Sprinkler

Sprinklers in Stardew Valley can play a very important role on your farm. They allow you to free up some of your time and energy by watering your crops overnight. This in turn will allow you to plant far more crops, allowing you to make a lot more gold.

Each type of sprinkler will only water a specific amount of tiles. Only tiles that have been tilled will be watered by the sprinklers. The game contains 3 types of sprinklers, with each one watering more tiles than the lower quality one.
