Irrigation or irritation...

Similar words, only different by a singular letter... Irrigation in these days and times is measured by ET rates and volumetric water content percentages. Knowing what is present in the soil is one thing but applying the water is a different story. Tonight, Jason and I are running around; popping on heads because the irrigation computer crashed at about 2:30 this afternoon.
Since some fertilizer was applied today, it needs to be watered in before our scheduled mowing tomorrow. 

It sure beats the old days of 'night irrigation' guys running around kicking on water cannons in the middle of the fairways! I must admit... I have grown accustomed to clicking the mouse on the irrigation computer at the end of the day and going home.
