Evaporative Coolers are great if you live in dry climates. You need humidity which swamp coolers provide; And, they do a good job cooling...

BUT in humid situations...You will rot the garden. I have just recently taken a very serious look into buying a "swamper" and researched this option, but I live in a very humid climate...

So I just bought a new digital wall unit with a reversable-recyling turbo air function, and a timer...LOVE IT!...that will save me about 50-100 bucks a month I bet.

weedhound...they don't get that hot.
