Wish my husband was so helpful! Lucky girl !
Say it again! Omg I wish.
Arron is so easy going. You two work well together. I love it. 💐🌿🌷🌱🌸🌻💕
Hahaha! My fiancé was literally just glueing some pipes together this past weekend for our rain water collection system and I told him I liked the smell of the adhesive! You aren’t alone! 🤣
Everybody is so concise when explaining drip stuff.... This has made it so easy....
I love that you and your husband work together on something you love. You guys are awesome.
You have so much eye candy in your yard, I don't think anyone will even notice the drip tubing. Your house is just beautiful and once those platters are planted, Wow! :)
I know, right? Like, I hardly see her house when she does house tours! So many pretty things to look at!
I agree! The eyes are on the BEAUTIFUL window boxes & gardens, not the drip tubing!!
Thank God for Aaron
His tubing placement is perfect.
In your pursuit of perfection you would have gone waaaayyy too far.
The horizontal lines of the house made it look perfect.
Give your genius husband an extra big kiss tonight!
Yay! Not accidental irrigation! ❤️ Whatever Proven Winners is paying you, they should double it. I just bought a starter kit! Can’t wait! Loved the video.
Hi Laura and Aaron...I had never heard of drip tubing irrigation until I started watching your garden videos. I am having a system installed this year that will cover all of my garden beds, a MUCH smaller area than yours. This will make gardening more enjoyable for me because to be honest, I did not have a lot of confidence that I could keep plants alive during our hot summer months in Omaha. THANK YOU for providing these great instructional videos! I will be adding many new trees, shrubs and flowers now that a water system is installed. Love you guys!! Meg Cotton
This was wonderful to see how you set them up and where to get the white tubing! I am so excited to help you with a suggestion! I keep a cigarette lighter gun in my drip tool box to warm the tubing ends to slip them onto the connectors, so easy, other wise impossible for my 66 year old hands. Also use the hair dryer to mold cold 1/2 lines around the corners when it's cold. Look forward to your videos every morning, gets me inspired to get out there and make something beautiful. Thank you!!!
Thank you for your cigarette lighter tip.
Thanks for the tips, awesome!
Ok, I have to leave a second comment...... Laura, you are something else!!! You honestly crawled under the house!!!! Brave lady!!! I'm SO impressed. 💕🌻💕🌻
The Dynamic Duo does it again!! Well done, you two and so informative💃🏻🕺🏻🙌🏼
Oh man, I’m really impressed and jealous how well you two work together in these home projects. I could definitely take a page out of your book.
So helpful for a beginner like myself. I see running a water line from box to box looks fine if attached cleanly. It’s not bad if people see your irrigating. Keeping it simple and clean is always a good look.
YOU (Laura) should invent the tool to make popping the emitters on a better experience. It would be the perfect “Garden Answer” tool! Love the critical thinking involved in this one!! So motivational!!
Garden Answer and a cup of coffee is the best way to start my day! I've never gardened before but I'm so excited to start this year now that its finally starting to warm up in Michigan! You really have inspired me so much!
Her enthusiasm is incredibly contagious!
I do the same everyday hahah xD
I love you two’s shared sense of adventure. It seems there is nothing you won’t try...at least once. That’s why you have a gorgeous home and garden. Leave no stone unturned!
Glad to know the tubing at Home Depot is harder. I have been installing the Home Depot drip tubing and my fingers were bruised/rawv from trying to add the little connectors. I heated some water in the microwave, poured hot water into a yeti tumbler to keep it hot, and carrier it around with me as I put the connectors on. I put end of the tubing in the hot water for about 30 seconds and then stuck the connectors in.
I woke up this morning thinking about running trip tubing to Great pots my neighbor gave me and the rest of my garden but I wasn't sure how it would work this video came at the perfect time thank you both! I'm in a wheelchair so it's kind of important for me to be able to water my garden easily you guys made me very happy
WOW, you both did a great job. After painting the black clips white, it blends right into your house. It doesn't look bad at all.
Love drip...soooo handy. So a lesson I learned with the small tubing is when I ran it too far that it couldn’t push enough water to the end of the tubing properly. Especially after adding emitters. So I had to use larger hose, like 1/2”, to get the pressure needed to get the water to the end and then run the smaller drip off of the 1/2”. Good luck!!
