Do you know who the best contractors are?    Do you know why the best businesses are successful?   They are NOT the contractors who install MP Rotators over fixed spray nozzles. They are NOT the contractors who choose Rain Bird 5000 rotors over Hunter PGPs. They are NOT the contractors who pitch Wi-Fi controllers over standard timers. They are NOT the contractors who say soil moisture sensors are better than weather-based systems, they are NOT the contractors who say head-to-head coverage is better than single row coverage. They are NOT the contractors who don't mix sprays and rotors on the same zone.   The BEST businesses in the world, are the ones who care the most about their customers.   You must out care your competition.

"If all inventions from the beginning had been guaranteed then there would never have been any inventions.     If we are successful it will be something unprecedented.     That is the start of a revolution.     Someday, someone will ask you, “where were you when the revolution started?”     I hope for your sake you don’t have to answer, “it just passed us by.”     Because we were all too scared"       Those are the famous words used by Joachim Sauter to get funding for his startup company, Terravision, the inventors of Google Earth.       Similarly, in this episode, Andy talks with Shane Dyer, the CEO of Irrigreen about the Sprinkler Revolution and how Irrigreen is disrupting all of it.

Meet Robert &amp; Maria Summers, the inventors &amp; founders of the Root Quencher™ deep root watering system. Before developing the Root Quencher™ products, Robert had been frustrated for years trying to figure out how to get enough water to trees while not flooding normal planters. The water bills had gotten out of control and a lot of his deep-rooted landscaping was not thriving. He needed a smart way to deliver enough water to quench the roots of fruit trees, regular trees, and bushes without wasting water. As for fertilizing, he’d been struggling with putting down fertilizers on the ground, scratching it into the surface around the drip line, and watering it in, hoping it reached the roots that were 9”-22” under the surface. It never seemed quite right or sensible to him. As he installed early prototypes of the Root Quencher™, he found that he could use less water, control the flow to balance zones that contained regular planting beds or grass, as well as help his landscaping thrive. He’d rejected the notion that somehow an expensive drip system could give his landscaping the right amount of water and could work in conjunction with his existing sprinkler systems. Short of tearing out all of his irrigation systems and starting over, he pursued the Root Quencher™ as the solution.  In Deep Irrigation is both a woman-owned and minority-owned business. Their products are made in the USA, specifically in California, and cater to the needs of Southern Californians looking to get the most enjoyment out of their gardens—and to save water and costs along the way!
