An Area

Basically, there are 4 steps:

1. Set up how many rows you have

2. Set up areas in each row

3. Assign a crop to each area

4. Give the boom crop watering instructions

It’s easy!

Let’s say you have 3 Crops, as laid out in the greenhouse above.

Even though

Crop 1 is in 2 different areas, you don’t have to input 2 different programs

. You

simply give Crop 1 watering instructions, and both programmed areas under

Crop 1 will be receiving the same watering regimens!
