I have been looking for a solution to my house problem. My garden requires 100ft of hose from house to garden. Such a pain! I can get one of these, run a 50ft hose to it and no longer wrestle with the hose when I need to put it away!
@epicgardening it looks like the water is running down your hand. Are ALL wands leaky? I'm about to order Ray Bradbury s wand or whatever you sponsored in your other waterin vidja.

Prepping for hurricane here in Houston. Glad I did a container garden like yours. I moved a lot of plants into my indoor grow room to protect them. 🙂 Thanks for the great videos!
Good luck with that. 🙏🏻 We had some real bad wind and rain the last two days in Wales 🏴 and some of my plants got battered. Luckily most of them survived.
@Jennifer- Hey! May I ask if you've ever planed Sugar Snap Peas? I'm in Houston, too, and have found conflicting information about when to plant them. A couple calendars said Sept 19, one said Oct 8, and a local woman on the news says she does hers over the winter here in like Dec-Feb. I don't know! I'm not from Houston and the weather is wigging me out.
Best gardening decision I ever made was putting my drip irrigation on an automatic timer. It’s really adjustable for the season and plants’ needs, and it waters for me, without me needing to thinking about it or even needing to be home. It’s let me travel, sleep in, forget, and recover from gardening fatigue without sacrificing my plants. Without a doubt, best $30 I’ve ever spent.
I installed a hoselink on by back tap about 10 years ago..., I was that happy with it I have now installed them on all of my taps on my own hose and our rental property. Just sooooo easy to keep everything tidy and as an added bonus extends the life of the hose by not being run over or left in the elements.
I live in Australia, I am trying to grow vegetables in fabric pots, but I have a hard time with the lack of sun because of the house shading the backyard so I am always chasing the sun by moving my pots from the back to the front, if I move my plants I think they are getting around 5 hours of sun if I'm lucky. I am worried that the plants are not going to get enough sunshine to grow properly. This is in winter, so it will change more in Summer I hope. I am always learning from your show and I have purchased your book. I am also growing seeds inside with heat pads and plant light as well they are growing well.
Last year I felt bad to water the garden because I didn’t want to make a huge water bill, I just remembered I live next to a river and tap water is cheap and available, I can’t wait for this summer because I’m gonna show my plants true loooove.
Here's a watering question...when/how would you ever be able to leave your property for vacation or to visit family/friends?! I know people do it all the time, but how would you specifically do it?
Mulch helps in keeping the soil moist longer. You can create a bit more shade. But if you don't have an automatic system, and you happen to leave in a heat wave, you will need family/friends to water your plants.
I've been debating the Hoselink investment for a while, so thanks for sharing (and this Aussie proud to see another Aussie invention, I believe!). Got to you via Self Sufficient Me, and bought Birdies beds x 2, so now it's time to get a proper garden hose. We've had 2 years of drought here, so water efficiency has been a high priority, and I've nearly lost a few plants because I wasn't on the ball. Definitely going to get a drip system installed, to see if I can prevent that next drought. So thanks for a fantastic episode :-)
My garden sign just arrived in the mail! ROMAST Farms is slowly (oh so slowly) coming to life. (ROMAST is what my dad always called his gardens - RObert, MAry, STeve - and is my small way of honoring him as I develop my own garden and vision). Thanks to the person that gifted yours or I probably would never have seen it!
lol i dont think i ever run out of videos of yours to watch! been binge watching the last few days and was binge watching when this came out xD endless gardening videos gives me sooo much serotonin
Was that a durian and dragon fruit shirt you had on? Awesome! :) Thanks for the watering tips. I'm new to gardening and sad to say that I need to consciously get on top of watering my plants. Watering early in the day works for me. I check the soil by sticking my finger in it and water my container plants if they need it. I also employ your "water, wait and water" technique.
