My husband changed all the sprinkler heads and added 'tube & nozzle' irrigation and have most all of our decorative plants in pots. The irrigation in our courtyard zone is set for a few minutes a couple times a day and only waters in the pots. The watering tubes allow you to water in specific pots instead of spraying large areas.

My husband watched 'youtube' videos to learn about how to change the sprinkler heads and then went to Home Depot or Lowe's for the supplies.

I have my garden herbs in pots: parsley, chives, thyme, etc. We have many 'shepherd's hooks' for blooming hanging baskets as well as a few 'garden trellis' for displaying pots. We're here year around so we have time to devote to plant care and maintenance. Stuff grows really fast in Florida!

I can't figure out how to add pictures but you're welcome to stop by and see our courtyard as well as the 'zone' irrigation he created for the larger plantings in our front courtyard beds.

(Just private message me for more information)
