Filed under: backyard science , landscaping Want to know what my biggest pet peeve is? OK, it may not be my biggest, b/c I have quite a few, but this one’s high on my list. Ready? I hate nothing more than unpacking my seasonal items, only to find that they’ve been broken, or were, in fact, broken upon storing them. Naturally, I’m beginning to store my gardening tools in preparation for a chilly winter season, and I’m making sure everything is in tact for next spring. After all, there’s nothing worse than dragging out your garden hose, only to realize

you failed to repair it last fall. First on my repair list? The sprinkler head: One important thing to keep in mind when tackling a sprinkler head repair: When using a hand trowel or old serrated knife to cut through the lawn or dirt surrounding the sprinkler head, be careful not to cut into the water line, which could make this project much more costly in the long run! That’s it — get to work! Good luck, and thank you, Eric!All DIY Info|All DIY Info|All DIY Info
