Just a hobby farmer in Texas but I really enjoyed this video. Drip irrigation is a fantastic means to keep a garden watered when there is scorching weather as we are having now. You have a great presentation style and subtle sense of humor. No doubt your mother would be proud!
I am a hobby and occupational farmer. I have never got many things right for a while. Thank you for addressing a great deal of my irrigation predicaments before I start. You are quite eloquent and simple on the subject. I am now motivated to start. Thank you.
I have plastics concerns about drip, but I do also appreciate that in a lot of cases, it saves a *lot* of water by comparison to overhead and flood, and that you've embarked on standardization to minimize the number of cuts you need to make to the tape, thus reducing farm plastic waste. If I had to irrigate more than is practical with just hand-can watering (I live in a semi-wet part of the world as you likely already know from my previous comments, though I can't call the rainfall reliable) for most of it I would use drip (some on-surface, some sub-surface), on standardized multiples of 2 meters. I hope for a long life, health and prosperity for yourself, your family, your employees and their families, and your students and their families.
When I saw this vídeo I was delighted by the ease manner our host went through the whole explanation about the drip irrigation system. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with the world.
Thank you for your videos. I am just starting selling produce, and after this year's drought, I need to conserve my water. Looking forward to reviewing more of your videos. Thank you very much Martin.
Hello Chesha I like so much yours videos from the farm. I'm a cuban farmer I sow cucumbers, carrots,peppers and any vegetables. My first problem to produce is de irrigation. Here is by gravity with a Diésel motor and spend so much. I'd like to put a drip irrigation, but here in Cuba 🇨🇺 is difficult to find this systems. I was watching you can sow very well with this irrigation systems .
Do you have access to the patent drawings for drip irrigation components? If you have the Internet I would assume you can look up patents. It may be possible to reproduce a soaker hose by using locally available materials, although you may have trouble with having accurate pressure and water use regulation.
Am currently in med sch ....however i have a passion for farming......i plan on starting it out next out......this video gave me some insights.......you just got a new subscriber❤
I just googled drip irrigation systems and this video came up it is very insightful I must say keep up with the good work sir this is great content for us wanna be farmers
This is beautiful presentation, I have been gifted a piece of land. I had never taken interest in farming before but I am now looking to learn and you sir have become my go to. Thank you very much.
25:40 I suggest you install a pressure gauge one before the filter and another one after it. The pressure difference between the two will tell you when to clean the filter.
Thanks for the lengthy coverage. There are many other cost saving ideas including: 1- Using covered cheaper and equally good materials / tubing 2- Using only one line / bed 3- Bending and tieing the ends with tapes/ wires saves you the expensive end plugs. 4- Utilizing 1 meter deep 4 inches perforated pipes besides trees will save you a lot of money, manpower, water and weeds growth. You could connect these tree roots watering pipes with your irrigation networks. 5- You could save fertilizers by growing fish in your reservoir and gain " free " fish/ protein ( Aquaponic system) ...etc Please keep up the good work
I watch you because I get inspired watching your farming lessons...thank you so very much. Drip irrigation system is the way to go especially now when there is a gradual increase in the earth's temperature we really have to use water efficiently..
Thank you Mr. Mondo. This is been very helpful. Am sharing with my irrigation tech to borrow some of your ideas. Love the sense of humor by the way. You are my virtual mentor and I am learning so much. 🙏
This is next level new world ideas. I love the simple concept of your explanations. Erosion is very misunderstood about soil conditions and properties. Like microbial organisms and plants, insects, mammals, arachnids 🕷️, and fungi. Save genetics, save all living organisms. 🎉
@@mondofarms4343 thank you so much. It's not been easy from purchasing the land, sinking of the borehole, putting up a few structures and buying these equipment. It's been a hectic 2 months. Hoping to launch it by Independence day. That's my freedom to explore new challenges. Your channel has been helpful as I kept and still keep checking it out for reference... moreso, for well researched information 🙌. Tawonga chomene. Keep it up big man, from your student about to make it
You are a good teacher my brother, when you are teaching about farming, you remind me of my lecturers at the University of Nairobi. Anyway, I am seriously thinking about farming on a piece of land that I was gifted by my late grandma. The problem with that farm is the availability of water though, but i watched your other video on UA-cam about Water pans and damliners and i think that will be the way to go for me... I am also thinking about rainwater harvesting, because we have at least one season of heavy rains in that region, and i watched another video of a guy creating a rain roof ; no building, just a stand alone roof specifically for harvesting the rain water and directing it to a water pan... Much appreciation from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪
We only have one rain season here in Zambia, which I have always felt does not give enough water for successful and sustainable rainwater harvesting. But I have seen a lot of videos of it being done in Kenya. All the best. Thanks again for your support.
Thanks. We tried mulching with grass once and regretted it. The grass we used had too many seeds, and they ended up growing into weeds that really negatively affected our crop. But of course, we will try again with fresher grass that hasn't yet seeded.
This is so motivating . You have inspired me. Am in Western province a teacher by profession trying to source some funds to start something like that I hope it will work out. I will come back to testify. Thank you ba kalamba
Indeed the drip irrigation system is the best irrigation system for any crop be it sugarcane, vegetables or any other crop like soyabean etc as it saves precious water and energy
I learned a lot by watching your video for almost 1 hour about drip irrigation. You gave me an idea on how to do this in our farm in the future but have to raise some budget because this materials are bit expensive in our place. Thank you for sharing your technology twas a blessing for me as a farmer beginner. God bless.
