Hi @zalusky, thanks for reaching out!
Small planter containers can be tricky to calculate schedules for due to the numerous variables at play; vegetation type (and/or mix of vegetation types), soil mix, drainage within the container, location/exposure of container, etc. In general, I’ve found the following zone attributes work best for containers; Vegetation: Annuals // Soil: Loamy Sand // Exposure: per site conditions; typically lots of sun or some shade // Nozzle: match precip rate; typically emitter, bubbler or mister // Slope: Flat.
Regardless, you can configure a straight interval schedule for any mix or single zone. For more information, please see our watering time setup and watering time features support articles. If you need any help setting up schedules for your small planter containers, please send us an email @ support@rachio.com and our support team would love to help!
Best, Emil