That's funny that Aaron suggested to run the tubing under the siding, because that's exactly what I was thinking! I love how accommodating he is, my husband would just be arguing about me being picky! I've always thought Narcissus plants stink, but they are pretty. You guys are great 😊
Love couples working together. My husband and me occasionally pick up projects around the house together. He is also a blessing to me and others. Love you guys. And pray for multiplication and extension of your lives. God bless you and continue pouring blessings over you guys. Big hug from Orlando Florida 🌞
Gosh guys ... this is incredibly helpful ..I was so confused with all the parts and bits ...your start to finish video with all the ups and downs was extremely insightful....thx so much
I'm so thankful you guys showed how you rationalize stuff out. Isn't it funny how we have these big dreams, elaborate plans, and then husbands come in and execute reality LOL! I love it! Thank you so much for all you do! You are my hero girlfriend!
Everything you do is an inspiration! My husband did repairs on our front sprinkler system last year for the first time because of you! That save us so much money. So what did I do with the savings? Why bought more plants of course ;-))
Hi Laura!!! You are living my dream!!! I'm so happy for you! I know how much you appreciate and feel blessed to be doing what you love! Aaron is a wonderful husband and its so nice you both have the same interest!! Your home and property are coming along beautifully!! I love the addition of the chickens!!! This is a beautiful environment for baby Benjamin to grow up in!! All the best to you and you family and I hope you have a beautiful and blessed Easter!
Linda O. from NJ
Beautiful message from a beautiful soul. 🌞🙏
You two are amazing! Such teamwork and patience! Crawling under the porch, girl you are fearless!
Yay! I love starting my day with a video from you two! A very informative video and also helpful to those looking at the “how to” forums that can be super overwhelming. You just jumping in there and giving it a shot is awesome advice because everyone has a different need or issue.
It’s a great idea to keep your irrigation lines as level as possible when running over long distances because it reduces the amount of pressure required to keep the water moving. You’ve mentioned in the past that you’re on a well instead of city water so your pressure is probably more consistent. The water pumps for many cities have “low use” hours where they don’t put as much pressure on the lines.
In my home, we’ll be running drip lines to the new garden beds and I’ve resigned to the fact that we will have to run the lines along the footing of the house. I’m thinking that a cable protector for the line at your back door may be a good idea so that line doesn’t get squashed!
Ha Ha...I was writing this comment as Arron said what I was typing....heating up the end of the tubing makes it much easier to insert the hard plastic into the tubing. I enjoy your videos So Much! Y’all are an inspiration for me to work in my garden. Thanks So Much for putting in all the work y’all do to keep getting these videos out for all of us to enjoy!
I agree w/ you on that corner section, it would drive me crazy until its corrected, It will look more finished. Your hubby is so nice, I have a great man too, always helpful and also likes the house to look nice, as well as making things more simple and easy for me, plus he'll benefit too in the long run, as some days he has to do the watering if I'm not up to it. I ALWAYS learn so much from your videos, thank you both for making such good quality, informative, and entertaining shows!
gotta love Aaron's honesty ha ha.
Aaron has a great eye! It’s so fun to watch you two collaborate.
Love how well you & Aaron work together. Every time me & my bf started a big project, we would get excited for the first hour, then we had to call in the professionals #saveourrelationship 😂😂😂
Chantra Sek My hubby and I used to have knock down, drag out arguments that would make projects just keep going and going and going. 😱
Finally, we decided to set one person as the lead and one person as the helper. Because we both have experience in so many areas, it was better to have input but not that need to control the direction for the greater good of the project.
Some marriage counselors suggest avoiding major renovations until you’re further into your relationship. I disagree totally. Doing the big DIY projects together will teach you communication with your partner.....or if you’ll end up burying him under the tulips. ☺️🌷
@@megandcochrane You made me laugh out loud with that last line about the tulips... hmm, there are those times!
Don't worry about the tubing on the house or the corner. It will blend in after you start to up plant your containers. Besides like all good gardeners you'll probably put a beautiful container there at the corner to dress it up. Its ok.