Hi Kevin I'm from the United Kingdom and a new subscriber you have a great channel and I like how well you explain everything what you're doing i find it really easy to follow can't wait to look at the rest of your channel
Thank you! New be; and our soil had a freak accident from a company that makes chemicals; something in and around company blew up and now 10 years later starting to get better. We have put horses on manue on it; flerizer over the years and so on. But we also deal with flooded area from standing or clogged drains from rail road down the road. Always something.
Listen. This is my first time gardening. Started a little late-planted mid July and it’s been a learning experience. But now I’m that person. I’ve fallen in love with my plants. They’re like my children. And now, this man and his knowledge/ love for his plants is sexy lol. Now I follow him on Instagram, and am subscribed here. Every video I see makes me like him more. 😆 Aaaattractive.
I don't need a hose link. Those metal-coated hoses are the best thing I've ever come across. We've run over them with tractors, trucks, had the livestock smash them into the ground; they're still kicking ass and taking names. 0 kinks, 0 issues. We've had them about 3 years now. Never had to replace. I love'em.
I have horrible neck pain and neuropathy and had no idea water wands existed. It's my first year gardening. Im going to buy one. My neck says thank you!
I found your channel today and am so glad I did. I subscribed. Your voice and style left me feeling more knowledgeable and also relaxed. I needed this destress yet super intelligent video today. 💚
Love the video and content, another tip for container gardens is to judge based upon the weight of the container. You can feel when its lite and thirsty or when its heavy and can go a lil longer prior to watering
I water my entire garden at around 6am . I have 6 kids, including my 3 month old AND my 2 year old, and if I want to get anything done outside, I need to wake up while everyone in the house is snoring😴. I also water everything with a regular cheap hose (not too happy about it) 😒. I hope to invest in drip line next season. The grass clippings are my lifesavers! 🤗They retain the moisture well and make my watering duties a little easier considering that in my zone 8b the temps are at 98F by 9am!!!😳
Got something like the hoselink for 15 meters (45 feet) and its the best investment ever, I absolutely love it! No more rolling up a hose when it got a bit wet and gets dirt all over your hands etc. Though mine pulls a bit harder once it retracts lol. For city/rainwater it depends on what you get, rainwater lacks minerals while city water usually doesn't, my home for example gets its water from a nearby dam so we get untreated and relatively soft water, which is great for both aquariums and the garden but if you are unsure about which one you might get either call your water supplier or go to the local fish store and get your water tested (usually for free)! But as always, try to catch as much rainwater (if it's legal in your area) in barrels as you can, I still have to set a couple up but damn, 300 liters (80 gallons) are gone quickly with 3 beds...
@@jennhoff03 just remove the top of the barrel and dip your watering can in and water with that lol. Some of the barrels have to be elevated about 30-40cm/ 1 foot 4 in because they have a little valve at the bottom, put the can under there and just open the valve... You basically just use it like any other water
I have that retractable hose. I like the way you mounted it high. We mounted it near our outdoor faucet low and it's behind a couple of pots. It's a real pain to maneuver around so I would suggest anyone who gets one mount it high so it would be over most potential obstacles.
I noticed a difference in my plants once I put an in-line chlorine filter on my hose I use for watering. Our county water has so much chlorine that it normally smells like pool water without the filter. 🤢
Don't worry; my mother's dog will sit and await orders if she hears the sound of a baby crying in the background on television or any other source. Y'all have good dogs, too. :)
Will you be able to collect rainwater off your roofs throughout the year? I currently collect with about a 700 gallon capacity and am taking a serious look at adding a 1200 gallon tank with a more complete guttering system on the house. The greenhouse collects and holds its own water for the year and works as a heat sink during the winter as well. Once the 1200 gallon tank is installed a water pump will remove the watering can method of watering I currently use. I mention this as you are early on in setting up your new homestead for the long term.
Great video! I've switched over to the brass and aluminum quick connectors you use on our 5 acre farm with a number of yard hydrants (to get water out to the livestock), so I've purchased quite a number of those things. I always install a shut-off valve ahead of the quick connectors; I like the Gilmour aluminum ones that have a full bore (instead of some of the plastic ones which only have about 1/4" opening) to allow the maximum amount of water flow.
