Your videos are very helpful in enabling me to take advantage of fabric containers for growing vegetables. I have space to eventually create permanent beds, but am limited by cost and labor. The containers will serve for now and into the future.
I’m in a condo and I have a garden raised bed but need to water everyday. Is there a solution for me since I don’t have an access to a water hose but still want to setup a water drip system?
I absolutely love this! Thank you so much for all these incredible videos on fall gardening and drip irrigation systems!!! I can't wait to do this, I actually have been getting a lot of pots on sale and now have spread my garden from the yard to the pots. This is perfect! But I have been eyeing those smart pots, they just seem so easy. And I use those jiffy peat pellets on a regular basis, I share everything that I learn here on your channel with my family and friends and even people at wal-mart, when they ask me about the things I'm buying lol. Didn't realize a lot of people don't know how to garden or anything about it, I always refer them to here. Always looking forward to your videos, new and old ones!
Hello Jimhl - drip irrigation will save you so much time and super easy to install, inexpensive and will keep your garden producing. You'll love the Smart Pots - I am hooked on them. And thanks so much for spreading the word about how easy it is to grow your own food and supporting me by sharing my videos! Keep me posted on the progress of your garden and let me know how your drip irrigation install goes. Stay tuned for next weeks video on installing a timer to automate your system.
Kim, you and Paladin did a wonderful job explaining how to set up the DIG. OOPS...did I say Paladin. I meant to say Stu. I thought I was looking at Richard Boone😊. QUESTION??? I yse this system in short containers but I couldn't get enough water pressure to go up onto my 3 feet tall elevated garden boxes. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for this video.
Hi Kim! I am really considering installing drip irrigation. We have a pool in our backyard and the only growing areas I have are along the perimeter of the yard and a decent concreted area for containers. Thank you for this tutorial!
Hi CaliKim, I was wondering if you have an idea how I can install a drip irrigation on my apartment balcony without a outside faucet? My apartment balcony does not have a faucet... so I'd have to figure out a way to get the water source like from the kitchen... or maybe from a water bucket?
Great video, but I question the need to flush the tubing. Why would you need to, unless you were dragging the cut ends through the dust and the dirt where would it pick up internal debris? Perhaps you think the manufacturing process leaves behind little particles of plastic that could plug the emitters? But if you must flush then flush.
I love watching your videos, even we have a different climate here in the Philippines, I learned a lot from you through your videos and I love watching them. I love gardening as well. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Donna - you will love this kit, easy to install, inexpensive , and the consist watering keeps the plants producing for you. Stay tuned for next week's video on installing a timer - this puts the icing on the cake! Let me know how it goes - thanks for watching!
Omgosh, this system looks amazing!! I keep reading about drip irrigation and it sounds so easy. I'm in North County San Diego and it's been so hot, that I definitely need help watering.
It is super easy to install, Nanette! I would be lost without my drip irrigation - saves me time and money. Let me know if you install a drip system in your containers or garden.Thaks for watching!
If I may I would recommend using the Rain Drip Universal Adapter (Smart Loc) couplers to join the 1/2" or 5/8" tubing instead of the compression connectors . The universal connectors are reusable and fit either 1/2" or 5/8" tubing. I have also never had a leak using them.
