I have loved watching and learning over the past year or so. But this time I just sat back and smiled. My wife is a flower nut, and I've installed drip irrigation for five years. In Minnesota of course, it needs to dismantled and installed again each spring. I'm just finishing up a multi-timer system that waters 120 pots, and has over 100 feet of ground drip line.
Love what you do!
That rain collection tank is a good investment. Arrived here outside of Fort Worth after dark on new year's day from southern California. Wow, you have rain, seems a waste not to harvest it. Thanks for the video. That will give you peace of when you're on the road.
Just love the giddy look on your face when a plan comes together 😃.
I’ve done a similar system previously on my uk allotment where no power or mains water existed. This was a low pressure system using a collection barrel placed on a stand to give some height and pressure for the water to run through the drip system - worked a treat!
I have my own mini garden in the middle of town, and my Grandfather has been a woodworker all his life with his own workshop on his property. I started my own alternative woodworking business from his workshop, and after I found your channel I have gotten obsessed(tho we do make different things :P)! Watching all your videos, sometimes several times :P You might be my my super'heroine'! Hoping to someday come se your new workshop!! Thank you for all the amazing tips you give us :)
Yes gearing up for seminars and classes!
I just installed a system like this for my Fruit trees.
Happy Sunday April!
Looks good! As a professional landscaper, sometimes when its warm out the tubing gets soft and the punch doesn't always punch thru. It works best to turn on the water, therefore you have pressure pushing out and the punch goes thru much easier. And yes you'll get a little WET!
Keep up the great work that you do!
That a great tip Lenny, thanks :)
Thanks for the tips!
It's a simple solution, but not obvious. Thanks for the tip.
Your timing couldn’t be better. I just finished planting my garden (Michigan Zone 6a) this weekend and I was looking for a self watering guide. Another great build, April!
April, Awesome Garden. I got my Decimal Chart and I love it, Thanks.
Thank you so much for your input on setting up your self watering system I am so grateful I need to get this done at my home
Filter and reduce the water pressure, the key to success and last forever dripping system, Well done April.
Great process. You make it look easy! Good process your using for gathering and processing the rain water for your garden. Enjoy! Mike
We installed a drip system in our beds a couple weeks ago and has made a huge difference..
I couldn't say what was this all about, but it is too relaxing to listen to April as she's doing her thing. Regards.
you need to apply mulch it will aid in surface evaporation loss and help retain moisture in the soil. It appears you have infiltration issues because of the water ponding on the surface, so the incorporation of compost mixed into the soil over the journey will help. Love the vids.
This. Good mulch saves water loss from evaporation and _really_ helps with weed control.
Your garden looks amazing April.
Thinking that a plastic utility sink with side shelf might be a welcome addition to the outdoor garden hooked into the water for hand washing and vegetable and fruit prep . With a gravel base or bin underneath for drainage for water catchment to recycle used rinse water
You never fail to amaze me with your projects another great video stay safe
Good to see you smiling again it’s been awhile 🙂 I’d thought you would have the butler watering the garden 😉 Irrigation saves time saves water saves money it’s the efficient way of keeping things watered.
Good job April 👍👍. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
Thank you for an excellent instructions on drip irrigation, truly like that you mentioned rain water use.
Friendly info... Rain water = distilled water = devoid of minerals. This can cause you issues with soil pH since you are in a container garden (not in the ground). Over time the water will leach your soil of minerals causing the pH to suffer in one direction. Just keep it in mind and be sure you get worms and your own compost with lots of egg shells (suggest looking into no till principles) .... Videos are great! And your content is amazing! Can't wait to see how your harvest goes!
@@zoomzoom14 Wow, that is something that is important to know.
It looks great as does your veggies. Take care and stay safe.
My family loves your channel you have great and detailed instructions on how to do something and always have the comments and where to get it below. 😍😍😊
I like what you doing,april!i watch everytime on your videos!keep going!you are the best!with love from ROMANIA!💪😘
I just planted my garden 😁 great vid April 😍😄👍
Great work, thanks for taking the time and sharing.
Hi April great video I built a planter box which I am planting some microgreens in
your projects are so cool they always give me tips thanks!!!!
Really, really interesting! 😃
Thanks for all the tips!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks! 😃
April you have a beautiful garden. I want to install a garden but the township doesn't allow them.
Keep the great videos coming.
Thanks for sharing and God bless
Simply Amazing nice job keep up the good work
Dear sister i am very impress of your working style realy your technic is very wonderful i am a civil and interior contractor from mumbai i salut you thanks
Love watching your videos.
