I have setup several small mist and drip systems at my home. Netafim is one manufacturer of emitters (and other irrifgation stuff) that I have used extensively and you should find at most any irrigation related business or website. I have hanging pots around the railing of my deck, I simply ran 3/4" black poly tubing around the outside of the deck railing up under the railing cap, secured with galvenized nails set at an angle to hold the pipe in place (most everything I do is functional but temporary, as I am always tweaking everything until it finely tuned to my liking). At one end the pipe is capped and of course the other end is either added as a zone to my irrigation system or a hose bib or whatever source adaptor is necessary. Once the "mainline" is in place it is simply a matter choosing an emitter of appropriate gallonage, punching a hole in the pipe, inserting the emitter and running some spaghetti tubing to the pot. Of course emitters are optional, nice in that they will provide an exact flow of water, but for outdoor hanging pots perhaps you can save their cost and simply punch a hole into the poly pipe, insert your tubing and run the "system" till water drips from the pots. Emitters are also nice in that they are, largely, pressure compensating, this simply means that every emitter on the line will emit at the same rate, if you simply punch holes and run tubing some (closest to source) will flow more than those at the end of the line, but this may not be an issue for you. I have done it both ways. Mist is just as simple only you'll use misting emitters. Oh, perhaps I should have started with this but, you must filter your water or you will likely have some clogged emitters, these filters are widely available, cheap, simple to install and use, I use the Netafim only because thats what I could get at work for real cheap.

We just had a security company give an estimate yesterday. More problems in the neighborhood lately, moreso at the other end of our street near the woods and apartments. But more car break-ins (ours are always locked and empty) and potential people casing the neighborhood. The truck was parked outside our house between calls and I got him to come in. However, if we did a security camera in the back of the house, here are some of the issues the rep talked with us about. If you want to record 24/7 you need to have a strong enough internet connection. You also need to have the ability to have a video recorder attached to it; hence, the internet connection. You also need a place to install. If you don't want to record 24/7 then there are lesser requirements, but if we want to monitor the back of the house, it makes almost no sense not to record 24/7. Our street is busy enough someone would have to be nuts to come in through the front, but the back would be pretty easy.

PICTURES OF MY ROOTING ON JAN 30, INDOOR ZONE 5A, 2 1/2 months of rooting: Zippered bed-sheet pouches won over pop-bottle: more sunlight. Below is a very wimpy rooting with a LARGE pop-bottle on top: What I learned from my 1st-time rooting indoor, in zone 5a: Cheryl Netter, the originator of "baggie method" lives in a SUNNY zone 5a Colorado, with 247 to 285 days of sunshine versus my Chicagoland with 191 sunny days (mostly partial sun). My mother-in-law lives in Colorado Springs, and at high altitude, the sun is much more intense. Sun is needed to zap mold. STABLE environment is the key to success rooting. When I squirted water on the cuttings, it drop leaves immediately. Cuttings drop leaves with excessive moisture. I should had used my alkaline tap water (pH 9) plus hydrogen peroxide to prevent mold & black canker. I used rain water, which is perfect pH for mold to grow. The addition of my magnesium-rich clay on top helped with photosynthesis in the weak-sun indoor-zone 5a. After I topped with magnesium, leaves became darker green. After 2 1/2 months, baggie via zippered-bed-sheets WON over pop-bottle. Baggie has a larger area of soil for evaporation of moisture. Plus Baggie allows more sun & air to prevent mold. All my rootings under pop-bottle failed. They sprout green leaves, but the minute I take the pop-bottle off, leaves drop. My sister in WARM California had the same experience. One site said to take the pop-bottle off EVERY NIGHT, which makes sense since there's zero light at night, thus encourage mold & black canker. But it's a nuisance to take pop-bottle off everynight. Pouring water down the stem of cuttings is THE BEST WAY TO KILL THEM. Cuttings rot easily if the medium is acidic & wet.

@Carl Arnold, welcome to the cooking forum! And if you really are a person trying to join in, and not trying to drive traffic to some outside website (why I mentioned no link, but sometimes there's a post that's sort of on topic, and the link comes later), you really are very welcome. As Sherry said, we have problems with bots. Your post was overwritten—very beautifully—for this kind of message board. Your follow up was more normal in tone, but unfortunately the new AI is capable of it all. That said, while we do run to older females in traditional families, we try not to exclude our younger, male, non-binary, non-traditional, unique and diverse posters, and it's right to call us out when we fail in that. Your point about cooking roles being more dependent on individual skills than gender is on topic, and an important POV, no matter how many of us have experienced the calcified classic gender roles in the title of the post. I bought a little table top barbecue last year, and have a littler freestanding one that's cute, but harder to use, and generally too small. I'm not really into outdoor cooking, and don't live in a climate where it's necessary. My little barbecues make my menfolk snicker. They have big and bigger gas grills to cook on...but really only for outdoor parties. I don't get the point (it not being an outdoor kitchen for all cooking in too hot and humid for indoors weather). I think barbecues should burn charcoal and aromatic wood chips to be worth the bother. I use a chimney starter. Barbecues are bad for the air quality, however, so mine are minimally used. The ”outdoors” cooking for us is not a gender thing determined by cultural norms, just a combination of attitudes and druthers that fall that way, informed by weather and circumstance.
