Mushroom log misting system
We collected enough water in
the IBC rain barrel to soak the mushroom logs.
I thought we could set up a
misting system on a timer, but I think our water pressure might be a
problem.

So far I used this kind http://img.bazarek.pl/9375/2483/611633/7941723574aff26c75cf86.jpg orifice from a gas oven to cool myself in the garden during hot summers. It creates a mist. literraly mist. I just wonder if a preasure from the IBC would be high enough.
I like the windshield wiper sprayer idea mentioned by Wewally, but if you want a non-mechanical option I wonder if just a drip system would work?
Maybe you could connect pvc pipe in a grid and drill small holes at regular intervals, then hook that up to your tank with a ball valve in between so you can easily turn the drip on and off. It would be similar to DIY drip irrigation many people use in their gardens, and I don't think those need especially high pressure.
