Entrance reducers
« on: November 10, 2007, 07:27:36 pm »
Howdy all,
  I just wanted to know when to put entrance reducers in place. This is the Augusta GA. area. We had what I think was our first frost Thursday morning.
  Thanks for any help.

I put them on as soon as there is a fall dearth to avoid robbing.

Thanks twt and Michael Bush,
  Do I use the wider or smaller of the two openings? This is going to be my first winter.
