While I do not rely on my overhead sprinklers for irrigation I do have them come on for a short while during the heat of the day to cool the plants. I only use two overheads to cover my 10 plants with each sprinkler covering about 5 plants each. Due to water pressure and volume I can only run one impact sprinkler at a time, but with the timer set-up I have I just program it once and let it run its cycle.

I took this picture as the sun was setting because the stream of water shows up better with the shadow in the background. Typically I have them come on 4 times during the heat of the day with enough time to allow the water to dry before the sun begins to set.
