It is possible to keep the roots of some pine trees too wet. (They can drown.) And a lot of water on the bark isn't a good idea as it promotes rot and some other nasty things. In their natural settings, a lot of pine trees don't get that much "standing" water around them, nor do they get much water on their trunks. Their branches are generally designed to shed preciptation. Find out what kind of pine you have and do a bit more web browsing, consult your local nursery man (who specializes in trees) or return to WikiAnswers with a more specific question. Certainly if you have a university close, inquire with them about any arboreal assistance they may be able to provide. Some communities have a professional or "resident" arborist who can help. The city parks people should know. Good luck with you landscaping efforts.

What is the purpose of a sprinkler system blowout adapter and how is it used to winterize a sprinkler system?
A sprinkler system blowout adapter is used to remove water from a sprinkler system to prevent freezing during winter. It is connected to an air compressor to blow out any remaining water in the system, ensuring that no water is left to freeze and potentially damage the pipes or sprinkler heads.
How can I remove a sprinkler head?
To remove a sprinkler head, first turn off the water supply to the sprinkler system. Use a wrench to unscrew the sprinkler head in a counterclockwise direction. Be careful not to damage the surrounding pipes or fittings. Once the sprinkler head is removed, you can replace it with a new one if needed.
What is the purpose of a sprinkler blowout adapter and how is it used in maintaining a sprinkler system?
A sprinkler blowout adapter is used to remove water from a sprinkler system before winter to prevent freezing and damage. It is connected to an air compressor to blow out any remaining water in the system, ensuring it is properly maintained and protected during the colder months.
What is the difference between deluge and other fire sprinkler systems?
In a deluge system the water comes out of all sprinkler heads at once, compared with most fire sprinkler systems in which each sprinkler head has its own heat-sensitive trigger. There are major design differences in how much water you need for a deluge system and what safety interlocks are built into the system to prevent accidental water damage.
What should I do if I notice my sprinkler valve leaking?
If you notice your sprinkler valve leaking, you should turn off the water supply to the sprinkler system and contact a professional to repair or replace the valve. Continuing to use the system with a leaking valve can lead to water waste and potential damage to your property.
Why won't the sprinkler valve turn off?
The sprinkler valve may not turn off due to a malfunction in the valve itself, a problem with the wiring or control system, or a blockage in the water line. It is important to troubleshoot and address the issue promptly to prevent water waste and potential damage to the sprinkler system.
What is the purpose of the sprinkler system cap and how does it contribute to the overall functionality of the system?
The purpose of the sprinkler system cap is to cover and protect the sprinkler head from damage and debris. It helps maintain the integrity of the system by ensuring that the sprinkler head remains functional and can effectively distribute water in case of a fire emergency.
What should I do if I find a sprinkler box full of water in my yard?
If you find a sprinkler box full of water in your yard, you should first turn off the water supply to prevent further flooding. Then, contact a professional sprinkler repair service to assess and fix the issue. It is important to address the problem promptly to prevent damage to your yard and property.
How does a sprinkler valve work to control the flow of water in a sprinkler system?
A sprinkler valve works by opening and closing to control the flow of water in a sprinkler system. When the valve is open, water is allowed to flow through the system and reach the sprinkler heads, which then spray water onto the desired area. When the valve is closed, water flow is stopped, preventing water from reaching the sprinkler heads. This allows for precise control over when and where water is distributed in the sprinkler system.
Where can one find more information about fire sprinklers?
Over 40 million fire sprinkler heads are fitted each year. A fire sprinkler is a component of a fire sprinkler system that discharges water onto fires in the area once the effects of a fire have been detected, such as excessive increase in temperature.
What does iron in your water do to your trees and shrubs?
High levels of iron in water can cause leaves on trees and shrubs to turn yellow or brown, inhibit plant growth, and weaken the overall health of the plants. Excessive iron can also lead to stunted growth, leaf drop, and root damage in trees and shrubs. It's important to address the issue to prevent long-term damage to the plants.
Why does the sprinkler turn only when the water is on and turns in the direction opposite that of the water?
Newton's third law of motion. The turning of the sprinkler head is the equal and opposite reaction to the water leaving the sprinkler nozzles. The water goes out and the sprinkler nozzle is pushed backward, turning it in a circle because the arm is attached to the middle of the sprinkler. The higher the water flow, the faster the sprinkler spins.
