    Episode #2 - Building Your Startup Plan: Using Winter Downtime to Win Spring
    Dec 22 2025

    In this episode of Roots & Rows, we look ahead to spring and talk through how to build a strong startup plan during winter downtime. With the holidays approaching, we discuss how to use this slower season to review last year’s performance, create a startup checklist, plan pre-season watering, and use soil sampling to guide fertigation decisions. We also answer listener questions about spring flushing, trusting automation early in the season, and timing EQIP applications before mid-January deadlines. If you want a smoother, less stressful irrigation startup, this episode is a great place to begin.
