I also have a flower farm that I am happy to allow to take 4 days to mature. I can't water them now. I have to rely on the harvester to water them before working.

In other words, I have lost choice over the appearance of my farm and the way I work it.

Also, I have lost choice over my crops. I have to factor in that 20-hour limit on replanting. I would have loved to use the irrigator for 8-hour crops, so that I don't have to harvest them in the evening when I should be resting. If I do that, I have to plan carefully what I will plant next, as it won't be irrigated.

I think something we have paid so much money for should be more convenient. It should irrigate ALL crops, either like the manure spreader (where it's the ground that's affected) or by us being able to use it again on a new crop.
The red sprinkler does nothing to the trees.
