Thanks for the initial replies and suggestion to measure the rate in the worst parts of the lawn.
When I created the first flex daily schedule, which was a big reason I got the system, it said my max watering time for shrubs was over 1 hr - the area of the shrubs are not that 10’x10’ in the front? so it seemed weird during the setup. I read something on here to stay with flex monthly and tweak over time. That’s what I switched to the last few days and had the hunch the lawn needs more water or tweaks, hence my post to the forum. Here are a few screenshots of the flex daily. It seems strange that the biggest zone, the back lawn’s a max time is shorter is than the tiny front lawn - grass patches along a sidewalk and over an hour for the shrubs? It’s going to be 100 degrees and no other zone gets water?
I don’t doubt the knowledge and thought that went into the app and system - for a first time homeowner and new to landscaping, the onboarding and initial setup could use further explanation when the recommendations seem counterintuitive. @rraisley @RPostWVU @franz
Based on my photos and overview, what is your recommendation on how to best leverage the system? Happy to provide more information you would need. I do think the output is about 1” / hr but I’ll retest in the thin patches.
