Aaron, you're giving off "Tim The Tool Man" vibes this morning...Love It! I appreciate the organization! The way that Aaron and Laura take us along and teach us so many garden skills makes morning coffee even better!
Such a fantastic video! Thank you so much for putting this together. I walked through Bunnings *Australian Home Depot* today and I headed down the irrigation aisle, I confidently selected every single coupler, hose, staples, drip tube and poly pipe that I needed. I came home planted all of my Autumn plants, ran drip to everything and thought! “ Yep, Nailed it!” Funny thing happened though, I was asking for something specific and used an American term and the lass I spoke to said, “You watch Garden Answer don’t you?” Lol. That began a whole 30 minute conversation which ended up with a coffee and I joined her on her lunch break. Best day ever.
@@taylorswf23 I was actually asking for ‘proven winners Sweet potato vine! (We have ‘Aussie Winners’ over here but it’s slim pickings if you can find a stockist) and if it was available for order next summer- coming into winter now.. haha… Apparently, we don’t have Sweet potato vine in Australia… 😤😤 kinda depressing.. wish we had supertunias here too..
Good morning, Laura and Aaron, from Windermere Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 My husband is a retired Irrigation Technician (after 1 year of College Program Certification). I keep showing him all of your Irrigation work and he's always impressed by you, Aaron 👩🌾👍 Happy Gardening Everyone 🌿 💚 🌿
I'm just beginning to plan my drip system for my garden and this was so helpful. I have been a faithful GA follower for years and love to see how comfortable Aaron has become in front of the camera. Thank you both for sharing your diverse knowledge with us all. I for one truly appreciate it.
Having fur babies as a boss is the best! When I saw those kitty's checking out the work you were doing, my heart just burst for the love you show these inquisitive felines! Laura, Aaron, you guys are rocking these videos! Love watching you working together and making such great progress on your property! It's such a pleasure to see a married couple complement each other, such a rare thing to see these days! Blessings to you both and the whole family! I absolutely adore your videos!
I have a container garden and drip irrigation was a game changer . Not watering by hand means I have a much smaller water bill and I have time to appreciate my garden🌺🌸
This video is so unbelievably wholesome. Holy cow. The enthusiasm Laura gives Aaron is so endearing and adorable. Yall are so cute. True love DOES exist. Have a great weekend guys. 😀
My husband and I have been thinking about adding a drip system and this video was eye-opening to the entire process. I appreciate you taking the time to put this video together. You have given me the confidence to experiment with new plants. Each growing season I have expanded my garden in some way whether it’s trying out a new plant variety or having 5 yards of compost delivered to freshen up old garden beds or add new ones. I watch your videos every day and take a little nugget of information from each one. Gardening has brought some peace to my life, and I want to thank you for all you and Aaron do. You are an inspiration to all.
I love this! We are a total Milwaukee family here. We have an electrical, telecom and security supply company and our cargo van is completely outfitted with these Milwaukee PackOuts. They are amazing for organization and ease of use. Love the cart system. We even got a couple drawers with foam to carve out storage for specific tools we have. I did buy the Dewalt drill from Power Planter. I got yelled at by my husband and oldest son for buying that. They proceeded to buy me the Milwaukee Hole Hawg for Mother’s Day 😂😂😂 Gotta love Milwaukee.
Going on vacation so I just did my drip yesterday. Learned everything I know about it from Laura and Aaron. So happy my freshly planted seedlings will be watered! Thanks Laura and Aaron have for all the information you share!
THIS is what I was needing last year when I was starting my drip! I was losing my mind trying to figure out how to neatly store all my supplies. And, alas, I basically have the Dewalt version of that top tool box, and it works perfectly for my little supply. Not gonna lie, I'm kinda proud to see that I did something almost exactly like my mentors, Laura & Aaron. 😉 Also--I hadn't realized how much I've missed a full Laura & Aaron project video until now! It's so enjoyable watching your two brains, quirks, and senses of humor work together. Very endearing. Thanks for another wonderful video...friends. 💚
Thank you Aaron for going through all of this. I’m 31 years old and my dad has never been very present in my life to teach me things like this. I moved out with my boyfriend (now husband) when I was 16 and never looked back. We are loving gardening, our first year having an actual garden, and have learned so much from both of you! We planted several tomatoes and peppers yesterday as well as potatoes and I was going through my Garden Answer checklist in my head from everything I’ve learned from the both of you over the years! I watch religiously every morning as I start my workday and I love the peace and joy it brings me every morning!
