Hi Chuck, and All, I would not bother misting an outdoor bog for
    several reasons, here are two; 1) If the bog is wet enough it
    will create its own humidity anyway as the water evaporates in
    the warm/hot weather. 2)The hard water used to mist the plants
    and peat will contain minerals which will precipitate out of the
    water as it evaporates and be left in the peat and therefore
    eventually affecting your plants. The basic thing to remember
    is that evaporated water, like steam, is basically pure water
    and so what ever is in the water beforehand has to go somewhere.
