Thank you for those resources … working calculations now…
What do you suggest for “Crop Coefficients” for winter grass? Summer grass?
For shrubs/trees, one challenge i face is having a near-acre of drip line and a fairly wide mix of plants/trees/ground cover. Emitter sizes/qty controls this, but having it on a single zone is not ideal especially when trying to do the math for flex schedules.
my yard is basically 3 main areas: grass (5 zones) dripline(1 zone) and citrus tree bubblers (1 zone)
I’d love to dial all that into flex schedules, but it is scary to see water times of nearly 5 hours for drip and 2 hours for citrus (“how is that SAVING water?” lol) its hard to wrap your head around, but think i am close.
Crop coefficiency is the hard thing right now - that and estimated root depth.
CC for winter grass is currently set to .8 on my system; drip lines are at .55; citrus at .6
Root depth is 30 inch for citrus and 18 inch for drip lines
sound good?