@Stephine Beck, I am sorry to hear that your father wasn't there for you, growing up. That is on him, not you. Look at all you have accomplished without his guidance!!!! You should be VERY PROUD of yourself, young Lady!!👏👏👏 You and your husband keep moving on and up, together!🤗🤗
Stephine, in our family I'm the handywoman in the house and garden. Hubs does not know how, nor is interested in all that stuff. And for the moment, my two adult kids, 26 and 29, aren't too interested. But when they are, they'll come to this ole gal for direction 😉. As they have and do for so many other things. I'm pretty much self-taught by trial, error and more errors. So just keep learning these invaluable life lessons and pass them along. Change the course, that's what it's all about. I'm sure you'll do great things with your knowledge. Good Luck, Alysen. 😻
@@alcg3981 thank you Alysen ❤️ I am a trial and error type of gal myself and I like to get things done instead of asking for help often as well. We have a 1 year old daughter and it's my goal to raise her to be a strong, independent, capable woman!
Aaron in his happy place, he’s so good at organisation and set up. Where would we be without the Aaron’s in our lives? Love the new system and it’ll save so much time in the coming months. Good job Aaron.
I’ve never seen a couple so excited about drip irrigation fittings and a Milwaukee pack out 😂 how cute! ///side note I have a Milwaukee pack out myself for my electrical and cable tools and fittings at work and I love it!!
Omg…I have a Dewalt pack out system like this that my husband "stole". He "gave" me his old Milwaukee system JUST LIKE THIS ONE!!! And I have all my craft stuff in it! Lol. I laughed when you said it. 🤣🥰 I love this video. Organization is my jam.
That was what I thought the second I saw it... "crafts" (though maybe overkill) and then Laura said it. I knew I wasn't crazy (or at least I was in good company if I was! )
Aaron you are a life saver! I literally had an amazon order open and was going to click submit when this popped up. I am order drip irrigation parts and tubing for my mother in-law's garden. I've never ran drip before, but built confidence watching Laura. Needless to say this video was perfectly timed and saved me a lot of hassle. Now I'm sure I got all the parts. Great explanation on everything to do with drip 👏. I really appreciate it 👍🏽
When I saw the tile I knew it was my lucky day! Two of my most burning questions answered in one video! 1) Drip line 💧 AND 2) how to tell the cats 🐈 🐈 apart! ❤️Thank you, Laura and Aaron!
I got strawberry plants and saw your video on how to pot them and then saw the drip system which will be helpful for my 556 marigolds :D I’m really excited. I have to go to bed so I can get up early but I want to continue watching this video!
I learn so much from you both. After watching the most recent recap video I just want to encourage you to never feel like you’re being redundant when making videos. I feel like everyone learns something new from you with every video. Plus, who doesn’t need a nice refresher? I’ve seen you redo drip so many times but I still enjoy watching the video and learn something. You’re both igniting people’s passion for gardening. Whether they’ve never gardened before or just forgot how much they love it. I’d say the Lord is using you in a very impactful way 💕💕
*** WOW *** What an excellent powerful packed video! We/the GA family have always known that Aaron is "The SuperMan" with ANALYTICAL SKILLS! This video with ALL the educational lessons is just like Laura ~ when she PACKS all those plants in one pot ---- Aaron packed us all UP today. We stand AMAZED!!! Shared on FB: with the heading: Aaron shares his knowledge.
I have just installed my first drip system in my greenhouse. You make it look so easy Aaron and Laura, lol!! It was definitely a learning curve trying to get the connections to not leak and the proper drip per hour emitters on everything! I have learnt so much from watching you guys work through all the different issues when dealing with drip! Thank you for sharing all your tips and tricks.
Oh my gosh! This was a priceless video. You have no idea how much you have helped me. My garden and I both thank you! BTW, it's nice to see Aaron getting more comfortable being on camera. You're doing a great job, Aaron. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us.
