For those pointing out the expense, it's true these are spendy but it's because they have to buy all the materials that you might get from a local hardware store, cut the materials, assemble, pay for labor (employees are expensive) and develop a packaging and shipping solution. It's very much like if you hired a handyman to come to your home and build this. On top of that, the company will of course want to make money so there will be additional cost on top of all of that. The idea is age old and has been around with a variety of materials for a long time. This company turned it into a product for anyone who wants an easy button and can afford it. For those who can't, the materials can be found at your local hardware store and you could do the same with a few hours of invested time, ball valve, teflon tape, a pipe cutter, pressure reducer, drill and a 1/16 (to start) drill bit. Test the flow and upsize the bit if needed. I think it's like most things. Some people have more money than time and some people have more time than money. I applaud them for creating an easy button for the former.
I'm just starting a raised bed garden. I had been looking for a way to do an auto watering system and initially was looking at doing something similar with soaker hoses. After seeing these online I looked into them and for all my beds the cost would be over $1200. I found the component parts to make them myself and I could DIY it for less than half that.
Thanks for sharing your comments. It's great to hear that you were able to find a more affordable DIY solution using the component parts. One of the benefits of gardening is that there are often multiple ways to accomplish the same task, so it's always worth exploring different options to find what works best for you and your budget.

Where did you find the tubing with the holes in them already. I was going to DIY myself, but the only thing I can't find is the tubing. My only thought is they drilled their own holes in the tubing for custom emitters.
I was thinking the same thing. This is so convenient to put together but DIY would be so much cheaper. But that's what you pay for, convenience. I imagine just using a drill to put the holes.
This is perfect!!! I was stressed to try to set up a watering system for my raised beds and this looks perfect!!! Thank you for checking the watering when the pressure is lower 😊

One thing I don't like about this design is that it waters every plant the same. I often want to water some plants more than other (zucchini needs a lot, carrots not so much)
I have been using them for a couple years now and haven't had any issues. I do run a screen at the spigot which does help prevent any sidement from well getting into the irrigation, I'd recomment these on all drip systems or garden grid systems - www.dripworks.com/irritec-deluxe-hose-thread-filters-y-type?ref=lfw3jygn
You can run on full pressure depending on your watering needs, you'll notice the all-in-one bundles (see here - shrsl.com/4h96f) come with a valve where you can control the flow. More on this in their article here - shrsl.com/4h964
Hi Megan, Last year Garden in Minutes retired their wood beds and have new metal raised beds that fit with their garden grids. I will be posting a review video of them shortly. The wooden raised beds I show in this video are ones I built.

They look great but man they are expensive. I'd have spend nearly $900 to update my garden beds.

Great observation, I’ve learned sometimes it’s worth my time time to click the easy button. :)

Did the tubing come in rolls or straight tubes?

These are so handy! So tidy! We'll be trying. Thanks for the great review!
Glad it was helpful!

After using them for a while, did they clog up and if so, were you able to fix it?
I have been using them for a couple years now and haven't had any issues. I do run a screen at the spigot which does help prevent any sidement from well getting into the irrigation, I'd recomment these on all drip systems or garden grid systems - www.dripworks.com/irritec-deluxe-hose-thread-filters-y-type?ref=lfw3jygn
Did you install water pressure regulator?
Hi. Does this drip system operate at full house pressure, or is a pressure reducer recommended?
You can run on full pressure depending on your watering needs, you'll notice the all-in-one bundles (see here - shrsl.com/4h96f) come with a valve where you can control the flow. More on this in their article here - shrsl.com/4h964
Where is the wooden raised bed from? I only saw metal ones on their website. Thanks

Looks expensive!
