Calendar Event: Winterizing Newbie question Posted: 25 Sep 2013 at 10:59am |
Ok after further review the second drain is right next yo the first but buried under the foam. I broke some of that off and hopefully will be able to remove it. Thank you again. I would never have found those.

My question is about the pink 'RV antifreeze'.....I can't find anywhere online where it would be 'safe' to use in my homemade 1/2" black tubing vegetable garden irrigation system. Does anyone know if the stuff has any adverse reaction on soil used for vegetable gardens?

I don't know anything about winterizing a garden... maybe try GardenWeb.com...?
In general, any outside hose will be fine if it freezes. It's the hose bib and and house plumbing that is in danger if the hose stays connected to it and holds water in that freezes. The RV anti Freeze is safe/non toxic to humans, otherwise you couldn't use it in your drinking water system. But in high concentration, what it would do to plants I don't know. |

S C A R Y ----- The Walmart stuff is poison, and the Camco -50 seems to be the 'safest-of-the-bunch', as far as I can come up with in online searches. Anyone have an msds link or experience using this?

Please link whatever you are looking at at walmart... ??? RV anti freeze is RV anti freeze. Wal Mart doesn't make it's own. And NONE of it made for/as RV anti freeze is poison. Automotive anti freeze is, but that is NOT what we (or anyone else) uses for winterizing. In fact the last time I bought some, it was from walmart. I actually don't use it anymore, but still have some out in the garage for the "P" traps and black water tank. |
