- Summer heat is coming and soon the GARDEN will need WATERING. Don't spend hours hand watering with a watering can, hose wand, or sprinkler. Try an awesome solution that is healthier for your plants...a drip tape irrigation system. It's SO MUCH easier than it seems. After we get that set up, we can START PLANTING!

***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 2 new videos every week! Tuesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

We as a family love to see you'll work in your garden and with your animals. Yes, plz take us along planting
I grew up in central California surrounded by olives and oranges. I understand drip irrigation and you are using probably the most effective watering system there is. its easy, quick and efficient. as always, another great video from the best channel on you tube. blessings
Your watering system is awesome and that auger on the drill is priceless!! You save so much time! You channel is the BEST! I’m 70 and I can’t do what you guys do but I share your channel and let people I know that have gardens... I share your information!!! Love you guys!! ❤️ God Bless!!!
You two are amazing and such an inspiration. I NEVER thought I would/could do some of the projects and things I am doing. It is all because of your incredible teaching skills and sweet disposition. I am up at 5am, make my coffee, excited for the day and it is all because I and get to watch the latest VLOG. Then start the day. A HUGE Thank you from my kids and I and Gods blessings!
Yes, yes, yes, please show more videos of planting the garden and your overall care of the garden as the season progresses. Love your channel too!!
Yes, please would love to see you plant the whole garden!!!
Yes please, keep showing what you’re growing and how you do it, gives others great incentive to garden.
Yes, yes, yes please show all the planting. Thank you. God bless🌻🌱🍅
Of course, show us all your planting. I will never have what all you have planted. But we enjoy what we do plant. Thank you and nay God Bless you and yours..
I'm like, "oh no, I need to see everything else planted." My hopes are that will be tomorrows video. Thank you both and bless you!
YES! I'd love to see everything you're planting... your happiness and knowledge makes the day a little bit brighter😁 God bless you both and your beautiful daughters.
Yes! I want to see your garden planting. 👍😊 thanks for bringing us along.
Yes, I would like to see what else you plant, please!
I got one of those augers for Christmas. Made this spring SO much easier.
I want to try an auger this year. It will make planting so easy. I have never thought of using one. What size did you get?
anita house what size auger did you get?
Yes, we want to see the entire planting! Love the setup. I'll be using many of these ideas in our garden. Really appreciate you guys!
I planted our 30 tomato plants along with some herbs yesterday. We’re doing hugel gardening with logs, leaves we saved in the fall , old hay and straw then soil and compost on top. I got 64 pumpkins out of 9 seeds last year doing this method.
Our aged compost has chicken manure - like gold I say. Happy planting everyone. Putting seeds in today. Happy Memorial Day too.
Can’t wait to see what all you are planting in your garden this year. I have followed your videos for several years now. Love it
You guys are awesome God bless
Another great video.. Still love to see that you guys work so good together as a team to accomplish a goal. You get so much more done in one day as a team. Thanks for the great info about using the water tape didn't look that difficult to put in either.
Super Kevin and Sarah, you two are amazing hard workers and very intelligent, thanks for explaining the whole process to all of us.
We bought a similar irrigation system for our garden (300 sq ft plantable) last year: it is life-changing! Wish we’d done it sooner.
I realize I am a total LT addict this morning, even though I’m not a farmer: I watched you putting in your first tomatoes and “told” you to put in some of your secret ingredient - rabbit manure!!! Congratulations and best wishes for this new season. JDBurns
Joanne Burns me too love the all the tips will be having having a change in our gardening ways this year.
Same here.
Of course we want to see what you plant 😊😉
Huge answer to my many comments on a your garden videos. Thanks guys!
I love your gardening videos. Please take us along!
Yes, I want to see what all you’re growing! Seems like you have got everything dialed in and your system with all the parts and setup in place now. It’s going to make the rest so much easier.
You guys are amazing! I love watching your thoughtful plan unfold, ensuring a bounty of produce for your family.
Last year, or the year before, Kevin and Sarah did a video about how they plan their garden and time throughout the year. Building in things like processing meats, garden planting, etc. It's quite elaborate but saves them so much time the following year. It's quite a good video for those who have trouble planning things, or figuring things out.
@@motherofone1 Thanks for that. I'll look into the video. But I repeat....they are amazing!!
WOW!!! You guys are amazing. Not only are you intellectual but extremely talented and very neat. You constantly amaze me. This is a work of art garden. I can’t wait to watch the harvest growing. God bless all of you and give you strength. Such fine examples of lovely people.
I just love how organized y’all are. Love your videos.
Drip irrigation is the best thing I've done in my garden. Cuts down on weeds also.
I Love watching your chanel. I learn so much. Like I learned I should have pruned the bottom leaves and planted my tomatoes deeper. Oh well, there is always next year :) Thank you for being such a great source of inspiring information.
Yes I would Love to see what else you are planting.
This is my first year trying to grow a years worth of food. So it is wonderful getting all the great little tricks and tips.
Take care and keep smiling :)
Yes, please show us your garden planting. Love watching you guys!!❤
Thank you for showing us all of your planting. Take care and thank you for your energy and smiles.
love the planting auger, they should make a long one so you stand and drill.
