Instead of one long watering session, I use my RainPoint to run 3 short cycles with 30-minute breaks in between. This allows water to penetrate deep into the soil without runoff. Game changer! What’s your best scheduling hack?
Cycle and Soak completely fixed the puddling issue I had on my sloped garden. Highly recommend!
Brilliant strategy! You’ve perfectly applied the “Cycle & Soak” method used by pros—short cycles with breaks improve absorption, reduce runoff, and encourage deeper roots. Exactly the kind of smart control RainPoint is made for.