Hello Jeff -I have not had problems with the DIG connectors, but use what works for you! Glad you are using drip irrigation in your garden. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. It looks like a fairly easy setup. Love how it will make watering the container a easy job. Thank you for sharing such a great garden resource.
During summer time the sun light hit water hoses all day so the water inside of the water hose is HOT . How to avoid these hot water to feed my plants? I am like your water system but the HOT water pull me back. Do you have answer? Thanks
Is there an easy way to turn off water to one bag? If I was to harvest everything out of 1 bag. Can you just pull the 1/4 barb and put in a temp plug. Then pull the plug and put the 1/4 barb back in? Thanks :)
I have two zones on my timer. I already have one set up for my raised beds. Do I just repeat the same steps for the 2nd zone for the containers? i.e. filter, pressure regulator, etc.?
I was wondering why the filter was placed before pressure regulator. Will that filter attachment be able to handle water pressure from the city line without leakage?
Rosie, you will be so glad you did! As you can see - so easy to install, keeps the watering consistent - helping them to produce more for you. Plus a HUGE time saver! Let me know how it goes. Thanks for stopping by!
CaliKim, I enjoy your videos! This one, however, I got a bit of a giggle. You’re in ultimate casual clothes and have this glamorous hairstyle. That just made me giggle. I just thought that was so cute. Lol. What you do reminds me of me! Hahaha. I am bad for wearing “comfy clothes”, but I always wear an updo of some sort and I love me some bling barrettes! Lol. My husband doesn’t mind, so it’s all good; but I am aware I am not matching my hair to my attire at times. The only thing you were missing was some chandelier earrings and a dress and you’d be ready for a night out with your hubby! ;) I hope you don’t take offense, I am not meaning this comment as negative in any way. I just couldn’t help myself and had to comment, because I am glad to know I am not alone in doing that!!!! Hahahaha Thanks for the videos! Drip irrigation is new to me this year and I can’t wait to use it! I learned a lot with this.
I am giving this a try. I have felt intimidated by drip irrigation, but you guys made it look simple. I love your videos. I am in zone 8 Texas, but I am a California girl too.
It is super easy to install, Carmen - go for it! From one California girl to another - it really helps keep the garden alive and thrive in the heat! I would be lost without it. Let me know if you install a drip system in your containers or garden.Thanks for watching!
Glad you have found something works of you - by all means stick to what works for you. This is a huge time saver for me and I would be lost without it! Thanks for watching!
What about the different types of emitters, there's the line you use in the video but they also have bubblers, micro-sprayers, umbrella thingies etc...what is best for different plants? Thanks.
By the way, I love your videos. I have 525 sq feet of raised boxes and they are all over the yard. Would I use one long hose and punch into that one for each of the garden boxes? Also is your next video #6. I use drip hoses, but they spring leaks, really big leaks every 2-3 years and have to be replaced. How long would your hoses last?
Hello - glad you are loving the videos - hopefully they are helping you grow more of your own food. Yes, you can extend the 1/2" polytubing to each of your garden beds and punch our 1/4" line from there. It's just as easy to install in a raised bed, you can see how we did this in this video, ua-cam.com/video/rmRaMSQWEFY/v-deo.html. I've not had a problem with big leaks, and I've had my main garden drip system in for 4 -5 years. I do live in an area where we get little frost. If you liven a cold climate, its best to drain your hoses before you get a hard freeze to minimize damage to the hose. When you do get a leak, you can replace just the sections of the hose that leak. You don't have to pull out the whole thing. Yes, the next main video in the series is #6, Installing a Drip Irrigation Timer, very important to automate your system for consistant water, ua-cam.com/video/y5O3tdD1yxA/v-deo.html. Let me know how it goes!
