I finally took the plunge into drip irrigation last year after years of hand watering etc. Like most, you immediately wonder what took so long for the light bulb to come on and make this happen. This brings me to the first tip for Part 2 of your series - map your system especially if it large like mine was. After a long Canadian winter, I forgot about a shut off that I had installed and cleverly hidden and spend several hours this spring trying to figure out why half the system wasn't working. How it was even closed after blowing out the lines remains a mystery. I am sure half of North America heard me that afternoon - lol!

Good Evening Adam! Another great video! Wasn't until this video that I realized dripping around the backflow preventer can be normal! I spent some time trying to figure out why it was happening, only to now find this is normal! I noticed it only occur during watering so advise folks to still be vigilant when checking for leaks. You have given n us all confidence that we didn't know existed! Thanks again!
