I have been racking my brain for a while now trying to come up with a new design for my aeromist fogger. I may have hit on it, give me your thoughts plz.

I intend to use my last failed project as a starting point. Pictures will soon follow. I have 3 fence post rails already set up, but they were used in a high pressure aero attempt that failed. The failure was in the high pressure system more then the fog portion of the design. I know these rails will work great with fog. The problem has been with the supplemental watering that I will also need to do. I figured the best way to handle that is to simply flood the bottom of the rail with water. If I install a fountain or something similar on one end of slightly tilted rails then the water will gently flow along the bottom of the rail. Any roots that make contact with the bottom of the rail will then have access to a steady water source and not impact any fog roots that I develop high up in the rail. My issues with fog have always stemmed from the fact that fog roots do not enjoy being splashed with large micron water droplets. Additionally if I can grow a nice root mat at the bottom of the rail, then fog roots will likely grow up from the bottom of the rail from the roots that are down there as long as the water level is low.

I think this is a great solution. Up till know I have been racking my brain on how to develop a system that allows me to flood the chamber with water because I know my fogger cant do it alone. At the same time I need to protect my fog roots as much as possible. The solution seems to be that some of the roots will need to be diverted in some manner to give them contact with water, while allowing the rest of the roots access to fog. All previous solutions that I have designed or thought up assume I will dunk all my roots into a water chamber of some sort, but this rail flood solution allows me to control, to a degree, which roots will contact water and which wont.

I wont even bother you with the details of plumbing at this point. I really just need a confirmation of concept. Can I adequately feed my plants all the additional water that they will need by simply flowing water across the bottom of the fence post rail all while flooding the entire chamber with fog?

Part of me wants to redesign using simpler methods like a DWC, but I have seen the benefits of fog and must insist that it can be done. I just need to tinker with it till I can make it work while avoiding the disadvantages such as over heating and dehydration.