We can get long ones where I live, maybe do a bit of google to see if you can find a long one that will ship to you?
I have a long one and a short one. They are out there.
The screw-type cap at the far end of the main pipe is there so you can drain all water out of the pipe to prevent freezing.
No, it's so the system builds up water pressure to move h2o through the drip tape.
Thanks for the info! It serves 2 things?
Three actually.......if you’re not using mains water and there is fine silt or organic matter in your water it’s a good idea to flush the system out periodically before it bungs up completely.......fine silts can pass through the normal filter meshes ..... very fine filters will reduce the flow and pressure.......maybe too much!!!!!
I don't want to miss a thing! Please film all your planting. I've learned so many new things from you. At first, it looks like so much work, but I can sure see why a little effort in the beginning saves a ton of time and work in the end! God bless you and your family. 💕
Good Morning and thanks!
I need that bit for next year. Hand dug 100 tomato plant holes and 50 green pepper plants.
You will not regret it, such a time and back saver
Cool video, keep up the great content, so happy I found your channel! from a smaller gardening channel 😀👍😀👍
Seeing you plant is as exciting to me as it is for you guys. Please share all your planting with us!
This is the first drip irrigation video I've watched (and I've watched several over the 3yrs of gardening!) that made me feel like I could do it! I'd accepted the fact that I'd be watering by hand, forever 😅. This was so simple and plain! Doing it!!! 🙌🏿 thank you!
I was just thinking the other day that maybe we wouldn’t have as many weed in our garden if we weren’t using sprinklers. Was thinking we needed to get drip hoses. Never knew they made drip tape like this!
Our garden will be completely transformed next year!
Oh and that auger is genious!!!!
Thanks for sharing what you have learned with our family!
It was developed as one time use on large scale operations and they buried it. But of corse it gained popularity with home gardens and homesteaders and if you take care of it you can use it a few years.
@@jimmieburleigh9549 I really hope people start to reuse these products; so much waste,
Used coffee grounds also make a great soil treatment at planting time, especially for these tropical/jungle plants that come from high-organic acid soils, trying to make it in clay ground. Just mix some spent grounds with your backfill, and it will also draw in more worms & subsurface symbiotes to enrich the soil. If you compost, mix the grounds through that as well. Everybody loves coffee :)
I had ONE question and you answered it. Drip irrigation on to our bottom. Thank you!!
Yes, I want to see what your planting. You guys opened my eyes on how to self sustain our selves. Thank you again. God Bless you guys.
My garden goals right here once I actually have a yard..😂
I have the yard and am behind but have a grow light in the house to feed my obsession! Lol. But this weekend is our plant out. Crossing fingers no more snow for us lol.
Container garden!
Lol
“Its me again Margrett” in my Ray Stevens voice! We were getting ready to get an irrigation system put in by digging trenches with valves (back breaking) then y’all put this video up and I sent to my husband and his reply was “ this family is my hero”!!! Xoxoxo
Yes please. Would love to watch you plant everything!❤️❤️❤️
Love it all. Show us everything. You two are so nice, fun, down to earth. You take me away from the terrible time that’s going on now. Thank you.
Once again another good vid, did notice the new gloves lol, I thought it was time for the old gloves to retire lol.
Lol I totally noticed the new gloves as well.
LOL I noticed too!
Your homestead is set up in an excellent manner. I would be interested in knowing what your yearly costs is to raise your own meat, dairy, fruit and vegetables. I would also be interested in what your yearly expenses are for the items you can not raise yourself.
YES! YES! YES! I want to see all the garden related videos! It's my favorite thing that you guys do. Sending good thoughts that EVERYTHING produces abundance!
I learn so much from you two. I am not a farmer, I just have 2 raised beds and one huge in ground. I will be using a lot of your tricks to improve my gardens. I am addicted to your channel. I watch it every morning while I am having my coffee. Happy farming. God Bless.
Glad you have started planting. I’ll be happy to eat that first tomato and my first bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. Yummy
Where do you buy woven fiber for weed free gardening
Perfect timing. I just ordered my drip irrigation system like 2 days ago. Seriously how did you guys know!😂. Anyway, glad you mentioned about the end clips for the drip tape because I don't think mine came with any.
I save money on end clips by just cutting a 1 inch piece of the tape then when you fold the ends up I squeeze them together and slide the piece of drip tape over the end. Works perfectly.
Yes, would love to see you plant each variety...giving spacing, also.💚
YES PLEASE!! SHOW US WHAT ELSE YOU'RE PLANTING! I love the way you show each step of the planting process. Teaches us so much! God bless you, your family and your garden! Much love from here in West Virginia.
When I get ready to plant my tomatoes I clip all those lower leaves off all plants at once, so I don't have to fiddle with each individual plant in the garden. I also clip them off with scissors, so as to avoid damaging the main stem in any way. I do all my suckers the same way ... with scissors. I also cut off my peppers, tomatoes etc instead of twisting/breaking them off the plant. Of course I can choose to do it that way because I don't have as many plants as you do. I think it is much easier to clip off beans/cucumbers etc and not fight with the plant to remove them. I see so many people struggling with removing beans/peppers etc, that I can't believe they aren't just snipping them off. YMMV ... you've got it down to a system. Although I enjoy the whole gardening process, I do try to streamline some of the smaller steps along the way. Take care you guys.