Fantastic! What a great time/work saving decision you made to do this! I'm impressed! Honestly, I was genuinely concerned about both running the tubing up & down the walls AND using the 2 gal/min emitters. I was multiplying the number of emitters per window box by 2 and thinking about HOW MUCH water each box would be having to hold! I was sitting here saying, "Nooo! Too much, Laura! Too much!" Lol What a relief, when it wouldn't work! It's great to see you guys reduce the amount of that type of watering that has to be done. Thanks to both of you for showing us how to do this at our homes!🌾💜
The tubing is not obvious, should work nicely and will save you so much work later. You always have such pretty plant combinations I am looking forward to this years plantings.
***💜🌱Laura, for around the door, there is plastic molding to hide wires, I think you can use that! ***🌱💜 Don't forget caulking around the holes in the house!
Hahaha Laura, I like the smell of the pipe glue too. ...😃😃😃
Aaron is so practical and smart. I'm impressed. He must also be very tactful to overcome Laura's aesthetic ambitions.
I did it! I got my starter box and set up my second floor window boxes. I got on the roof myself! I wouldn't be brave and wouldn't try without your tutorial. So grateful to you both. The tan tube matched my house no need to paint. Yay! I have vinyl so I got clips that go in without nailing, and bought red adjustable emitters. I used a two hose timer. Thank you so much!
Yes, this was an old video, but I found it and it showed me the whole process. I was worrying about standing in an aisle reading all the packages and making correct choices. I have committed to do the south side gardens at my home with the Water Wise kit and will use that knowledge to finish the other three sides, Thanks for the continuing education.
I love long videos as it lets me get through two cups of coffee with Laura!! All the tubing looks really good and even on the house ( can't wait to see if you change the corner piece :) ) Even though I can't do this at my apartment I love all the information and I may try to see if we can get something going at my work to make things a little easier although the children like dragging the hose or going around with watering cans. Thanks for all that you do!
The tubing looks great. It blends in very good.
I had gone back and watched the previous videos you posted about drip irrigation, yesterday! It's like every time I think of something for my garden, your video of it is in my inbox the next day! The day before, I planted up a new hanging basket. When I watered it, a bunch of water came pouring out. I thought to myself, maybe I was suppose to put a liner in it. The next morning, you posted the video about hanging baskets and said "these baskets don't hold water well".....Thanks Laura! 👍👌🌱🌼
Very informative video, I think that the tubing is hidden very well, unless you are really looking I don't feel it's that noticeable, you both did such a great job, and Aaron explaining how to run it from the house is very helpful, I think even though I have a small yard I could benefit from having some drip tubing in my flower beds, then maybe I wouldn't have to run around watering and making sure my plants are getting enough water, that in itself is a chore. Thank you so much for all of the helpful videos that you share, it is making my gardening experience so much more enjoyable, and I'm loving all of the great ideas.
I love my weekend in the morning. Coffee, gardening videos and garden answer. It is the two mornings a week I get alone time to watch you and cuddle my dogs before starting any household chores.
Mice will find a way through those holes you drilled. If you haven’t already, fill the gaps with steel wool (my preference) or spray foam.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. There's also a type of caulk that you spray and it expands to fill the hole but I don't know if that would pinch or kink the tubing.
Our garden mice ate through spray foam

Thank you so much for this video! I started my drip irrigation system for my pots last year. It was a little confusing. I am on a well system also and ran it from my spout off the house. I was confused when I was putting on the back flow preventer and the pressure regulator and the order they go on. I am going a long distance so I ran black one inch tube off the spout and then the 1/4" tube at different areas around the house. You have inspired me to finally get it finished. Definitely the Proven Winners tubing is easier to work with than the Home Depot!!!
I ordered my Proven Winners drip system this past winter and will be installing within the next few weeks. Awesome tutorial....thanks Aaron and Laura.
Great video. I've done quite a bit of drip irrigation in my yard and there is always an issue like the 2 gallon per hour vs. .5 gallon per hour stuff. The one problem I have consistently is that my lines always leak at the faucet to line connection. Your demonstration is real life stuff, not just someone showing how perfect they are at everything the first time. Thanks for keeping it real.
JD Winfield I wrap a little Teflon tape around the connector threads in a clockwise direction before screwing in. Works like a charm to stop the leaking! And actually makes some things a little easier to unscrew at the end of the season. Just an idea, this actually works really well for any threads where water is involved, especially if they don’t have a compression ring :)
@@casey.munmar I was thinking the same thing
I am in the process of getting my two little flower/veggie garden on drip! Thanks Laura for the inspiration!! I did have to get a heat gun to be able to connect my 1/2" tubing, but I'm already loving it!!