Glad to see you supporting and promoting an Australian owned family business. Hoselink is a great invention. Just like us plants do better with a morning hydration. 👍👍
We have a regular water reel and I have to say that fancy one is absolutely worth it if your money is plentiful. With the regular one we have, I just think it's better to leave the hose out all the time instead of messing around with it, but the fancy one that you have does save time, and quite a lot of it too~
You encouraged me to try growing dragon fruit! I’m in zone 8b and it’s ridiculously hot right now (with the Cali fires and all) and I was able to find some rooted cuttings from a local gardener. I’ll be showing them and much more in my SEPTEMBER GARDEN TOUR 🤗
Love the videos first of all. Just want to not correct you, but let you know that the actual name of what you call a "splitter" is a wye. If, like yours at the faucet, has valves in it it would be known a a gated wye, if there are no valves it is just a wye. Also, great rule of thumb for where I've lived anyway for water amounts needed for in ground plants, not in containers, is roughly a total of 2" per week during the active growing season. I also prefer to water even tomatoes daily during the super hot spells, frequent shallower watering seems to keep the roots and soil cooler, and help prevent blossom drop when the temperatures are 90-95 degrees or higher.
Great video. Everyone I know here in Australia has something like that retractable/180° hose line. I found it so odd that it's not as common in the States!
Very helpful! Thank you! I have watering issues, particularly with cucumbers...mostly because I don't like watering haha. I prefer mulch, mulch, mulch hehe.
Have you ever used a watering spike hooked up to a 2L bottle? I've got them throughout my garden beds and they work great. I usually add in a general surface water to make sure all the plants have something, in case the water isn't spreading enough below ground. I live in a pretty dry region with some pretty hot days during the summer, so things dry out pretty badly if I'm not careful.
Hey love this transformation of your new property! Its looking great! Kinda looks like when I first started my garden! Have you fertilized your corn other than the fox farms and worm castings when you planted them? I'm just asking cuz on the camera they looked a bit pale to me.. Juice them up and let us know the change and what you use for fertilizing!!
Hey Kevin, Epic shirt you are wearing 👌🏻👌🏻. I don’t know if you follow Garden Answer or not; they have been using hoselink for a few years now. It seems like the best product out there, so far.
Those sprinkler heads have a tendancy to become blocked over time in my city. We have hard water, so I tend to monitor them every month under operation and if I suspect it is becoming blocked I fully open them. This should clear out the blockage before I reset them. Also, any adjustments of one sprinkler will affect the flow at the other sprinklers.
I have a portable pressure washer I use for watering I don't think it's very good as a pressure washer but having the wind definitely helps wit watering in my garden because I didn't know I would have a garden at the start of the year
Love the tips and the series. I like a lot that in many of the latest tips/mistakes/questions videos you're featuring the cucumber plant - I have a cucumber that I cannot get to produce and I keep following yours around seeing if it gets as bad as mine and what you're doing about it :)) Mine gets a lot of new green and healthy-looking leaves at the top, even flowers and fruit... but immediately under the top ones the "old" leaves and fruit turn yellow and rot. And in a couple of weeks new leaves and fruit appear on the top and the ones I've been praising get yellow and rotting again... and I don't really know what to do... I have a long yellow-ish stem with dead leaves and dead fruit and a few hopeful ones on top which I know will perish soon.
Those hoselink retractable hoses were on a Australian shark tank like show over a decade ago if they are tough enough for Australia I'm sure they'll last in America
Great tips . . . loved the tool suggestions as well. Thanks, Kevin. Water here is really good and cheap. My bill is between 6 to 15 bucks a month, depending on the season.
