Getting Started with Drip Irrigation
Take a minute to watch our video, where Tricia introduces several methods of drip irrigation.
Drip irrigation can lower your water bill, protect water resources, and increase crop yield by applying deep water. If you bury the irrigation lines, you'll also reduce annual weed growth.
