what kind of timer
 

Thanks for the help on watering. I am using a 1'lift@ 185 gph. Its a little overkill but was the only pump I could find. Should I barely open the valve until it fills and empties within say 2 to 5 min or?? min. Also, what kind of timer do i get and where? Thanks DR Greenthumb

The timer you buy will determine how long you have to water. I use 15 min. on 15 min. off 24 hour timer. So that will give your pump 15 minutes to fill the garden to the right height. Your plants don't need to be watered for that long but a cycle timer that lets you set the on time by minute increments cost a lot more.
