Freezing--can spraying or misting help

[crust]

Its going to get down to 25-28 degrees and I have too amy trees to run them all in the green house plus I have a sciatica attack going on. If I went out during the hours of freezing and misted or sprayed would this thwart injury?

I'd use a fan like California.

I think you have to spray continuously during the freezing times for it to work. If I were you I would hire a couple of teenagers to move your trees.

This...though how about using a sprinkler if the trees can't be moved? If it's only going to be below freezing for a few hours, that might work, though 25F is pretty cold.

Can you cover & put a string of Christmas lights around them? Use the old version that give off heat, not the LED ones.

We use oil lamps, those breaky-thingies you put in your winter gloves that produce chemical heat, encased candles, and for everything lower than -2°C we spray water.

A barbecue would last through the night as well, toss some unannealed wire on it and you'll hit two rocks with one bird.

I wonder if sprinkling with a warm water source on a timer 15 minutes in every half hour would work. Sorry to hear David, I know your adversary sciatica, it's almost impossible to do what you are needing to do.
