As mentioned earlier, I bought a DIG 5006-IP timer to handle misting. I thought it would turn my pump on and off periodically, but found it requires a 24 volt AC relay to turn on the 110 volt pump. The picture below shows how I took a short home made extension cord and tied the relay into it along with the wires from the timer. The timer is not very intuitive and took me a long time to get it working right, but now I have the pump spraying in the aeropropagator only 15 seconds every 10 minutes which is plenty for my cuttings. It is working great, but only downside is the cots. I had decided to buy the timer which was $80, but had not planned on the additional $40 for the relay and a plastic box to mount it.

I bought the timer from Mistkits.com and was very pleased with the support provided to get it working. Without the support, I am not sure I would have ever figured it out. I probably wouldn't have spent the money for this if this was all it would do, but I plan to use the timer to control a misting system for cuttings this summer. This timer will control 6 different valves which is more than enough for my needs. I could have it control my whole yard sprinkler system too, but that is already covered.
