that on my skin because of the fan speed. With the fan at top speed it will draw all of the air in my bedroom threw it in about four minutes, so this cooler will definitely make an impact in the temperature of my bedroom which is usually the hottest room in the house.
Anyway, the tea plants are hangin' in there. I've been dealing with a pretty large population of fungus gnats coming from the cheap soil I used... next time I will mix my own soil-less mix. Also the regular camellia has started to get some brown spots on some of the leaves which I have to ask around about to try and learn how to save it, but I'm sure I will be able to save it. Also I preordered 40 tea seeds, and since its becoming fall, they will be ripe and ready to grow soon, so I will put all of them into a larger drip hydroponics system or a soil-less mix, and try and get a bunch of plants.
but for now I have to get a job and put my hobbies aside atleast knowing that my plants wont get too hot.
for anyone visiting my blog thanks for reading, and I will make a video of this new evaporative cooler and my plants soon!
