I welcome your feedback on the websites. If you find a bad link, an inappropriate link, or you have suggestions for the tutorials, I would love to hear from you! I do read and appreciate all input regarding my websites. Consider this my "thank-you" in advance.

If you want to send a complement, you can email me, or you can post comments on The Wall at my Facebook Page. You can also post photos of your new irrigation system you designed using IrrigationTutorials.com!

Errors: If you find an error in the website please give me the address (URL) of the page you found it on if you can. With several websites and hundreds of pages of content it really helps me in locating the error. Thank you very much for your assistance!

Irrigation & Landscape Questions:

Here are a few suggestions for getting answers to your questions. PLEASE DO NOT TELEPHONE ME WITH QUESTIONS.

Step One:

The best place to start if you have a question is with a search of the website by entering a search phrase below. The answers to the most common questions are here if you dig deep enough. (I have several websites and this search engine searches all of them, so you may see some weird results regarding hotels and my family vacations!)

Step Two:

Step Three:

Try a local store or nursery. For irrigation questions go to a store that specializes in irrigation equipment. I haven't found that the employees at hardware and home-center stores are knowledgeable about irrigation. I often check out the irrigation department of those stores to look for new products, and I overhear a LOT of bad advice being given by their employees. About 80% of what I overhear is at least marginally bad advice. Some of the advice I hear is not just bad, it is just flat wrong! There are some shining exceptions, of course, and if you work at one of those stores I'm sure that you are one of them! But the bottom line is that you are better off going to a professional irrigation specialty store if you need irrigation advice, and even then use care.

Step Four:

Ask me! You can try asking me, I will answer if I'm not busy with other things. I will ask for something in return. If you don't hear back from me within 5 days assume I didn't have time for questions.

I make my living from my knowledge of irrigation. Therefore in exchange for personal answers to irrigation questions I do ask for something from you in return. After all, I am taking the time to write a personal answer and more important, to try to make it understandable.

Some ground rules: while I can likely answer your question, I don't have time for lots of questions or to design your system for you! Please be reasonable, it takes me 5-10 minutes to read and answer even a simple question. I often spend 15 minutes or more on the complex questions that people tend to ask.

Make me an Offer:

This works a little like bidding on Ebay or Priceline. You make me an offer for my time. Here's some suggestions:

• Make a donation to help pay for keeping this website on-line. Suggested amount is $10.00 for the first question, $5 for each additional question. Sorry, donations are not tax-deductable as I am not a registered non-profit. Use the PayPal "Donate" button near the bottom of this page.
• Promoting any or all of my websites is always a huge help, as I don't have an advertising budget. Links to this or one of my other websites are helpful. Particularly I need links to my newest effort, http://www.historic-hotels-lodges.com/ Obviously I don't want you to link to one of the websites if you don't think it is worthy of a link! Please do not post links on someone else's blog, website comment page, or forum. If you can get them to authorize a link or if it is a close friend you know won't mind, then that's great. Just please don't post a message someplace not appropriate. I don't need angry people flaming me. Thanks!

• Are you a skilled PHP programmer? I would like to automate some formulas for the website and could use help. I code a little,but I'm sure you could do in an hour what would take me a day. I would be willing to trade a full irrigation system design for this.
• Make me an offer! It's fun to get simi-worthless trinkets from people, especially things with a local flavor from where you live or work. I've had folks send me all sorts of interesting things over the years; T-shirts, German chocolate (from someone in Germany!), honey from a beekeeper, legally licensed software. How about photos of odd sprinkler equipment for the website? Your imagination is the limit!

Wait until I've answered your question before you do or send anything. If I don't answer I don't want you to feel I cheated you! I'll trust you to do something in return after I've answered your question(s).

Donations:

Donations go toward the cost of writing and developing more content for IrrigationTutorials.com. Sorry, donations are NOT tax deductible. While advertising revenue covers the costs of keeping the tutorials online, it does not cover all of the costs, especially the hours of time it takes to write, rewrite, and rewrite again. All those rewrites take a lot of time, but they are what it takes the tutorials easier to understand. Thank you for your support!
