An Indicator that visually signals when it is time to start and stop watering by the Indicator's ability to distinctively change it's relative physical size and/or shape as it takes on and releases the water.
1. A method for determining when to stop watering a lawn comprising:
planting seeds and/or plant life;
applying an Indicator on surface of soil along with said seed and/or plant life;
said Indicator being of a given size and/or shape;
applying water to said seed and/or plant life;
said Indicator absorbing moisture and changing to a distinctively different size and/or shape (i.e. swelling) that is visually noticeable;
whereby, said change to Indicator serves as a visual signal to stop watering.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said Indicator also signals when to start watering said seeds, soil, and/or plant life again;
wherein said Indicator, as it releases water during the drying process (i.e. is deactivated), changes to a distinctively smaller size and/or different shape as said Indicator's said change, serving as the visual signal to start watering again.
