Turn water volume and system flow into run times.
Starting from the water volume a bed needs, dividing by the system's flow gives the weekly run time, then splitting it across the week. Timers should run on minutes needed, not habit, because deeper infrequent watering beats frequent shallow watering for roots.
Watering Schedule
Run time = water volume ÷ flow; volume = area x depth x 0.623
