Tools and solutions
Having the right tool for the job can make life a lot easier and increase efficiency and productivity. It seems there are never enough hours in the day for all the work and improvements that could be done. I attempt to streamline and simplify my common tasks in an effort to fit more in and get more done.

Sprinkling (at high pressure)
We have a well with a pump that delivers 25mm of water at high pressure. While I was trying to come up with a way to apply this water gently to the garden I came up with this simple circular terminus mister (click for photo).
It effectively produces a 4 meter high column of mist. Wonderful on a scorching afternoon.

The problem is they require a fair amount of power, thus limiting their portability.
