Signs of Fall
At work the landscape contractor has shown up with one of those towed air compressors to blow the water out of the underground sprinkler system before winter. It’s kinda fun to see bits of the process, air and water mist blowing out of the sprinkler heads. I was out for a walk after lunch in the usually warm afternoon and saw one of the guys working on that, said it’s a sign winter is coming, when they are out doing this job.
Some people have underground sprinkler systems at home for their yards, do you have to hire a landscape contractor in fall to blow them out? I never thought about that when I was a kid! We didn’t have one of those systems but some of the neighbors did. I never saw them being “winterized” though.