14:15 THAT is beautiful!!! What type of pepper is that and where do I get the seed? I actually like to lug water around for a bit of a workout. I fill six 8 litre/2 gallon water jugs and water everything that way. It takes about 30 minutes and a few refills. It would be easy for a man but I'm a 5' tall woman! I hope when I'm 80 or 90 I can still garden. Your 'grow bag' garden inspired me. I just received the 20 multi-coloured grow bags I ordered from Bootstrap! So fabulous with the rich colours! I know I'm not alone in loving your epic shirt!
Not sure the variety but those look like 'ornamental peppers' which you can buy as plant in nurseries, I don't know where you'd be able to find seeds though
@@dulcecelestepalacios5194 Thanks for the tip. I've not seen anything like it around here in Atlantic Canada! The red and purple combo is gorgeous, I did 4 hanging baskets this year in red/purple. They are very eye catching. I searched and it is 'Sangria Ornamental Pepper". Now to find seeds........FOUND! Stokes Seeds, they ship to US and Canada. They list the Sangria as 'Challenging' to grow. Next spring...... challenge accepted!!
Hi Kevin, I'm loving your shirt! You should have merchandise.....t- shirts, caps and mugs with your Epic Gardening logo on them, plus some leaves, passion fruit, flower etc. Your bok choy is doing so well. I love me some bok choy. I will put that on my list for next year. Have a nice day. 🌸
@@epicgardening Suggestion 1) make sure that you get women's V-neck T's (some of us refuse to wear a crew cut T-👕). 2) Would you consider reaching out to Christian the Crazy Plant Guy? He lives in Canada and has merchandise. You could ask him about his supplier and check out the quality of his products? Good luck with your search.

Thank you so much! I’m a new gardener in south Texas and this was very helpful.
This is so funny right now, here in UK, where we are drowning after storms Ellen and Francis. Absolutely no need to water the garden!
Watering over top can flatten your plant especially mounding type plants , like silver mound , petunias, etc.

Will you be able to collect rainwater off your roofs throughout the year? I currently collect with about a 700 gallon capacity and am taking a serious look at adding a 1200 gallon tank with a more complete guttering system on the house.

Once the 1200 gallon tank is installed a water pump will remove the watering can method of watering I currently use.

I live in a pretty dry region with some pretty hot days during the summer, so things dry out pretty badly if I'm not careful.
Hey love this transformation of your new property! Its looking great! Kinda looks like when I first started my garden!
Have you fertilized your corn other than the fox farms and worm castings when you planted them? I'm just asking cuz on the camera they looked a bit pale to me.. Juice them up and let us know the change and what you use for fertilizing!!
No, I need to hit it with some fert!
I so need that retractable hose.
Hey Kevin, Epic shirt you are wearing 👌🏻👌🏻. I don’t know if you follow Garden Answer or not; they have been using hoselink for a few years now. It seems like the best product out there, so far.
Laura is great!
Great stuff! Soil's a little sandy up here in MA, wet-wait-water method works awesome 👌
Very good information thanks
Thanks 🙏 so much, Kevin! Enjoyed this.
Those sprinkler heads have a tendancy to become blocked over time in my city. We have hard water, so I tend to monitor them every month under operation and if I suspect it is becoming blocked I fully open them. This should clear out the blockage before I reset them. Also, any adjustments of one sprinkler will affect the flow at the other sprinklers.
thanks.
Hello I'm so glad to find your channel! Very informative and I'm gonna learn a lot from your videos. 🌱💚
I have a portable pressure washer I use for watering I don't think it's very good as a pressure washer but having the wind definitely helps wit watering in my garden because I didn't know I would have a garden at the start of the year
Love the tips and the series. I like a lot that in many of the latest tips/mistakes/questions videos you're featuring the cucumber plant - I have a cucumber that I cannot get to produce and I keep following yours around seeing if it gets as bad as mine and what you're doing about it :))
Mine gets a lot of new green and healthy-looking leaves at the top, even flowers and fruit... but immediately under the top ones the "old" leaves and fruit turn yellow and rot. And in a couple of weeks new leaves and fruit appear on the top and the ones I've been praising get yellow and rotting again... and I don't really know what to do... I have a long yellow-ish stem with dead leaves and dead fruit and a few hopeful ones on top which I know will perish soon.
