I thought this would be expensive and difficult, but your instructions are so clear that even I can do it! And no guessing on timing and the amount of water. Thanks!
You can do it! It’s not as intimidating as it seems
Thank you for this video. I’m redoing an 80 yr old landscape in my elderly years so I need all the help I can get. I’m trying to do the garden so it will be less work when finished. I want to enjoy it not be a slave to it. Drip irrigation was one thing I wanted to add but I feel so intimidated as a female knowing what to buy. I too have well water and I found your video helpful. Thank you young man for sharing.
Hi! Yes our gardens should be a place of enjoyment, not something that ties us down. That is exactly what I’m trying to achieve in my garden as well
Always great to see you working in the garden and yard. You should really start a vlog -- just a normal day in the garden/yard, etc. I think a lot of us would love to follow.
The day I’m able to make this my full time gig I would definitely consider it!
@@plantvibrations We know that feeling. Thanks for considering it :)
THANK YOU for this tutorial. SUPER HELPFUL!!!!!!!!!
So happy to hear that!
I researched weeks ago & bought 2 timers. It doesn’t look like you have a backflow preventer? I bought new ones & so glad I stumbled on videos as they are tricky to remove. One can strip their spigot if removing a backflow preventer wrong. If one never uses fertilizer spray or if no underground sprinklers, then prob ok to go w/o one. 😊

Very informative. What do you know about rain barrels?
I’ve been researching them and the main downside is if your region experiences cold winters
I have two 4x8 raised beds hooked up to this same timer and 1/4” drops with 6” emitter spacing. My struggle is how long and also the layout of tubes within the beds. I have 3 “lines” per bed, each the full 8’ long and I have the timers set to 45min/day 🤷🏼♀️ who knows if that’ll be good for my stuff yet or not haha. I wonder if I should instead snake the tubing around all my plants within the beds?
Doing in lines is best in my opinion but I have 4 or 5 lines in my 4x8 raised beds - it depends what I’m growing, how many plants and how close together. Winding around is okay but I find lines more flexible. When it comes to how long to run, you have to experiment - there is no standard time.
Max length should be 30’ for 1/4” tubing. I’m surprised you’re not loosing presssure. I use 1/2” tubing for large beds.
I think the layout is irrelevant as long as emitters are close to the base of the plants. But like the comment below, pressure will drop after a certain length
Thanks for adding in your experience!
That is a great rule of thumb!
I bought the black tube soaker hose that drips from the seams. Heard that more watering = bigger hostas. Probably more neg reviews on the black hose than the drip lines. Our soil is full of rocks, so need to amend & add soil before I’d go this route. (60 mi. from Mt. Rainier, & rocks are from pre-historic? volcanic explosions). 🫣
Yes the Hostasvlove rich soil
