The Vandervalks are implementing a subsurface drip irrigation system to provide them with higher yields and quality crops.

In our previous video, we showed our installation team plow in the dripline; the next step is to trench in the sub-mains, main-line and flush-lines.

Jason, Install Lead: Once the drip line is in we plow in our sub-mains, main-lines, and flush-lines. We connect the riser tube to its driplines and we install the valve sets for each zone’s flush valves and air vents.
