RE: Irrigation

["Stu Worrall" <stuart@xxxxxxx>]

I would be interested in this as I grow Bonsai which sometimes need
watering 3 times a day depending on the weather.

Only problem is that I don't (yet) have homevision.  Would the
serial
board that your thinking of for the future get oer this problem?

Thanks  Stu
