Garden timer setup in Sidmouth

### Your Plants Shouldn't Depend On You Remembering

You've got a garden full of pots. Or a greenhouse. Or beds that need regular watering in summer. **And you've got a life that doesn't revolve around watering schedules.**

Forget once during a hot spell and everything's wilting. Go on holiday and come back to plant carnage.

Or you diligently water every day, standing there with a hose, when you could be doing literally anything else.

> 💡 **Pro tip:** Automatic watering doesn't just save time - it's more consistent than human memory, which means healthier plants and less stress.

### Why Timer Setup Needs Proper Attention

It's not just plugging it in and hoping. Here's what makes the difference:

| ✅ Set Up Properly | ❌ Guesswork Install | |-------------------|---------------------| | Timer matched to your needs | Whatever was cheapest | | Schedule based on plant types | Random "twice a day" setting | | Battery/power checked | Dies the day you leave | | Tested before you rely on it | Find out it doesn't work when plants die |

**The issue?** Garden timers look simple but there are lots of ways to get it wrong - wrong duration, wrong frequency, wrong time of day.
