Holmes will provide a brief history of the practice of drip irrigation and explain how drip irrigation can help the homeowner conserve water while directing water to where it will be most beneficial.
He will explain the components that make up a drip system and describe procedures for laying out the system from faucet to flower or vegetable bed. He will share recommendations for selecting parts.
Holmes has 30 years of experience in civil engineering and managing systems of various sizes. A Master Gardener since 2007, he has installed systems at two local Master Gardener demonstration gardens and maintains a community water system for the Dungeness Meadows Home Association.
