by Shannon McKee | You know the
saying—an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure. This is particularly true for
the care of your drip irrigation system, which
is often not on the top of the to-do list.
C
aring for your drip irrigation system is probably on your
to-do list somewhere, but it’s often not seen as something
that’s vital to your set-up until something goes wrong. (A
drip irrigation system breakdown that results in your plants
being damaged from lack of water is certainly something
you’ll notice.) However, a little TLC in the form of preventive
maintenance throughout the growing season can help you
stop these breakdowns from happening. Following these
tips, you’ll keep your system clean of debris and bacteria
while keeping the pieces and parts in optimal condition.
