I bought a timer similar that was like 45 dollars and it had a misting cylce
on it where it would water 5 minutes then rest 10 minutes for any length of
time I chose. I use the timer for all my watering and I have drip lines
that let out a measured amount like 1 gallon per hour so I don't have to
turn lines on or off and I know how much water everything gets each night.
I Love it
