Hey, Steve - So how much water are you giving in 2 minutes? I've got
to get onto the twice a day thing, but am afraid of my timer (might
loose what I've got going now if I try a 2nd cycle!) Thank, Allan

My 6"deep 16wide grow beds get just about enough water in that 2 minutes that a bit seeps out onto the concrete floor, since the water here is 250ppm calcium I cant run drip or tube weights, just a chunk of tube drilled into 3/4 or 1/2 inch plastic pipe.

Pleasant surprise last month was that when my old, expensive then, controller gave up I found a digital one on Home Depots www for under $30.00 which so far is working like a charm.
