Abstract: A method for determining watering times includes determining a dynamic watering schedule to replenish water in a root zone for an irrigation zone. The method includes controlling an irrigation system to water the irrigation zone based on the dynamic watering schedule. The method includes, in response to irrigation of the irrigation zone according to the dynamic watering schedule, receiving user input indicating a preference to increase or decrease wetness for the irrigation zone. The method includes, in response to the user input, modifying the dynamic watering schedule based on the user input to increase or decrease wet. The method further includes controlling the irrigation system to water the irrigation zone based on the dynamic watering scheduled as modified.
