I wanted to do something like this for my Christmas decorations it s very hard to get spikes into the ground. so I tried to put pop pipe there and leave it but when i pulled up decoration the pc pipe can put too because the the mud had hardened . I need a pipe with a spike on the bottom and so the dirt can't get in. so can leave the pipe in and then just set up decorations . so this helped me this of how to do this. thanks. don't know if this made sense. but thanks for video
Awesome! Pro tip for this: If you make some good compost, teaming with beneficial microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, microarthropods, macroarthropods), you can pour some of that compost-or a compost extract made from it-down deep into the ground with this system, then plant your bushes or plants in that space above it and put mulch on top around the plants, and you won’t need to leave any pipes in the ground at all. You also won’t need to water very much, if any, after that. After the plants get established, you won’t need to irrigate them anymore at all. The life that you restored to the soil will feed them exactly what they need when they need it, 24/7/365, which eliminates the need for any inorganic fertilizers, and they’ll get all the water they need from the soil.
Hats off for a great DIY video. You motivated me to try this myself, and let's just say YMMV!! I used the same PVC/hose material as you and got nowhere near as easy of results. Clearly we have different soil - mine is a mix of clay with some rock material. Not sure what you did to control the water flow (besides having a value), but I experienced a surprising muddy shower due to the water backflushing out the top of the outer 1.25" PVC (did I say I have clay soil). In the end, was about to only get the 4 pipes started and sledge hammer down 12-20" deep. We'll see how this really works out.
great video -- at 1:30 with your little dance if you wore a thong you might get some $$$ for that :-) -- watching the nozzle attachment i realized that my power washer would server the same function as i've used it for the irrigation trench on caliche soil .. (to be honest i'm trying to avoid doing that "dance" as it might blind the wildlife here)
Hi sir,I think all the water will go underground even if you have holes on the sides. Does water spread horizontally ? Capillarity principle might not be effective. So I am planning to use a low pressure shower head with small protrusions,do that sand particles don't get in and bury it horizontally and irrigate the roots . What's your opinion on this sir ?
Dang, Matt be working them .... legs lol nice surprise in a gardening video haha
Thank you for the instruction on how to dig a hole. You must be an engineer! Quite helpful. THANKS

The store stakes have mesh to keep dirt out, don't they? Maybe we should fill the pipes with some large sand? How are you periorbital, 2 years later?
Circular saw to cut PVC...my kinda work.