I love these longer work videos, it makes me feel like I'm watching a TV Show!!! PLEASE MORE OF THESE LONGER VIDEOS!! And it's good to see Aaron in front of the camera as opposed to behind it.
You could use small pieces of the tan to run to those containers by the doors! It would blend in with the patio rock better than the white!!! Just a thought if you have extra tan tubing! ❤️❤️ Love y'all!!
Love this video, great to learn how to set up irrigation to a regular hose and really interesting to see how you do it at your house, you guys talk about it so much but have never shown how it runs. Awesome 😊
Laura, the path of least resistance is a straight line...and Aaron did a great job on the tubing! You are so like me tho, I hate to see wiring, tubing, etc. Kudos to you, both
Look so complicated but its all worth it....Thank you guys for showing us how setting up drip irrigation..
What a great video, thank you so much! The best part is when it did not work and you left the troubleshooting in the video and explain what you learned instead of editing it out. So helpful! Keep up the great work!
It looks great. And with all the beautiful plants you have. Who will notice the tubes.
Thank you so much for filming this!
I'm guessing that if you ran it up and down to the roof, the tubing wouldn't be able to work all the way at the end (too far for the drip tubing). I like the way it looks, cos it says to me "they know what they're doing" AND it is far less noticeable than hoses everywhere. - I'm sure people visiting won't even notice.
You two work so well together! I might just install some drip I planted allot more in my back yard this year compared to last year and I feel like I was always watering!
Hi Laura and Aaron! Thank you both for another vey informative video! Like others have said, it's so nice when you show your troubleshooting and not just edit out the "problems" you have. You make it so real and down to earth for all of us. I think it all turned out very nice and I know you will come up with something for that corner to hide the tubing. There have been so many great ideas already in the comments. TFS!
Love when you guys bring us along for projects like this. Favourite channel on youtube for sure 👌
It looks fine on the house. It blends and by time the boxes are filled your eyes will be drawn to the flowers. Great work you guys!
Omg, when you 1st mentioned running it up and down the house I kinda cringed. I think it's much less noticeable than you think! But I love your attention to detail. Thank you for sharing.
Audrey GFI, I was cringing right along with you! Lol!
Thank you so much for the long content. Love yalls videos so much. GARDEN GOALS!!
perfect video as always!!...now we need more info on how long you run the water for each drip size....Thank you!
I’m so glad you made a video on this I just ordered PW drip kit at Lowe’s and I got some planter window boxes at Wayfair on clearance. I can’t wait to plant them up with summer annuals.
You are both such an inspiration to me.
Thank you xx
You are ticking off my to do list boxes this year. I just ordered drip tubing and irrigation pieces last week. I'm glad you did this video because you saved me a headache . I thought the boxes were connected differently. I was wondering about your landscape beds do you run pre-order perforated hose or do you put on a bunch of emitters? Would you do a video about this? Once again thank you and Aaron for your wonderful videos. I know Aaron is more the behind the scenes but he's as big a part of this as you and also deserves a big thank you. Love you guys
Since I've started watching your videos I've been putting all my beds, hanging baskets, orchard, vegetable garden and anything else I can hook up on drip tubing. It's amazing! I have so much more free time and my flowers love it! Thank you for doing all these videos on it. It really helps see what's possible in our own yards!
When I am working with connecting up drip tubing I keep a heavy duty coffee mug full of boiling hot water nearby. I dip any of the tubing ends in the hot water for a few seconds before connecting. It softens the tubing just enough to help make the connection and prevent sore fingers. I just reheat the water in the coffee mug in the microwave as needed 😍
I think it looks fine from far you can’t hardly tell and from close it doesn’t look bad.
It looks perfect. Can't even tell that it's there. I love that you set up your garden so you could actually enjoy it. Great team work like always.
The video following all the tubes along the ground was cracking me up. I kept thinking of the video for "The Old Man Down the Road" by John Fogerty. That song is stuck in my head now. 😄
So so helpful. In our last house we didn’t have irrigation so I hooked up soaker hoses to my flower gardens on a timer. It was so awesome. But now that I have been watching you and learning about new ways to water things I’ve got all sorts of ideas. Thank you so much
You’re so brave to go in the craw space!