Hi Kim i wish you lived in sydney australia. you could help me with gardening and i could meet you in person, i am so impressed with you and your presentation. regards from michael
yes, we punched a separate hole in the 1/2" polytubing, hooked in a a 1/4 " supply line (without emitters), ran that to the radishes, then connected a 1/4" drip emitter line, which we then circled around the soil in the container, as you saw on the video. Hope this helps!
Suggestion: really would appreciate it if Dig Corp would publish prices with each respective kit. Frustrating to look & then not find acquisition price with it.
Hello Charlene, sorry for the frustration. My apologies, this is an older video, and the links are not in the video description - just added them. Let me know if you install drip irrigation - It's a huge time and water saver! Many DIG products are available at Home Depot, some are on Amazon, here's they are to make it easy for you, DIG ML50 Raised Bed Kit: amzn.to/2iLOYwv, DIG EVO100 Waterproof Solar Timer: amzn.to/2jAPJbA, DIG C092 Two Dial Hose End Timer: amzn.to/2jc6P2X. DIG Plastic Screen Filter, D57A 155: amzn.to/2GbGw8I.
You haven't set up your drip irrigation yet, do it now. I did mine a year ago for my raised beds with two zone timer, now I can go on vacation for months and not worried about plants dying.
Couldn't agree more. Really frees up your time, gives you peace of mind while you are away and gives you lots of veggies to enjoy! Thanks for watching!
Hey Lindsay, glad you enjoyed the video, drip irrigation is a life saver! You can purchase the kit at Home Depot if you live near one. Here is a link to purchase on Amazon: amzn.to/2iLOYwv, solar timer: amzn.to/2jAPJbA, hose end timer: amzn.to/2jc6P2X, screen filter: amzn.to/2GbGw8I. Let me know if you install one, you'll love it! Thanks for watching!
Hi Kim! I saved and favorite this video to go back to to install in the spring. I found watering our garden this summer is bit time-consuming especially we have more veggies this year and looks like we will double our veggies next year. Received the fall seed collections and container seed collection I ordered and looking forward to getting your book soon.
Jerry Ebner It’s in the notes under the video if you’re watching on a computer or phone app. Click the little down arrow near the title. In any case it’s DIG Corp. I see their products are orderable from Hone Depot and some other stores.
Hello Bethany - of course you can use your hose if you like. I have found that having a drip irrigation system in my garden not only frees up my time to do other gardening tasks, but is the key to the plants getting the consistent water they need to be productive. Otherwise, I forget to water, or am not sticking to a consistent watering schedule and they just don't seem to produce as much. But certainly do what you prefer! Thanks for stopping by!
I think that came out wrong. I meant, if my hose is tied up with the drip irrigation system and I want to use my hose for something. do I have to undo it every time? that kind of made me laugh. I wasn't saying, dang it! I want to use my hose instead lol
+Bethany McGee ha ha , got it. You will want to purchase a splitter that screws on to your hose bib. You can then screw two hoses to the splitter one hose just for connecting to your drip irrigation system and one hose to use in the garden. Hope this makes sense!
Hello Grampysmurf - glad you enjoyed the vid! I've been happily married for 30 years - in fact my husband is the Camera Guy! I don't wear my ring when I garden since i am usually elbow deep in dirt and don't want to get it dirty. Are you installing drip irrigation ? Super easy, saves time, takes the guesswork out of it. Thanks for watching!
CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY thanks and yes I am going to install drip irrigation. Your husband is a lucky guy, I hope he was good to you Valentine's day lol. Tell him to spoil you rotten or you may decide to go smurffy lol. Happy growing