Always awesome, looks great as usual. Every year your garden is lush and full. Are you guys doing the melon patch this year? Mmm... fresh melon 😍. Not really a basic but... can you resist?
Yes we are!
Yes, I want to see more planting. THANKS for all your hard work!
Yes, please share more of your garden process! I’ve never used a drip system and that’s something I want to try. Thanks for sharing. God bless !
I have never heard of using trellises for tomato plants. I'm interested to see how they grow with that instead of tomato cages. Also, just received your rabbit recipe book today and I am excited to try some of those recipes.
I'm trying Jetstar this year. Can't wait to taste them. The garden is coming along wonderfully. Where did you purchase the drip irrigation from?
Where do you get the jet star ? Are they started by seed beds you’ve planted yourself or are you ordering seedlings?
@@karenwilliams2315 most local green houses carry the jet star.
Yes please take us along to show us what all you are planting. I really enjoy watching and am grateful for you both taking the time to explain how things work.
Good morning I love your videos. Please post more back to basics
Got some fabric to try this year. Thanks for sharing. Happy planting
Because I got the idea from watching your videos, most of the raised bed garden boxes have weed barrier down this year. Just today, planted okra after burning holes in the barrier. It's a blessing to not have to worry about weeds. Next project is to look at ideas to lower the labor and time to water.
Love seeing the different ways to set up a garden. Looking forward to watching your progress and seeing what kinds and how you plant them.
please share everything you put in ur garden. I enjoy learning from gardeners. Do not have one, but growing in containers soon from seeds. Grew up in Sacramento, CA. And grew my first corn at 11 years old. Like 20 plants. Have the gardening bug since then. And love gardens.. I do like your show alot. Thanks, keep this informative program going.
Show us everything you plant. I'm putting in a garden this year (been three years) in zone 5 and watching you plant is a great motivation and encouragement.
Yes, please show us more planting!!!
I want to see everything you plant..
Take us along! We love seeing you guys!
Love the way you water the garden. I'm going to get it for my garden. It will save me soooooo much time. Thank you.
Yes I love to see you planting and what you plant. God bless
Yes, please!! I love learning about gardening from you guys!... keep the videos coming ❤️
Can't wait to see the things you are able to preserve!
I put my drip irrigation in on Saturday for the first time ever, and the process was easier that I expected. Will definitely keep doing this in the future.
The most organized and most neat Homestead I have ever seen on UA-cam.....You both have excellent Teamwork as a couple in your Homestead.....Love watching you every single day!
Yes, we do want to see what all you are planting this year! I love your system, it is perfect! Thank you both for all the interesting, fun videos!
Yes, please do show us the planting of all of your garden! Love this!
Yes, please take us along on the rest of your planting. Thanks for being detail oriented on showing your drip tape installation. Always wanted to see it done. Planning to try drip tape next year and your ground covering. I think both will help our garden to produce more!! And that's the name of the game. Thanks
Of course we want to see what else you are planting. God bless you all!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing this. All the way from Philippines
Appreciate how thorough you are good communication
I love seeing everything you are planting! Garden videos and plant reviews are some of my favorite videos of yours!
I would love to watch you all plant your garden. You two are inspiring! It feels good to watch and learn how you set your beautiful homestead. Thank you for the vidoes!!
Yes! Please show us all your plants! I so enjoy your videos and ideas. I often share your videos on my Facebook page! God bless!
Drip irrigation on timers has really improved my garden yields and made my life so much easier.
Yes, I’d love to see more of your planting techniques. Thanks for sharing 💜
This year I have ditched my tomato cages, and went the field fence like you all, with a little test run last year with 6 plants I found it so much better.
Can’t wait to see what you’re planting this year! Love all your videos. You have been a blessing in my life. Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge and love!
Yes please show everything you're planting! Love to see how it's done!
I would love to see more planting videos! Your garden set up is awesome! Keep up the great work!
Yes,yes,yes!!! Of course we want to see you plant the garden!!! Love it! Thanks for all of your videos.
This came at a perfect time just about to do my raised beds. Stay safe and God Bless
You bet I want to see you plant your entire summer garden. I learn so much from you both. I used a jar of canned chicken to make chicken spaghetti. It was delicious!! God bless you both!
One important thing to note is these low pressure systems operate at around 20 psi so you will need a pressure reducer for the system if you are running it off of your home or street pressure which can run anywhere from 60 -100 psi. That would blow these fittings off :) . Nice video!
That is correct. We reduce ours down to 15psi
Of course we want to see what and how you plant all of the garden! You’re doing a great job. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
I enjoy the instructions you give as you do each step of your garden.
I just love your garden videos. I would really enjoy seeing a weekly update on the garden all the way thru harvest. Keep the great videos coming.
Really great explanation of how to install the drip irrigation. It makes it look very easy to do.
