Description
Over time spray irrigation systems can lose their efficiency and the even distribution of water within the landscape. Plants grow and block the spray; heads are out of adjustment and some nozzles can become clogged. This can lead to increased maintenance costs, greater accumulation of green waste due to constant pruning and water being wasted through over-irrigation, puddling and runoff. Excess irrigation also leads to soil compaction and an unhealthy environment for your landscape plants.All these factors result in you throwing money away as you try to maintain your spray irrigation system either by doing the repairs yourself or hiring landscape professionals to correct the issues.This course will explain and, through field application, demonstrate how to convert your low efficiency overhead spray irrigation to a highly efficient drip irrigation system, a system that will allow your plants to grow and provide the appearance and aesthetics you want to see within the garden.This course has been developed for both homeowners and landscape maintenance personnel who want to save water, save money and still have a healthy and vibrant landscape.From evaluating your current irrigation to designing and installing a new system, this course will walk you through the necessary steps to convert to drip irrigation effectively and economically.
