What drip irrigation means in Caruthers
Drip works at low flow, so small problems show up as dry plants rather than puddles. A clogged filter, a cut tube, a loose fitting or a missing pressure regulator are the usual causes.
We walk the zone while it runs, find where the flow stops, and repair or rebuild the line. For new beds, we lay out a zone with the right emitter for each plant.
Drip puts water at the roots in Caruthers beds and trees, with little lost to walls and walkways, and it runs on a short, steady schedule.
