Which Watering Timer Is Right For You?
The simplest form of water timer is the mechanical countdown. This will function like a kitchen egg timer, counting down the minutes. Most are mechanical, driven by the water flow or mechanical spring. |
They are simple and easy to use. Just turn the dial to the required number of minutes you wish to water and of course there are no batteries required.
The downside to this type of timer is that it needs to be set manually before every use. There is no automatic repeat feature or delayed start.
Before deciding on what type is best for you, it is a good
idea to understand your garden and what is going to be best for your needs.
