Automatic sprinklers vs manual watering.

While the watering system is convenient, some plants and orchids inevitably gets insufficient amount of water, after months of trial, some plants needs to be moved and new misters and micro sprinklers e added. I still find manual watering the best as it allows even watering to make sure all the plants and orchids get their fair share of water + I can check the plants and orchids as I am watering. I now use a combination of both when I am not travelling.