I'm glad it was helpful. Indeed, investment is required when setting up a farm enterprise. It is usually best to develop things over time. As I said, we have been buying drip equipment in since 2020 as the farm grew. All the best.
Great Tips, learnt so much, the farm tour was excellent, really awesome presentation by the great Man from Zambia....Onions..ha!ha!,looking forward to more similar vids..Much love and respects from Fiji

Thank you so much for a clear and entertaining informative video.....we are new fruit farmers in Spain (Irish)...we have almond and apricots...olives also...new fan now
Been watching from Dar Es salaam Tanzania. This is a great presentation. Was wondering how do you protect the plants from wild animals like rabbits etc . And how is the salinity of your water! Thanks.
Yes rabbits can be a challenge, but not too bad. The snakes get most of them, plus our guys like setting traps for them. Just joking, we grow vegetables within fenced off areas. The bigger problem we face more than wild animabla is neighbours cattle, especially from Aug to Nov when the traditional practice is to let them roam free in search of food. So we invest quite a lot in fencing. Salinity of our water is quite normal.
Tili makola kwaliso namwe? This is so useful. I feel like starting over in everything I’m doing and getting on with drip irrigation after watching this
Wow. That sounds so drastic and extreme. Why not introduce drip irrigation systems in stages and for the next crop? Let your team get used to working with them over time. Unless your situation is very bad. As the old saying goes: farming is a marathon.
I really enjoyed your very INFORMATIVE and EDUCATIVE video...I would like to know which country are you in and also how long did it take you to construct that water reservoir?!
Hello MondoFarms, I wanted to express my appreciation for your informative videos. They've been incredibly helpful for a young farmer like me. I have a plantain farm and a tractor that I use for weed management. I'm also looking to implement drip irrigation on my farm. However, I'm concerned about how to lay the pipes without causing damage, especially when using the tractor for weeding. Do you have any advice or techniques that could help me avoid damaging the pipes during this process?
Hi Mcbean. That's a great question, but one we can't really help with yet. We don't yet have a tractor and only hire them for field preps Our advice is to consult experienced and reputable drip irrigation experts in your area when you are going to implement the system. They should be able to advise you properly and perhaps help train your tractor operators on how to maneuver in and atound the drip tapes properly. All the best.
Hello Mr. Folotiya, Do you allow farm visits, I plan to start farming early next year and I would really love to visit your farm so that I can learn in details about the drip irrigation system. Overall a very detailed explanation.
Thanks. We limit the number of visitors to the farm, as it really impacts our ability to meet our work targets. You can imagine how many such requests we get each week. But we have now started to hold Farmers Field Days, likenthe one last month. They are well advertised, and if you subscribe to our channels and follow our Facebook page, you will surely be among the first to know when the next one is. We make a lot of effort to plan, film, and edit these videos as our way of helping others.
Thanks for the question. Sadly, we limit visits because our farms are working places, and we find that handling visitors disturbs our ability to meet targets and deliverables. We hosted our first Farmers Field aday with Holland Greentech last November, which was a great opportunity to visit in a structured manner. We will have more in the future and will definitely publicize it in good time. Look forward to seeing you there.
Excellent presentation skills, I want to be like you when I grow up 😂 Question: I've been pondering placing plastic discs around the plant's root zone to counter evaporation and prolong moisture. Is it advisable considering the threat of moulding? 🙏🏾
A very good presentation. Because of this video, I have dug my water reservoir, it's about 1 million liter capacity. I'm considering buying a 2 HP booster pump for a 5-acre farm, what's your recommendation?
We're glad it was helpful. For pumps, we always recommend getting expert advice locally. There are many factors to consider, like soil type, crop type and population, type of irrigation, etc. All the best.
Good day. Many thanks for the very useful insights. Two questions from me. What material have used to construct your reservoir and do you use a pump of gravity to push water from the reservoir to the fields?
Greetings! I just have a suggestion. After studying your video, it has occured to me that you could cover your resivour, as the sun may lead to excess evaportation. What drawbacks would this lead to? I am asking out of curiosity. Great video!
@@mondofarms4343 wow ok, the advantages over regulaar drip system are: even distribution of water and nutrients to all plants dispites sloping terrain, no or much lesser clogging of drip tapes, longer shelf life of drip tapes. Only disadvantige is the higher investment cost. It's for sure a better system than the regular one. Niceest video about the system search: "How We Irrigate Our Farm - 80 Acres Tomato Out-Grower Farms In Ghana 🇬🇭 (Woadze)"
I'm glad it was helpful! We use different sizes of pipes according to the distance they are traversing and the pressure we wish to achieve. We have found the 50mm pipes economical for big volumes of water moving hundreds of meters. Then, when we reach the crops, we reduce to 40mm into the bypass systems and the drip lines.
That's Chisha Folotiya, one very hardworking and enterprising fellow. Also runs one of the best private schools in the country. Keep soaring.👍
Thanks Ba Mulenga.

Yes rabbits can be a challenge, but not too bad. The snakes get most of them, plus our guys like setting traps for them.
Just joking, we grow vegetables within fenced off areas. The bigger problem we face more than wild animabla is neighbours cattle, especially from Aug to Nov when the traditional practice is to let them roam free in search of food. So we invest quite a lot in fencing.
Salinity of our water is quite normal.
