Toro Launches Comprehensive Drip Irrigation Online Resource

DripTips educational website and eNewsletter provide complete guide to drip irrigation.

In recognition of Smart Irrigation Month, The Toro Co. announced its new educational website and eNewsletter, DripTips. The website, driptips.toro.com, seeks to educate new and existing drip irrigation users by sharing best practices, how-to guides, tips, trends, videos, webinars, design tools and case studies. In addition, visitors will find the latest irrigation and agricultural news.

DripTips updates and replaces the previous and successful educational website, dripirrigation.org, improving site navigation, user-friendliness and social networking/share-ability.

"Drip irrigation is growing in popularity and people are interested in learning more about the benefits of drip and how to get the most from the technology," said Sky Anderson, marketing communications manager for Toro Micro-Irrigation. "DripTips is exceptional because it not only provides relevant news and information, but it also offers tools that help users make decisions. So visitors to the website can do research and make informed decisions all in one place."

Other features of the site include: drip irrigation basics; typical system layout and components; Drip/Micro Payback Wizard – to calculate the payback period of investing in drip irrigation; free drip irrigation design software, AquaFlow; and Drip Irrigation Owner's Manual.
