Controlled Water Use for Lawns and Gardens Video

Greg Peterson from Lawn Logic explains how their soil moisture monitoring and control system overrides an irrigation timer and prevents unnecessary watering when there is enough moisture present in the soil. The eight zones around the house are set for moisture requirements depending on plant and soil needs. The control center prevents overwatering or wasted water in a given zone by measuring the actual moisture present and sending a message to the irrigation system. Lawn Logic works with all types of irrigation systems and soils.
