drip irrigation in the winter??

[pointer80]

For those members that use drip irrigation in colder climates, What do you do in the colder months with your drip irrigation system when the temps get below freezing? Thanks all.

I leave much of my system where it is; the only lines I remove are the ones for rows like my peppers, squash, and greens, which I rotate, and will lay the lines in different rows. The ones I leave out I make sure that I drain them, so no water will be in them to crack anything. Have never had any problems doing this.

To winterize, I remove my timer, 2 way valve, pressure regulator, filter and Backflow prevention adapter from the main line, it's all in one piece. I then break the main line at low points (have coupler fittings) I'm going to put a T in place of the coupler and leave open during the winter.