I love watching your videos and have learned so much in the past few years from you! I had never heard of drip tubing until I watched you install it on your patio a few years ago by the little maple tree. I Purchased the small kit from proven winners to get me started and then I have added a few pieces from the box store. Having my planters on drip system is the best thing ever! Well worth the investment for sure! And my flowers look so much nicer because they are getting regular watering as compared to me watering! 🌺☺️💐
Lol Aaron was like 🙄”I knew the black paint and that corner thing was not going to go over well but.....here’s what’s gonna happen ! LOL you two are toooo cuteeee😁
Thanks so much for sharing this system. I too want to have a drip system and also on the ground using soaker hoses and a timer. Learning the technique from you takes the fear away of doing it DIY.
I promise you that your shrubs and plants will so completely steal the view that no one will notice the tiny hoses.
My answer would not be "Ugh, they have TUBING on their house..." it would be "OMG they have TUBING ON THEIR HOUSE!!! Lucky 🤣🤣" I think it will take me all year to set up drip lines!
I feel like you guys stress the noticeably too much. No one walks up on the house to admire your paneling. They’re looking at all your beautiful plants! Also I love seeing you guys work together, you are both so patient with each other. Such a great team. ❤️
Yes!! An irrigation video! We have plans to get our yard started on irrigation this year. You’ve inspired us!
Great video! I use a cup of hot water, it doesn't take long at all to soften the ends. I use the standard black 1/4" tubing so it is really difficult to connect unless I do that. So worth every time I hook up automatic watering. I have some areas that I have to water by hand and it can be an every day event in summer, so every place I can automate is just so much time saved!
What an incredible home!
Thanks to you guys and watching all your videos last summer, my husband and I have spent the last two weekends setting up 11 new containers on our deck / front porch with drip lines. Keep up the good work! No one teaches us these things growing up, but we have to learn it all somewhere.
Aaron, you are so incredibly thorough! All of this tubing wizardry almost makes sense now! Thank you for teaching :)
I can relate to that day I have helped outside. When my husband helps me with a project it takes an hour or two. Most days I'm on my own and it takes all day. Have not ran any Plumbing to anything at this point. Interesting to watch the process. Husband to handyman but boy is he busy.
I am trying to get my rose bed hooked up to drip this year. Would love to see a video on different amounts for different plants like a estimate on emitter sizes for roses and other plants
Aaron is a wizard! Please put more Aaron in your videos. He is really cool and smart and you two are just too cute together :-)
That corner piece gives you and opportunity to plant something in a pot something tall and pretty ;-) ;-) looks great
Thankyou You guys sooo much to take time and explain and show such a complicated topic but still so much necessary.
I love your irrigation videos! It’s a priority project for us. We just got a Rachio smart system. That was only possible because our water utilities gave us a rebate for it.
So glad Aaron said to just run the tube straight around under the siding. That's what I was thinking when you were talking about going around each window. I love how Aaron is so willing to help you. I really want window boxes and already figured out how I would run the drip tubing, but my husband says NO WAY and says he will pull them down if I put them up. 😪 I am currently running drip tubing irrigation to the beds around my house, thanks to your inspiration and have been working on devising a way to run it to the hanging baskets by the house and patio. Thank you for all your inspirational and informative videos. Just love you guys. 💕💕💕
Aww. He is such a good husband. Looks great!
Just received my Waterwise starter kit this morning. I now need to make a trip to Home Depot.
I think the tubing is invisible!! Laura you are a brave women crawling under the house!! There is no way I could ever do that!! Thanks for this video and explaining it all so well!!!
What a great video. When you first said you were going to go up and down with the tubing, I thought you better have bought a thousand feet. Like the way you ended up doing it. You won't even notice it once you are used to it. Other people won't even know to look for it. Going to set that up for my hanging pots and planters here. Thanks for all your teaching us. Loved the way you jumped right in there and crawled under the house. You are such a hard worker! Can't wait for the next one..
Thank you for another excellent and informative video. You and Aaron are such a joy to watch and the useful tips are a bonus. I especially appreciate that you show how projects don't always go to plan and how to troubleshoot and fix them. I have major garden envy, but you're inspiring me to make the best of my own little yard. I'm looking forward to seeing the chicks and of course cameos from Benjamin and the pets.
Tubing is great and only visible because we keep focusing on it while you work! Nice job.
A couple who can do a major project together and laugh and smile - amazing!
