Low Humidity is KILLING me

rhines81 · March 23, 2017

I think when I wake up tomorrow, I am going to fill about 20 5-gallon buckets with water and randomly place them around my house. I've had the humidifier running for the past few days and still cannot break 24% RH.

This year I have well over 220 seedlings sprouted with more coming and the watering chore is becoming WAY too much to handle. The past few years, I only watered twice a week (if that). There is still over 18" of un-melted snow outside and the weather is dry, dry, dry. I seem to be watering half of the plants every other day.

Any other suggestions to keep these plants hydrated??? Please don't say mulch.... LOL, I will NOT mulch a Dixie or Solo cup!!
