04.13.11: Have you resisted buying a water timer to water your lawn or gardens because of the price?
I have not seen one for less than $49 at most stores.
Last year, in my endless searching for bargoons, I came across this one at Walmart.
It works very well. I set it for up to 2 hours and forget it.
As some of you are aware, I installed an inground sprinkler system myself, a couple of years ago, for approx $200.
It works very well but doesn't cover the area between us and the house on the north side. I may do it this year.
I have bought it twice now (reason for 2nd one later in this post).
I buy it because it is cheap and works.
As you might expect, it is only sold at Walmart.
The reason I just bought a 2nd one is I left it out over the winter and the water froze and broke it.
At $6.98, I am not too disappointed ... but will bring it indoors next winter.

I'll check it out. Thx
ReplyDeleteDoes this just lie flat on the lawn, or is it a stick in the ground model? I'm definitely going to get one, too have a tricky area at the side of the house and this would be perfect. I'll still have to jimmy with hoses though. Thanks for the head's up.
ReplyDeleteFor the non-mechanical viewers, this device screws into the faucet and the hose screws into it. Rotate the timer to the desired minutes and forget it.
ReplyDeletep.s. you still need a lawn sprinkler.
bought two today. for $7 it's worth checking out. Thx for the tip.
