I need an alarm system to remind me. Any suggestions for how to install a small watering system where I just push a button from inside my home?
Guess I should ask in the gardening thread. |
I rigged mine up to my drip emitter system and installed a shutoff valve before my garden that is directly into the poly pipe. That way it can be on a timer like the rest of the shrubs/yard, or I can continue watering the rest of the yard and shut the valve off since the garden requires less water. The emitters are super easy to install and I can even regulate them to have some of them turned off and some kept on if something is harvested and no longer needs to be watered in a certain area.
This also allows use to leave for a week at a time and not need someone to come water out plants.
I too am a black thumb and not a handyman, so if I can do it, so can you.
