Water is supplied to the devices via small tubes hooked to a main plastic feeder line that includes a filter and pressure-reducing valve. The systems are unobtrusive and can be hidden under a layer of mulch.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nInitially developed for growing plants in Middle East deserts where water is scarce, drip irrigation systems save water by applying water directly to plants in a way that minimizes evaporation. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nDrip irrigation is one focus of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Healthy Landscapes Program, which aims to encourage water conservation and groundwater protection in Rhode Island.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nWickford Lumber is located at 434 Tower Hill Road, North Kingstown. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nFor more information about drip irrigation or the demonstration, call the 溏心vlog免费B站 Cooperative Extension Education Center at 401-874-2900.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KINGSTON, R.I. &#8212; April 16, 2004 &#8212; Master Gardeners from the 溏心vlog免费B站 will be at Wickford Lumber in North Kingstown on Saturday April 24 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to demonstrate how homeowners and gardeners can conserve water in their home landscapes by using drip irrigation. &#13; According to Rudi Hempe, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archives"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69961"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69961\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
