I found this sprinkler at the local big box store for about $35.00.

Although it left a 5 foot dry zone on either side of the garden, I figured I could stagger it&#8217;s placement to make up for the shortcoming.\u00a0 When I moved it to the second placement in the garden it stopped working completely. I tried every adjustment I could find on this tripod with no luck.<\/p>\n<p>Just when I was about to break out the packaging and bring it back I had the idea to look for a kink in the hose, and I found one.
