Thanks for your presentation today on irrigation systems, John. Sorry I had to leave early but at least I caught about an hour's worth.
I already have an irrigation system and have been systematically destroying it over the last few years. I thought perhaps I could pick up a reason of why I should discontinue this practice.
Since you pointed out all the different kinds of connections and types of line, that gave me some good ideas for some mobile systems.
Thanks, Nancy Botta
