I hope this is enough description. What would be your preference- an
oscillating sprinkler or an impact sprinkler? I have had very bad luck
with oscillating sprinklers- they seem to break after a couple of
weeks. If you have a good brand to recommend, please include it!

Thanks

Would drip irrigation be practicable for a lawn? What are the
dimensions of the lawn? Where are the raised beds in relation to the
lawn? In the middle? On the sides? What plants are in the raised
beds? How much water do they need by comparison with the lawn? Al
these are pertinent factors.

As to choice of sprinklers, I just use old-fashioned screw-on
sprinklers, choosing rectangular holes or circular holes depending
where I want the throw.

Squash, melons, and tomatoes don't do well, if their leaves get wet.

Obama is now backing a bipartisan Senate budget plan that would cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy. In addition to entitlement cuts, the so-called "Gang of Six" plan would eliminate a number of popular tax breaks and deductions, including write-offs for home mortgage interest and employer-provided health benefits. The savings would help offset the cost of then lowering the top individual and corporate tax rates from 35 percent to at least 29 percent.

America is not broke.

You put Lloyd Blankfein in pound-me-in-the-ass prison for one six-month term, and all this bullshit would stop, all over Wall Street. That's all it would take. Just once.
