Since the ground freezes and the plants cannot absorb water, leading to dehydration, or the cells are destroyed by frost damage, heating the root zone […]

The OpenSprinkler It has two digital inputs, which are essentially nothing more than an on/off switch. This makes it easy to use a rain sensor to turn off the irrigation system when it rains.
