Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 81720, member: 944"] First of all if you are going to water with a sprinkler system you MUST know how much water is being distributed in a certain amount of time. For instance how much per hour. Get some straight sided tin cans and place them around the area to be watered. Turn on the sprinkler for one hour and then go measure how much water is in the cans. The tree will need a lot more water than the vegetables but only about once a month. On the vegetables if you give them 1-2 inches per week that is more than sufficient, less if it rains. Sprinkler systems are for lawns and are the most inefficient of all watering systems for everything but grass. [/QUOTE]
