ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a watering device for watering gardens and the like without constant attention. The device has a box-like construction and has an L-shaped passageway therethrough with an inlet and outlet for connection between the sprinkler and a source of water at the opposite ends of the passageway. A solenoid operated valve is mounted in the passageway, with a solenoid upon actuation moving the valve to open the passageway. A timer is mounted on top of the box to actuate the solenoid at a selected hour of the day to thereby allow water to flow through the passageway to the sprinkler for sprinkling, which timer will maintain the solenoid actuated for a selected amount of time. A thermostat is mounted to the top of the box which actuates the solenoid when the temperatures reach the danger of frost (35.degree. F. or below), which solenoid opens the valve and allows water to travel through the passageway to the sprinkler for sprinkling gardens and the like to prevent the frost from damaging produce in the garden.