Look up mosaic virus
@@epicgardening Thank you. Seems it's possible to be that.
Are you sure watering plants in direct sunlight wont burn them? Becuase from my experience it actually Does burn the leaves
If you noticed his plants had a lot of dead burnt leaves yellowing and brown definitely not a good sign
Thank you for another great informative video! Looks I have been overwatering and stressing ny plants and will have to adjust watering schedule.
Great tips & especially like the watering tools for the hose.
Great tips!!
Thanks.. 👍
Those hoselink retractable hoses were on a Australian shark tank like show over a decade ago if they are tough enough for Australia I'm sure they'll last in America
Great tips . . . loved the tool suggestions as well. Thanks, Kevin. Water here is really good and cheap. My bill is between 6 to 15 bucks a month, depending on the season.
Wow...so jealous
@@epicgardening Welcome to TN! LOL
Handy video, thanks.
PS Titrate isn’t the correct word but I get what you’re saying 👍🏼
Flubbed it!
Love hose link! I saw it on another video and I'm in love I wish I could afford one lol.
Looooovvvveee that Hoselink!
Great tips on watering! Thank you!!
Great tips! I need to get my watering game on point
You tha best brotha
14:15 THAT is beautiful!!! What type of pepper is that and where do I get the seed? I actually like to lug water around for a bit of a workout. I fill six 8 litre/2 gallon water jugs and water everything that way. It takes about 30 minutes and a few refills. It would be easy for a man but I'm a 5' tall woman! I hope when I'm 80 or 90 I can still garden. Your 'grow bag' garden inspired me. I just received the 20 multi-coloured grow bags I ordered from Bootstrap! So fabulous with the rich colours! I know I'm not alone in loving your epic shirt!
Not sure the variety but those look like 'ornamental peppers' which you can buy as plant in nurseries, I don't know where you'd be able to find seeds though
@@dulcecelestepalacios5194 Thanks for the tip. I've not seen anything like it around here in Atlantic Canada! The red and purple combo is gorgeous, I did 4 hanging baskets this year in red/purple. They are very eye catching. I searched and it is 'Sangria Ornamental Pepper". Now to find seeds........FOUND! Stokes Seeds, they ship to US and Canada. They list the Sangria as 'Challenging' to grow. Next spring...... challenge accepted!!
Cracks me up you guys and this 'quick connect'. I've never NOT seen quick connect and I'm 36. I thought America had everything lol
We are weirdly behind on some stuff
Hi Kevin, I'm loving your shirt! You should have merchandise.....t- shirts, caps and mugs with your Epic Gardening logo on them, plus some leaves, passion fruit, flower etc. Your bok choy is doing so well. I love me some bok choy. I will put that on my list for next year. Have a nice day. 🌸
I'm working on it...hard to find a merch supplier that makes QUALITY
@@epicgardening Look at the beauty community.
@@epicgardening Suggestion 1) make sure that you get women's V-neck T's (some of us refuse to wear a crew cut T-👕). 2) Would you consider reaching out to Christian the Crazy Plant Guy? He lives in Canada and has merchandise. You could ask him about his supplier and check out the quality of his products? Good luck with your search.
Half the country is in a drout the other half under water. I'm in LA and we have 2 hurricanes on their way. I wish there was a way to share some rain.
The best one can do is hold and store the water in the land through swales, ponds and other earthworks.
I think that ALL the time! I wish we could share some rain.
What are the emitter types you're using on your drip for the pots? Really like the output control and built-in ground stake.
I like your garden it's very beautiful
You had a time lapse in the video and I wanted to say that the motion blur looks really good!
Thanks bro - BTW can you send me the footage from the garage sale?
Epic Gardening Yes, I will work on sending you the footage later today.
Great info as always! 👍
Love your style of videos. Really wish you covered some carnivorous plants too. Like Nepenthes.
