Summary: A Good General Consumer Book
Comment: Before you spend money on any "How To" book , you need to ask yourself at what level of knowledge and expertise you're at. This book isn't bad for a novice wanting to put in a basic system. It does go through the myriad examples of sprinkler types and how efficient they are and the suitability for a particular application. But just like most fields, irrigation is evolving quickly as regards new materials, products and standards. Overall, I feel this book gives good solid information for a do - it - yourselfer. The author does a good job explaining the theories involved with building a home irrigation system. You can save a lot of money installing your own system. You can also cause a lot of damage doing it incorrectly. This book can give you a good idea whether you can tackle installing a system or not. Use this book along with careful planning, to know what questions to ask either a sprinkler supply distributor or to hire an irrigation contractor.

Summary: A little to basic
Comment: Although I am stating that this book is a little to basic, maybe what I was looking for was just more then this book was intended to deliver. I was looking for a book to help calculate how many zones were needed, what type of sprinkler heads, etc. This book had great photographs and basic knowledge. If you are ready to design and install your own system you might want a more detailed book.

Summary: Sunset Garden Watering Systems
Comment: Sunset's Garden Watering Systems do-it-yourself manual is an excellent guide. I knew little to nothing about micro-irrigation before reading the manual. I needed to learn quickly for a project on drip irrigation. Sunset's logical layout with lots of explanatory pictures helped me understand the fundamentals (and intricacies) of drip irrigation. The terminology used was not difficult to understand for a beginner and they even include a glossary. The index was really useful to for quick reference. I recommend this book for any person who wants to learn about or install irrigation systems.
