1. An irrigation system comprising:

  • a stand alone weather station including at least one environmental sensor configured to detect an environmental condition of an irrigation site;

    a soil moisture sensor configured to detect a level of soil moisture; and

    an irrigation controller operatively in communication with the soil moisture sensor and the stand alone weather station, the irrigation controller comprising a plurality of user inputs that enable a user to enter a watering schedule including a run time and to manually adjust a percentage adjustment value of a percentage adjustment feature, a computer processor operatively connected to the plurality of user inputs, and a memory operatively connected to the computer processor, wherein programming stored in the memory implements said percentage adjustment feature to change the run time of the watering schedule by the percentage adjustment value, and automatically increases or decreases said percentage adjustment value in response to the environmental condition, wherein the computer processor automatically inhibits irrigation when the level of soil moisture is above a threshold.
