How I Setup a Drip Irrigation System in my Greenhouse | System Component Walkthrough
Are you looking to keep your greenhouse plants healthy and thriving with minimal effort? In this video, I’ll show you how I set up a drip irrigation system in my greenhouse on a rolling bench system.
Why Choose Drip Irrigation? Drip irrigation is an efficient way to water your plants, delivering water directly to the root zone where it’s needed most. This saves water, reduces weeds, and promotes healthier plant growth.
What You’ll Learn:
-The components I chose for my greenhouse drip irrigation system
-How I designed the system to work with rolling benchtops
-Filtration system choices
-Use of the pond as a water source

    I live in Fairfax County, Virginia and plan on moving down to south-west Virginia. Question: Why in the world would you leave Virginia to move to California (of all places). I guess you didn't get the memo that everyone is trying to get out of there. Anyway, I enjoy your fig knowledge... was sad to hear that you left the area. Good luck!

    Which figs UV had for 3-4 years and now rate them as they taste as mature fruit and still love?

    Have you tried the pollinated version of these vs the ones you love to see if maybe is that improving the flavor?

    • @FigLifedotcom
      @FigLifedotcom 5 днів тому

      There is no pollinator in VA. The climate in VA is just not good for this type. It is a top tasting variety in CA

    I had a pond dug for a similar reason--orchard and veg gardens. Thing is I had it tested and it has lots of ecoli. I did some research on it and decided not to use my pond for irrigation based on what I discovered. Concerns include parasites, pathogens, heavy metals and more. Does this concern you? I think regular testing would be prudent once established. Just wondering if you've considered it.

    • @FigLifedotcom
      @FigLifedotcom 20 днів тому

      I should probably test for bacterial and heavy metals at some point, but I doubt there is an issue. The irrigation water comes down from the mountains in canals and it is commonly used for agriculture here. Mine doesn’t come direct from the canals but it’s only a few properties upstream.

    1 of less than a handful of videos on this variety up on the web. Did you keep growing it up until your move to CA? did it get better after the 1st year? I ask because the videos up on it seems to be from 1st year trees and say the same thing, surprisingly not a berry fig not very sweet but a sugar fig with mild berry tones. Any insight would be appreciated

    • @FigLifedotcom
      @FigLifedotcom 2 місяці тому

      I think I only had one year with it in VA. I’ll grow it again in CA but I’m still working on getting everything setup here.

    I’m a beginner at this fig hobby and have checked out many of your reviews. If anything, how about giving the specific fig a 1 to 10 taste rating and show how prolific the tree is? That would give us viewers even more of a detailed description than you always do. Great job and awesome photography!
