Your garden is looking wonderful 😊 Great idea for the drip irrigation, I was thinking of doing that with my raised bed garden out in my Courtyard but I think it's more personal hand watering the plants! Happy gardening my friend 💚🌱☺️
Okay so I just impulsively bought the Carpathan. It's kind impulsively strategic bc I know if I start researching this extensively I'll feel frozen and never do anything. So 🤞🤞🤞
I so need to do this, we have irrigation system so my plants in ground get watered but my potted plants are being hand watered, but with vacation coming up it would allow me the peace of mind to leave and ensure that the plants get watered. I wonder if I can attach it to the sprinkler system versus doing it from the water spigot? I have some research to do! Thanks as always great video!
How do you take care of fertilization while on the drip? I'm assuming that with liquid or water soluble fertilizers, you would just use a watering can and not irrigate on that day? And with slow-release or granular fertilizers, is the drip able to "pull in" the fertilizer from the top of the soil (as heavy dousing with a watering can would)?
Spot on with the liquid fertilizer! I just skip irrigation that day and use a watering can. For granular fertilizer, I like to use that when I know it’s going to rain. I think the carpathan system would pull in the fertilizer but not the drip since it’s so targeted.
@@ChicagoGardener Make sense. One more question. How do you know how long to run the drip for? With hand watering, you keep pouring until water runs out the bottom. I'm assuming that with drip you never let it get saturated to the point of water pouring out.
Drip systems are also super helpful for consistent watering throughout the day which many plants love. Especially in containers because they can dry out so fast. 🙂
The main benefit of drip for me is I can go out of town and my garden still gets watered, but even if I didn’t, watering with a watering can would take at least a half hour to an hour, time I can be doing other things like pruning or planting. I promise, if you get a drip system, no matter how small your garden, you’ll never go back.
@@ChicagoGardener so true, as much as I enjoy my newly garden area, With my inconsistent work schedule, I can forget to water. I stumbled across your channel and enjoying it, in fact Im going to redo my mainline system with those 4-way 1/4' connectors.that you introduced me to. Thanks for the tips.

That’s exactly what happens to me! I have to just get something or else I’ll never do it 🤣

It’s such a relief when we’re gone, even for just a few days!

Where do you purchase your T bars and tubings. Can I get these at any garden store
I got the proven winners kit on their website and carpathen on Amazon. I know Home Depot also has a variety of drip kits too!
Good job!
Thank you!!
Buenos dias
You really need a drip system here. just one swipe with a watering can and you have watered for the day. I smell laziness 😆😆😆
