Hi,
We're landscaping our backyard. We want to put in lawn in the middle with generous border areas where we'll plant low-water plants with mulch as ground cover. My understanding is that the low-water areas should be watered using a drip system, rather than sprinklers. We currently have one water spigot in our backyard.
- Can both a sprinkler system and a drip system be tied into that spigot?
- Is there a timer/control system that can do both sprinklers AND a drip system?
- I'd like to put in the sprinkler + lawn first, and worry about the border areas later. Is there any reason not to do it this way?
Thanks.
