To achieve this goal most spray head zones (sprinklers that do not rotate) need to run approximately 15 minutes and rotor zones (sprinklers that do rotate) need to run approximately 45 minutes. If you have much slope on your lawn areas you may need to run 2 cycles but with shorter run times on the zones.
When using underground sprinklers to irrigate the garden, keep in mind that pop-up sprinklers take 40 or 45 minutes to deliver about an inch of water. Double the time for sprinklers with rotor heads. When you use sprinklers to water your vegetable garden, be sure that you wet the soil thoroughly.
