Step-By-Step Drip Irrigation System Winterization
Less than an hour of drip irrigation winter care is usually all it takes to ensure your system will be clean, intact, and ready to use again in spring. Ideally, you should go through these steps before the first frost. Draining drip irrigation systems is another chore for the garden, but it’s an important maintenance step. If you do nothing else to protect your irrigation system, do this. Leaving water in it can lead to freezing and ruptures not just in the irrigation components, but also in main water lines. Take time to do this important chore. You’ll be glad you did come spring.
