Hi all, thanks for all the info I learn from MT. I've searched for about an hour with no luck yet on this particlular issue, so here goes:
It's October and I am installing a new mainline (first time tubing) 3/4", 250'. 5/16 max flex laterals, all new tubing.
1) Should I leave the ends open or closed until the season starts? It seems that when I seal glass jars for storage, they get mold in them, so I'm worried about getting mold in a closed tube. But of course an open tube would allow insects, bacteria, etc... to enter. What is the most sanitary method?
2) I want to do as much now as possible, so I can install my laterals and just leave them at the trees with no drop lines for now, right?
Thanks a bunch - Scott
