      I’ve done the same. 🎉Props for you. Also, I just wanted to add that some systems seem to have more pressure when they go off automatically, rather than if we turn the valve lever. That’s why a “4 am “ fix might be best.

    • @HomegrownHowTo
      @HomegrownHowTo  2 роки тому +1

      Absolutely! You can apply baby shampoo to the lawn, which is a much more cost effective solution than using an expensive soil conditioner. This helps the soil retain more water longer.
