Those with auto sprinkler systems
Do you have them programmed to go off at the the same time and/or days of the week?

One of my pet peeves is seeing a sprinkler system watering a lawn during a rain.

I have mine programmed to water each zone for thirty minutes in order, but not on any fixed schedule.

I come home, look at the yard and if it needs water I walk over to the box ib the garage and push a single button. Two hours later my watering is done.

If I leave for a week, I might set it up for scheduled watering, but not when I'm home.

And my lawn is the greenest on the block. I think over watering is just as harmful to the health of a lawn as under watering. So I just do it when I think it needs it.

And I don't even have a water meter. One flat rate for the entire year. But why waste it when you don't need to?

1. My system is on full automatic ...
The lawn gets watered when it rains. No muss, no fuss.

:rofl:
