Under Plant Air Circulation �Henry Fans�

I call these �Henry Fans� since �Henry-the giant pumpkin grower� from Massachusetts here on bigpumpkins.com recommended them to me. They have worked out great which is why it is great to reach out to the giant pumpkin growing community as they know the unique purposes these plants take to grow so when something comes recommended it has a high rate of success.

Reading all of the different fan styles, hp ratings, features can get a bit confusing but these are ideal for under canopy air circulation.

These carpet drying / blower style fans not only move a lot of air, but are very stable and low profile so they can easily be placed under the leaf canopy.

There are three settings and 1/4hp and they only need to be run on the lowest setting and work out great. There is still a breeze felt about 20ft away (assuming you have good weed control) so the under-canopy air movement is ideal.

Lastly, they are daisy chainable so the number of extension cords needed can be kept to a minimal.
