Do you use Misters for your HBs?

Hi, everybody---

I am wondering how many DGers use misters to attract HBs and to keep them happy?

Some examples---

Or better yet, does anyone make their own misters? And if so, what's the best way?

It's a little late for me this year, but I thought I might be able to pick one of these up at a close-out this fall if they are worth it...

Thanks for any advice...t.

Tabasco,

I never could make myself pay that much for a mister when waterhose nozzles and sprinklers can do the trick.

When I have time to sit out on the back porch I sometimes move a sprinkler close to a tree so that the water reaches several branches. The hummies will zip through the water and if I'm lucky and fast enough with the camera I get to see one actually perched on a branch taking a shower :o)

I've also hooked the waterhose nozzle over a branch and set it to a gentle spray or mist when the hummies are out and about.
