Ryan Popple

thanks y'all!

This was our first year using drip irrigation in our small backyard garden of 6 raised beds. We are located in Pittsburgh PA (zone 6a). My question for y'all is, what do you recommend for winterizing a drip system? I have drained the system, but should i disassemble it and put it up for the winter? Any suggestions , tips or tricks would be welcomed. cheers y'all.

Hello rich,my name is Ryan, I received my PDC two years ago and have been practicing permaculture for about 5 years now. I would love to help in any I can. Feel free to contact me through here or on my instagram page @gratefulgardenguild

hey justin! i plan on giving to the kickstarter soon. Thanks for all you have shared through youtube, podcast ect.. if your trip comes through Pittsburgh, we have a small scale urban homestead, micro csa and sell to a few local juice bars and cafes. We have two extra bedrooms if you would like to crash for a night or two. Cheers, good luck!

no worries. we had a great trip and where able to stay at bonita domes. which where very inspiring.

My wife and i are doing a week long trip to Joshua Tree in April. Flying into the LA area. We are looking for any permie farms/homesteads that we could tour and or help out for a day. Hoping to gain some more knowledge and motivation for our future projects.
Cheers, Ryan
