I checked the soil this morning and it was way drier than I thought, so I’m glad I looked before watering everything the same way. I also got the 2-zone setup going, which makes it a lot easier to manage different parts of the yard without guessing all the time.

Greetings from Chicago in the dead of winter. All of my stuff is frozen outside, but I’m trying to get ready for spring! I currently have Rainpoint setup in my backyard to water the flowers and plants and it works great, especially the soil monitor! I have one for the front but I need to redo it as a squirrel ate through my soaker hose last year.

Just joining the community and wanted to share a bit of my 1st year journey. My oasis is coming along nicely. Went a little ocd on everything. Built a greenhouse. Put lights on it. Love lights lol. Installed 6 raised beds no wait 8. I have canas, 2 dedicated pollinator and humming bird beds, 3 vegetable beds, one mushroom bed.
