Abstract/Contents:Discusses irrigation systems in the green-industry, suggesting that "getting the most from a system cannot only make [the] job easier, but improve [one's] reputation among those who control the budgets." Focuses on "the benefits of irrigation"; "budgeting for an irrigation system"; and "irrigation system maintenance", recommending "to minimize any additional costs, continue routine system maintenance. At the beginning of each year, check the irrigation system control to be sure the system is clean, all wiring is intact, and the system is in overall proper operating condition."
