This is something I do not always agree with. One can have a great lawn and well maintained lawn without irrigation systems. If you watch the weather and spread the weed and feed on your lawn during the correct times your lawn will be lush and beautiful.

I have a drip line through my vege garden. Everywhere else has to depend on the rains. Although I have a lot of pots which through the summer months, I hand water. My drip system for my veges is on a manual timer. So it doesn't happen every day, it happens when I manually turn it on. What annoys me with automatic timers is that if we've have a week worth of rain, the timers still will put the water on. It doesn't need it!