Your videos are so awsome. And informative. Thank you so much
Great project, I've learned it's better to connect the filter before the timer. The timing systems have narrow water passages that can be clogged by send that flow inside the water.
Great job with everything, love the videos.
And now April is gardening , what she can't do 😁? Nobel Price ?👍👍👍
Anne was mentioning your name- she's home in Tennessee, making up with a bunch of Nashville area makers. The Wood Shed was fab- another year of growth and endeavor. KOKO!
It's a great idea! I always wanted to make such a useful system!
Thank you! Easy to follow instructions!
garden is looking awesome APRIL
You can further reduce evaporation by wrapping the punctured tubes in felt (synthetic, not woolen), burying them under an inch or so of soil, with the upper part covered with some plastic sheet, maybe 4-5 inches wide - also buried. The felt prevents the holes from getting clogged. Water is released only into the soil, diffuses only downwards, due to the plastic cover, and never reaches the surface.
Besides reducing evaporation, this also greatly helps with weeds - weeds need the top layer of soil to be at leas slightly moist to sprout, and with this system there's a thin layer of soil at the top which is dry all the time.
An even more economic system was developed in Australia, where they pad the bottom of the beds with felt, and put the punctured hoses between two layers of felt. This way, water only diffuses upwards. They did this out of necessity - in some regions, water is extremely scarce, and becomes scarcer every year.
One more thing: your soil seems in need for more added organic matter - it doesn't let water through fast enough, it seems. You can chop up the stems and what won't be harvested from the plants and mix it into the soil. In time, this will improve it.
Good morning this is a great system
Great project! I put some sprayers for my chickens to run in, my chickens are a little nuts! Be safe! Beach, N C
Soil doesn’t look too hot for a garden looks very Sandy
Respect from Egypt April ❤️
So helpful, thanks.
This is a nice system as well but it gave me an idea for the misting system I want to do with my wifes greenhouse for her cactus and succulents later next year. Thanks !
I love the googly eyes on the corn!!!!
Haha me too
Good job and practice. A greeting.
Wonderful 😊 with the rooster in the background this looked a lot like playing hay day or big little farmer on an ipad. Hey April, consider using a wind filter for your microphone.
What a sweetie. You are one amazing and talented woman. I enjoy all of your videos. 👍👍👍👍👍
GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU AND AS YOUR PLANTS GET BIGGER THEY WILL NEED MORE WATER ALSO
Very kool April well done
Excellent. Thank you!
3:49 love the little eyes on the plant ahahah
Me encantan tus vídeos y tus proyectos saludos desde México.
Great working 👌👌
April nicely done. Given your climate I would suggest mulching the garden some (a quick read down and I see others say the same), help with sun exposure evaporation. Sun netting given the set up you have, would be very easy to install. These would reduce the need for watering. I would also suggest looking into the many varieties of millet that would do well here (there are a number of papers written on them from Texas and New Mexico universities), they would require less irrigation and would provide shade coverage in mixed planting beds (not to mention millet is a good dietary cereal grain for both people and their vegetarian live stock).
I’m modelling my garden after this except I’m having 2 beds on each side for a total of 14 perimeter beds. I’ll add two beds in the centre and install a 16 zone sprinkler controller so I have independent control of watering in each bed. Great garden, can’t wait to get mine finished. Thanks for the ideas!
Really What It's All About that’s a really expensive way to go about it just do them all on one or 2 zones and then put an individual ball valve at each bed
Another tip I use because I am lazy: Take the roll of 1/4 inch tubing and lay it out in a straight line three days in advance. That way the sun can heat it and soften it so it does not curl when you want it to go straight. The larger hose does the same thing but I use the anchors to hold it to more solid surfaces and the ground.
I love your videos
Fine Video again! Not a small Garden for sure! How do You manage it all? All is always so perfect and well explained! You should come to Australia and make my place so. I am learning new from You every day!
Good job...

Would love to see a garden update!!
Just planted for the spring! It's doing great!
Love your Videos April :-)
I love nature
I use the drip hose for my lettuce and onion type plants but for my tomatoes and pepper type plants I use the Drip Irrigation Emitters. Using emitters you can deliver the water near the base of the plant. These emitters are rated by gallons per hour and you can get 1/2 gallon, 1 gallon, or 2 gallon per hour emitters.
love it
It's a nice job.
