One solution is to install "freeze proof hydrants" These are very long and the actual valve is inside the house or the basement, I opted to put all of our outside hydrants on a common header with a shut off valve that I turn off in the winter and we also use freeze proof hydrants through out.

I heard something about making another faucet/valve before it goes thru the wall and then let the water drain from the outside faucet when not in use?Spouse and I are beginner DIYers...oh and... any advise about getting rid of the ads when you try to post via group website?
