Umm, yeah that's the last thing I'd be interested in...I'd rather chew my own face off. I garden for pleasure and that would take it all away I think. Don't you think? (Although, I know you're a tech guy so maybe you think it's awesome.)
I don't think of it as a substitute but as a complement. Designing the area and ensuring the system takes care of everything when you are not there. In the end, you would probably spend more time setting everything up and checking progress, but I think adding tech and personal touch is cool.
I understand completely, but for me it's the design work I do myself, on paper, stepping things out, scribbling and scratching my head that brings enjoyment. I know some tech stuff, I'm not a (total) idiot in that aspect but I'm really quite an analogue dude when you scratch the surface. Sure, it's going the long way around, but I don't like the way technology (digital technology) seems to have taken over life. I don't even use tap or sprinkler timers...Totally analogue.
Yeah, I do too, and I totally get the situation, tech makes things so much more efficient and easy, but yeah, I just can't bring myself to embrace it. Maybe I really am an old dinosaur ready for the recycling pit. Leave me long enough and I'll turn into fossil fuel and power someone's car! 😁

I see your point, it is probably more romantic but I just hate getting home after a long hot weekend and seeing all my flowers starving.
