Will Macrotastics... Repair work on sprinklers? I don't have Seasons yet, so can't test this.
Yes, yes it will. Macro Garden is also capable of detecting whether or not a sprinkler needs repair, and uses this as part of the decision of whether or not manual watering is necessary: A broken sprinkler counts as "no sprinkler present".
Hook:
I used sprinklers on my first gardens, but they were always wonky. I finally got rid of all the sprinklers and do manual watering. I know that manual watering will raise a plant's health; I don't think the sprinklers give the same benefit, but I haven't tested lately. Manual watering will also give gardening experience which is useful before you get the gold badge.
Since you can never be sure which plants need water and which don't, Macrotastics' Macro/Garden is very useful. It causes your Sim to water plants that need it, without overwatering some poor plant in the process.

Sagana:
Another way to figure out when a plot needs water - if 'water many' is available, they need it. If it's not, they don't.
Hook:
If you've got 10 plots that say "Water/Many", and none just say "Water", then at least 2 need watering. The rest may not. Which two? No one knows. But Macro/Garden knows, and handles it properly. And *this* is the reason I got Macrotastics. I got tired of guessing, or having a sacrificial plant.

Zazazu:
I suspect that the largest sprinkler (360) breaks down a lot less than the smaller ones. I kept thinking that I was having less sprinkler repairs on my nine-plotter than my initial three-plotter back when I was doing gardens, but I haven't done a garden recently and haven't taken good notes on them. I suppose the repair rate is in the programming of the item, but SimPE and I are barely on speaking terms at the moment due to the fact that it didn't know how to compensate for my own idiocy during face template creation.
