My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Weather & Gardening

19 years ago

Having been through a few instances of not being sure how much rain our gardens received during the day while we're at work I'm getting a home weather station. This will give me detailed information on rain over any period, wind, evapotranspiration, etc. Has anyone used information from a home weather station to improve their gardening? How? What works and what doesn't?

BTW, looking at Davis Vantage Pro2 (expensive!), Oregon Sci 968, and Honeywell.

Thanks,
