If your looking for a simple and cost effective solution to watering your turf and garden this summer without your constant attention, read below.
___________________________________________________
Purchase a watering timer from your local hardware store (home depot) 40.00. Preferably with 2-3 hose bibs like the one in the picture below. This way you connect hoses for your front back and garden areas.
These controllers allow you to set the specific times of the day and duration of irrigation.They switch between outlets and turn on and off automatically. Built in rain delays prevent wasted water as well.
Connect oscillating sprinklers of your choice, these range from 10.00 - 80.00. If you don't already have these, buy them for 10.00 at home depot. avoid spending to much as these are only plastic and can be easily broken.
If you have an old hose you can place pin holes two inches apart through the desired length for a mist irrigation of your flower beds. If you have to purchase one, pick the cheap hoses that range from 15.00 - 20.00.
If you don't have any of the equipment listed above this will only cost you 75.00 total.
Timer = 40.00
Sprinklers = 20.00 for two
Hose = 15.00
