It can save a lot of labor once put in and can help keep things on a schedule. You should look into an irrigation sprinkler system.

It was also hard to lay down - I had to tack it with plastic spikes in some places. Next year I will lay down some more soakers to get better coverage. The hose waters at the root, which is better for plants, and was also easy on my water bill.

I eventually walked in and unplugged the power to the modem so there wouldn’t be an internet connection.
