It IS hard to look at an irrigation bill as a newbie and believe you’re using 5, 10 or 15 K of water each month but that is about right for three times a week. Consider a smart controller with WiFi and it will take into consideration the upcoming weather in addition to your smart wick. Example with a smart controller if your watering 3 times a week and the weather calls for rain in the upcoming week it will hold some or all of your irrigation and further reduce water consumption.
