If you're thinkig about giving drip irrigation a try or you just want to learn more about it, this is the place to start. We'll present information on a variety of subjects, at various levels of detail and let you decide what interests you. The nice thing about drip irrigation is that there is no "right way" to do it, there are only various "ways" to do it. Some ways may work better than others and most drip systems start out doing it "one way" and evolve into doing it "another way". That's another nice feature of drip irrigation systems, just because your drip system is setup in a particular configuration now does not mean it has to stay that way. It's easy to change and/or modify the configuration of a drip system. So, a drip system will evolve as your needs evolve.
