turn the water on. it'll blow out the sprinkler heads. duh.


Well that's obvious, but I thought that blowing antifreeze all over the
lawn
was not good for the environment as well as the grass.


When I say add antifreeze, I'm only talking like 1/2 cup.
Diluted with the water already in there, which is no more than 1/2
cup, I thought it would be ok



Suppose 1% of the inground sprinkler owners in your state thought the same
way. How much antifreeze would wind up in storm sewers and ultimately in
rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, etc.?
