Good, if I decide to get one maybe you can tell me how to hook it up.  I never

have figured out about hoses, etc.  The only problem with the solar heaters is

that the batteries die after a while.  I change out my solar lights about every

year.  Would be nice not to  have to use electricity.  You have to plug in

your batteries every so ofen then.t

I can't see any advantage over battery powered, except the current price. I'm

installing battery units on all of my raised bed. They cost about $37 each. Each

meter will control 200 foot of hose.I could have bought one timer for the entire

garden, but because each bed has it's own water requirements, I went with a

separate timer for each bed.

I just saw that Home Depot has a sale on a Solar Powered Watering system

(RainMaker). Price went from $49.50 to $28 shipped. It waters the plants every 3

hours and adjusts the amount based on sunlight. Comes with 12 drippers and 45

ft. of hose.

What do you guys think about it? It's a one day sale.