I am a follower and I like yours a lot
Love the vids
Great job but I like to hand water with a wand. I have different nozzles for different needs. I have extended spigots all over and roll a small hose reel to each bed. This forces me to slow down, pay attention, and actually look at my plants, noticing any problems early, pull weeds and bugs and just generally fuss over the garden which I find very pleasant and effective. There's a thousand ways to skin every cat... :) I love the rainwater catchment idea. Must do that...........
I’d love to see how you got water and power to your garden. Wonder if they’re are any solar drip irrigation systems instead of power?!
Looks great!Hope that squash casserole was good.Memorial day mention

you should look up square foot gardening to greatly increase your harvest with all that space you have.
Yo April! Re: teflon tape-Your wrapping tip is correct. However, if you wrap placing the outside of the tape roll against the threads you will get a neater, tighter wrap, and you wont slip off (as you show) and have to start again. Give it a try, yo will see what I mean.
Perfect timing April, just finishing our fence on ours. Really steller presentation here and videography! How many rooster sounds did you have to edit out ? 😅
BRAVO APRIL👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👍❤❤❤
Tudo lindo
Hey April another great video! Maybe I missed it but could you add a link for the individual valves you used on each line? Thanks!
awesome
April. Beautiful gardening project. When did you first become interested in carpentry and construction? Mauricio from Brazil
We prefer drip emitters rather than the perforated hose. You have much more control over placement and have nearly unlimited options for drippers , sprayers, and different flow rates of each and can even change them out each year or plug them. In the Seattle area, we do 15 minutes per morning. 1hr per morning would flood our yard (remember April lives in Texas!)
I had half inch drip hose irrigation system buried in my front yard for about 15 years - before I got rid it. In those years, it leaked about 10 to 15 times. Annoying, and a pain in the butt to fix sometimes.
However, in the 23 years that I've lived in my house in AZ, the quarter inch tubing and PVC pipes never ever leaked.
FYI
I want to do this with a gravity fed drip system from a barrel, no water pipes involved, you can add compost tea or other nutrients straight to the barrel.
#STAYSAFE
I would put the filter / strainer before the valve so that it wont wear out and stop sealing as well if you have grit in your water.
Thanks! what is the timer you used? I didn't see that in your linked list. Thanks.
Hello April ... I'm curious to see how your garden develops. Greetings from near Dortmund, Germany
Abril, eu sou seu fã incondicional, acompanho todos os seus trabalhos...eu te adoro menina... Paulo Amaral
Ela é incrivel. Por mais mulheres como ela.
Saludos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My mom just retired and is looking for a part time job. I'm trying to convince her to let me build something like your garden, and start a small farm with me 😂
Hey Mike, let me tell you something about how it makes ME feel when I read a post like yours. On this past Saturday, I lost my mom 6 months back. She was 92 but I had somehow talked myself into believing that she would live to 200 and be here for MY entire life whatever that would be. So, I just read what you are wanting to do and I am applauding you with a standing ovation. Trust me when I tell you that whatever it is you do with your mom at this stage and into her 4th quarter of life, you will not regret and you will be forever in YOUR life grateful to yourself for having spent this time with her.PLEASE go through with this idea and don't put it on a back burner. Life is so very short and can end tomorrow so look at every minute you spend with her as a gift from God. I would give anything to just hold my mom one more time, to just be able to tell her while she is still here one more time, I love you Mom. Don't waste another second. Sorry for the long-winded purge but it's important.
Mulch your beds to minimize evaporation and weeds!
I have found that if you water before midnight while the heat is disapating from the soil, it will absorb into the soil much longer before sunrise. There should be a bit better economy of water that way, and the deeper absorb will make the water well down from the sun's heat during the day. That will encourage the plant roots to go deeper and make them less susseptible to surface dryness.
You should put mulch in your beds keeps the beds moisted and control the weeds.
April if you put some type of mulch on your beds it will hold in the moister and keep the sun from drying the dirt up. Just saying.
Hi April, I didn't see the watering timer listed in the parts you used, in the video description. Can you specify what you used for your intake mechanism? Thanks.
what do you not know how to do?you are an inspiration to young ladies everywhere.damn your good
Looks VERY good and any idea what your total material investment is in your garden?
Few people apply Teflon tape the easy way: Hold your item in your left hand and apply the tape not from the bottom side, like it was masking tape, but the top side with your right... Hold it on the threads with your thumb and spin the tape cartridge clockwise till you're happy. Do this right and its the least clumsy way of doing it. Even if you need to adjust my directions, the key is using the top of the tape rather than the bottom.....carry on.
Hi AW, WHAT TIMER DO YOU USE? I am a senior and can't master difficult timers. I yours battery or solar. I am a FAN of your shows, they are so great!
Thank You!
