Just built mine and yes it is definitely better than no rain. Plots already looking better because of this. Super easy. I'm going to add two more tanks and mount everything on a running gear next.
It's probably better than zero water, but a 1/4 acre food plot (about 25x25 yards) would need 1,700 gallons to equal 1/4 inch of rain, so filling and emptying that container 5 times. In drought emergency this might be able to save a few plants, but it's probably better for directly watering new trees than to think this is going to be the way to irrigate multiple plots or anything larger than 1/4 acre. The math wins on this one.
Thanks for the great idea! I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to do in order to get water out to my food plot, and since I saw your video I'm headed to town to get the hose, pump and fittings and I'll be making it rain later this evening.
This video may be the answer to my whitetail fall food plot in Wyoming. We get limited rain late summer, but this just be the ticket. Thanks for explaining the details brother.
Thanks for the video. My food plot is like 20 mi from my house. I bought a little orange generac generator last summer it's 2,200 watts. Would that be enough to run that water pump?
I ran into the same issue this season. I bought the same tank and generator before I found your video lol. But I bought a 1/3hp sump pump with a float shut off and 450' of hose. The closest I can drive to my plot is 400' with a fence in the way. My system works but I have poor water pressure. Takes me over 4 hours to put down 275 gallons. I wanted to switch to that pump but I'm so far from my tank I was worried it would run dry and damage my pump before I could shut it off. Also my tank has a different port on it. So I need to figure out how I can overcome the fitting and an auto shut off for the pump. Any advice?
Na, its great! Not too long or boring for the people who are interested in things like this. I don't have a food plot, but I found it interesting to watch. I created my channel for the same reason you explained in your video: you weren't finding the helpful videos you needed so you decided to make them. Keep it up!👊
I got 2.7 acer plot we just planted yesterday watered some to day 5,000 gallons did a little but need to get out there all day tomorrow and put somewhere around 15k 1,000 gallons at a time

I wanted to say thank you! It worked great and I am watering my first food plot
Great video! Did you have to prime the pump before using?
Great video.Bang for $ I think next spring will be trying this setup
What size banjo coupling did you buy? And the size of the inner piece that you used the brass threads cut the 3/4 inch hose?
Awesome video Trey, 👍🙏🦌🇺🇸
Can’t wait to make my own system using your knowledge and teachings.
Thanks for the video. My food plot is like 20 mi from my house. I bought a little orange generac generator last summer it's 2,200 watts. Would that be enough to run that water pump?
Awesome video man! Very helpful! Question for you, about how much coverage did you get out of 1 tank?
Great video, hopefully I will have the land to be able to do this one day!!

7:08 "it better be super deluxe or Im not gonna be impressed. LOL. That was funny...haha
Love it! Wish i had rigged this up before planting this year. would be good for tree plantings as well.
Whitetail Cartel thank you very much!
Thanks for the video! I plan on using your idea!
Great video for a great idea.
👍👍🦌🦌how long did it take to empty the tank❓
Have you tried it with a sprinkler?
Do you have a link to the coupler?
Thank you I’ll be making this soon !!
great video
Awesome video +Trey Larson!
JTgatoring thanks man!! It’s kinda long and boring but anyone wanting to do this kind of project should enjoy it!

Thanks brother!!
27,300 gallons of water to supply one acre an inch of rain. Just sayin.
Thanks building one now
Clothes washer hoses are female to female.
Awesome. Just what I was looking for! How much dirt approximately, can you saturate with 1 tank? 1/2 acre or so?
