My dream gardening tool is a drip control system that can be controlled from my home computer or office computer. Specifically, to have zones that I can turn off and on from the PC.

Does anyone have a clue how to research this? I'm sure the commercial farms use this but I don't know if there are home systems available yet.

I don't know anything about it, but I just ran across this one. The box stores carry it. I wonder if it would work with mist spray heads?

edited out the exclamation points - maybe someone out there can comment on this timer, or any others?
