There is a drawback to this method - and that is this is tapping into an existing zone that also waters lawn space. The lawn irrigation requirements are much different than the lawn but this was the best course of action for me in this case. It was not worth the money or time to create an entirely new zone just to irrigate these pots. I’ll have to monitor going forward and strike a balance between the needs of the lawn and those of the pots.
