UK weather's putting irrigation systems in a tricky spot, and it's coming from both directions
Wetter winters mean heavier rain in shorter bursts. Ground that doesn't drain well struggles to keep up, and a system left running on autopilot just wastes water that's already sitting there
Then summer swings the other way longer dry spells, more strain on the lawn, right when hosepipe bans start looming
A few things that actually help:
π§οΈ Smart controllers that respond to real rainfall and soil moisture
π§ Drip and sub-surface systems that cut evaporation loss in the heat
πΏ Rain sensors that stop watering ground that's already soaked
Getting water to plants isn't the hard part anymore. Using less of it, more precisely is
