I have read that a typical vegetable garden requires 1 inch of water
per week. If i there is no rain, how can calculate the time to leave
the sprinkler on? I have a 16sqft garden. We have no water restrictions
in my area. (not yet anyway)


Put a rain gauge in the water path. It takes a few hours to get one
inch. The same rule applies to watering grass, it needs an inch a week.
