Hiya cat6910 and welcome to the forums

 If you can I'd go for drip or mat, mist may raise humidity to much causing fungal/mould problems also scorching from water droplets on the leaves in the summer sun.

Fabulous size for a greenhouse btw, lots of possibilities.    

Thanks ... Oh, but the choices ... what do you put under a mat system? if I did a drip thing could I fill a pond liner with sand to hide the hoses, and just have the water seeping through. The humidity could be a problem if i have a mist system as well... and what would that do for my dirty smoking habit ?

what a fabby greenhouse you have! I'll do you a photo back and you can give me ideas. if i put the drip system in sand do you think the water would seep through and then i wouldnt have hoses all over the place...

Welcome cat6910, that's a greenhouse worthy of Kew. I kitted out one like that at work a few years ago and had a mixture of capillary matting on the staging, fed from a cistern with a ball valve for potted plants, and a mains dripper system for larger plants direct into the soil. Also had a mist spray activated by a humidity sensor in a separate propagating deep bench, filled with sharp sand over a heating cable, in which you could plunge pots or simply root cuttings. Lot depends on what you want to grow. In the greenhouse at home I use micro-irrigation drippers fed by gravity from a water butt filled from the gutters. Hope that's of some use.

Maybe in time my greenhouse will develop into the one you built!  I wonder if I should just practise first with a bit of sprayer pipe from the farm with holes drilled in it ....

Under a mat you usually have some thing waterproof, like trays or thick plastic with raised edges to make your own trays.
