to new york city needed like me taking care of Lana is well let's just say it's a new concept now that I've moved to Louisville Kentucky owned a house and a lawn for the first time I really need to learn proper lawn care I know that regular watering is essential to having a healthy lawn but I don't have a traditional irrigation system and I'm not going to spend thousand dollars to get one but after a little research and tinkering though I've MacGyver the solution that does the same job for a fraction of the price the core of my lawn watering system is the $40 quick snap sprinkler kit a compact rotating sprinkler which attaches to ordinary garden hoses the other half of my system is the $35 orbits single dial hose faucet timer this is a valve controlled by an electronic timer which sits between your outdoor faucet and a garden hose you might also need to use a few water hose adapters to extend the reach of your home's outdoor faucet don't worry they're pretty inexpensive about 4 to 5 dollars each at your local hardware store to hook up everything I first attach a hose extender to my faucet then I connect that to the water timer next I screwed my garden hose to the other end of the timer then I connected the quick snap adapter to the other end of the hose after that I dug a small hole in a plot facing my lawn then I place the sprinkler in the hole and connected it to the hose after testing the sprinkler and making tweaks for amount of rotation and aim I filled in the hole and set my timer I now have a sprinkler that covers my front lawn independently functions when and for how long I want and without paying through the nose or digging trenches follow these steps and you too could have an irrigation system on the cheap you
