The technology is here now. And it works. Smart controllers can easily reduce watering by 50% vs. standard timer-based controllers. It's all our company installs now. We've installed over 35 of them this year alone. I prefer the Rain Bird ESP-SMT Smart controller myself. But any of them are a giant leap better than traditional controllers. You're speaking my language with this article. Great subject. The more people learn about this the better. I'd like to be able to keep irrigating 20 years from now. And we'll only be able to do that if people start to change their habits in regards to water use. <a href="http://www.lewislandscape.com/irrigation_installation.html" rel="nofollow">Portland Irrigation Company</a> You're right on the money highlighting Smart Irrigation controllers.

It's very upsetting when we see people using spray head type nozzles mixed with drip line systems and then they end up watering for the application rate of the spray nozzles. The plants on the drip then suffer for lack of proper irrigation. The landscaping we find in Tucson, AZ is mostly drip irrigation.
