A free printable irrigation schedule — zone by zone with method, frequency and duration you decide, a month grid to date, and system checks.

First page of the Watering and Irrigation Schedule — Set out what waters what, how, and how often, then keep a dated record through the season alongside the system checks that stop a blocked emitter going unnoticed.

What this sheet is for

Set out what waters what, how, and how often, then keep a dated record through the season alongside the system checks that stop a blocked emitter going unnoticed.

Who it is for

Gardeners, allotment holders and smallholders running hoses, drip lines or timers.

How to use it

  1. Write down where your frequencies came from — a supplier, a book, or your own experience of this soil.
  2. Set the zones up once at the start of the season.
  3. Date the month grid as you go rather than ticking it, so you can see gaps.
  4. Run the system checks at the start of the season and after any frost.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

Why are no watering frequencies printed?

Because how much water a bed needs depends on your climate, soil, planting and season. Any figure printed here would be wrong somewhere and confidently followed. The sheet holds your figures instead.