Would this system work with 18 65 gallon pots? Or what size pump would I need?
So glad i found this today, its 7 years old, hopefully digcorp is still in business. Thanks for this!!
Yep, they are still in business!!!! LMK!!! CaliKim

Wow!!!! Finally I know how they do this...doing it for my plants thank you.. so glad I found you this morning..lol💚🌳💚
3 years later, i'm finally ready to start a drip system! Thanks for the how to, and i'm ordering from DIG now!
I really like your gardening style and tips!! 👍
Thank you... that answered my questions about how to connect the soaker hoses and the additional 1/4" tubing to the main line. Again, thank you.

I need to get a system set up like this :) all thing in time :) Thanks for sharing :)
I love this for my garden beds. Would you recommend the same for my citrus trees and avocado?
My 2cents; I use drip for my dwarf container citruses.
Love it!!!
can you do multiple containers?
I run a 5/8" distribution line and then branch to my containers. I have them all set up the same so one timer waters the whole lot for me.
During summer time the sun light hit water hoses all day so the water inside of the water hose is HOT . How to avoid these hot water to feed my plants? I am like your water system but the HOT water pull me back. Do you have answer? Thanks
Hi CaliKim, How can I winterize the drip system and also grow food over snowy winter months in your bags? Thanks.

b
I use tricklers - good enough for me, and less hassle. About one per half square metre.
Glad you have found something works of you - by all means stick to what works for you. This is a huge time saver for me and I would be lost without it! Thanks for watching!
If you mulch your beds or containers should you put the drip line above the mulch or place it on the normal soil then mulch it?
Samuel Kerbo place it on the normal soil and then mulch over it. This way the water wont splash on the plant which woukd cause disease.
Do you have to remove your drip irrigation when temperatures drop below freezing?
Great Video!
What about the different types of emitters, there's the line you use in the video but they also have bubblers, micro-sprayers, umbrella thingies etc...what is best for different plants? Thanks.
This would be awesome for my containers. Sadly, I live in an apartment and do not have access to a hose or hose hook up
Jen Ro they have hoses that you can hook up to your sink.
or an adapter fitting that allows you to use any standard hose.
Jen Ro or you can just use a submersible pump with a half inch fitting and just have that on a timer
Thx so much for this video!

Hi Kim i wish you lived in sydney australia. you could help me with gardening and i could meet you in person, i am so impressed with you and your presentation. regards from michael
+Michael Rawnsley, Thanks! Would love to visit Australia someday- what are you growing in your garden this season? Thanks for watching!
How did you hook the line for the radishes. Did you go off the same hose from the 1st round bed?
yes, we punched a separate hole in the 1/2" polytubing, hooked in a a 1/4 " supply line (without emitters), ran that to the radishes, then connected a 1/4" drip emitter line, which we then circled around the soil in the container, as you saw on the video. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the info. I want to try this system.
Do these drip irritations connect so all can be watered with on faucet at the same time? Or Do I to buy multiple kits and have multiple faucets?
Great, I want to water 30, 5 gallon containers....
Do you have any coupon codes for the irrigation?
Suggestion: really would appreciate it if Dig Corp would publish prices with each respective kit. Frustrating to look & then not find acquisition price with it.

Great that 😎
Glad you enjoyed it, Dave! Do you plan to install drip system for your containers!
My problem is that I live in the city and have no where to connect a water hose.
Watering can, I suppose! Don't give up, you'll find a work around if you want it bad enough!
@@CaliKim29I'm wondering if a rain barrel will work for apartment dwellers, and then, how would the rain barrel get filled?😢
You haven't set up your drip irrigation yet, do it now. I did mine a year ago for my raised beds with two zone timer, now I can go on vacation for months and not worried about plants dying.
Couldn't agree more. Really frees up your time, gives you peace of mind while you are away and gives you lots of veggies to enjoy! Thanks for watching!

Lovely update thank you for sharing I will pm you
You are welcome, Linda! Thank you for stopping by!
What happens if I want to use my hose?!!!
Hello Bethany - of course you can use your hose if you like. I have found that having a drip irrigation system in my garden not only frees up my time to do other gardening tasks, but is the key to the plants getting the consistent water they need to be productive. Otherwise, I forget to water, or am not sticking to a consistent watering schedule and they just don't seem to produce as much. But certainly do what you prefer! Thanks for stopping by!
I think that came out wrong. I meant, if my hose is tied up with the drip irrigation system and I want to use my hose for something. do I have to undo it every time? that kind of made me laugh. I wasn't saying, dang it! I want to use my hose instead lol
+Bethany McGee ha ha , got it. You will want to purchase a splitter that screws on to your hose bib. You can then screw two hoses to the splitter one hose just for connecting to your drip irrigation system and one hose to use in the garden. Hope this makes sense!

How in hell do I get the little connectors in ends of the small tubing? I hav wiggled and pushed and used pliers and my damn teeth! Help!
I use a Clicker lighter, to loosen it up, then quickly wiggle in the connector! Let me know, Betty!
@@CaliKim29 thank you. I’ll try that

Thanks great video and you are very beautiful looking lady. So no ring on your finger does that mean you are available?
Hello Grampysmurf - glad you enjoyed the vid! I've been happily married for 30 years - in fact my husband is the Camera Guy! I don't wear my ring when I garden since i am usually elbow deep in dirt and don't want to get it dirty. Are you installing drip irrigation ? Super easy, saves time, takes the guesswork out of it. Thanks for watching!
CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY thanks and yes I am going to install drip irrigation. Your husband is a lucky guy, I hope he was good to you Valentine's day lol. Tell him to spoil you rotten or you may decide to go smurffy lol. Happy growing
