Drip Irrigation
Saturday, September 21, 2024 · 10 am–noon
Unionville, Virginia
Drip irrigation has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below. Meeting participants will learn how to identify what is necessary for crop irrigation, which will help in design and installation. Participants will learn how to operate a drip system and receive tips for keeping that system running smoothly and efficiently.
Space is limited to 20 participants.
