I recently did a front yard reno, with a complete re-seed.
A week later, I seeded my back yard and pool area. So, my front yard is a week ahead of my other 2 turf zones.
Until now, I had all of my zones in a single “new grass seed” fixed schedule. Start at 7am, and run 5 minutes every 2.5 hours. I do a manual cycle/soak of 5m / 2h25m until 5pm.
Now that my front yard is about 2-2.5" in length, I want to break it out into it’s own fixed schedule for the next week or so since it probably needs more water at once, but less frequently.
My question is: if I have multiple fixed schedules with a long soak cycle that runs 7am to 5pm, will they properly overlap, or will it wait for 1 fixed schedule to complete (at 5pm) before kicking off the second fixed schedule?
If they don’t overlap, is there a better way to set up multiple, overlapping fixed schedules without creating a new schedule for every time I want the sprinklers to run?
edit: I set up the 2 fixed schedules and see it does run one at 7am and the second starting at 5pm, which I obviously don’t want. Is there a way to overlap 2 fixed schedules? It seems the manual cycle/ long soak is causing them to run serially rather than in parallel.
