After spending many hours toying with the settings, I think I’ve finally settled on something. I selected trees for my zone, input my AWC based on previous data I knew about my soil, but adjusted the root depth to something much more shallow --closer to 10 inches instead of the usual 2-3 ft. When I select scheduling based on flex monthly, I looked ahead into the June, July, and August months to see the total duration of watering per month. It’ll be watering roughly every 3-5 days, but the total monthly duration will be roughly similar to what I’m already doing during those months. It’s somewhat equivalent to my 20 min x 3 per week over a whole month during the hot summer months. I’m in my orchard daily, so I’ll be monitoring stress level closely. Summer months are usually the most stressful periods for my trees given my climate in southern California. I’m ok with the less frequent irrigation during the rest of the year as I’m be monitoring closely. Thanks for your input