This is one of the videos we will come back to over and over again. Thank you for this reminder of all the parts and how they work. I ran drip last year to my entire garden bed in front of our house thanks to you guys. So appreciated. Laura you are right it's easy to add and take away each year once the hard stuff is done.
My husband is the head of maintenance for 10 apartment rental complexes (about 600 apartments) so his truck is FULL of tools. The pac-out system was a game changer for him. I then took over the Stanley carriers for my drip irrigation supplies. I love being able to carry it around to whatever landscape or container area I need to work in. It is because of your videos that I have drip running to EVERYTHING and I will never go without it again. Thank you for all you do for the gardening community!!
I love your channel , l love your work. I too have a huge yard and each time l see my self dream of a yard (and tools) like yours, l hear my wife go, " how are you going to pay for it". Immediately l snap out of it kikikiki🤣🤣🤣
One add - for pots, when I switch from the solid 1/4” to the line with emitters every 6”, I put in an inline on/off valve. It’s great to be able to turn off a pot in between plantings and also to reduce for those plants that need less water then others.
Thank you for this info! We took a trip to Home Depot last night and bought a couple of these Milwaukee packout’s . Now the shed won’t be littered with the dozens of plastic bins we were using to store our supplies
This cabinet is fantastic! As an organizer myself, I am talking to the screen saying “Let me get my label maker and make some labels for each section!” Hahaha! Ahhh gardening and organizing! I am in heaven! Great job guys. Love to see couples sharing their passions together!
Thank you so much, Aaron and Laura, for including these types of repair things in your videos! Seeing you guys show us the tools and materials and how to make simple repairs is so helpful and gives me confidence to figure out the workings of my property- structural, electrical, mechanical, all the things. Thank you! 🤗💖
I can’t begin to thank you for going step by step. Although I started my drip system a couple of years ago & this video just completely & thoroughly explains the process. I started as you said… I went back & fourth to the store buying the various drip, emitters, tubing & connectors!! Then just dumped it all in a plastic shoe box. So now I’m going to invest in a proper container! Getting organized is definitely a game changer. Greetings from sunny California👍🏼👍🏼👏👏👏💐!
Thanks to you guys this is my 3rd season with drip in my garden. Game changer! Last year I bought my husband a box like the top one for his garage fasteners. After organizing his pieces and parts, I realized it would be perfect for my drip supplies so I bought one for me. Works like a charm!
I live in a part of the country that gets enough rain that our garden doesn’t require drip, but after watching this and y’all’s videos in general, I want to run drip to everything! Thank you for thinking to do a video like this. The nuts-and-bolts-type things are just as import (maybe even more important) as seeing pretty plants to making sure we can all be as successful as possible in our gardens. The entire world has more beautiful landscaping because of y’all!
I want to add an observation I have made when using drip. Always punch connectors on side of hose. There is a tendency to punch hole on top but inserting connectors on side prevents damage if one steps on the hose.
Perfect timing for this video...THANK YOU!!! I have been wanting to run drip irrigation for a while so my plants are watered consistently, but was so overwhelmed by the topic.
Love this!!!😍. I’m pretty sure we’re going to be getting this storage system. Hubby is already online 😄. Plus he’s going to practice in the raised veggie beds to start our very first drip system. Thanks for the confidence booster.
Great informative video. My husband and I owned an irrigation contracting business for many years. The info in this video was spot on! The best advice from Aaron; know when to hire a professional and what you can do yourself. We were hired several times a year by DIYers who tried and failed to install their own irrigation systems. It’s not rocket science. But, you do have to know what you’re doing. It ended up costing them more money in the long run.
Your organizational plan for the 1/4" drip system is brilliant! I've been using a plastic box to hold my 1/4" piece-parts, which is a complete mess. Yours is so well organized, that I'm going to upgrade mine to something similar. Thank you!!!
I was wincing throughout because this is my least favorite chore in the garden...it's as if you minded me I really need to eat my vegetables. The new organization system obviously makes the whole process less painless, for sure. You both are so awesome in that you've perfected your storage to make "eating your vegetables" so easy. Thank you for your amazing inspiration, including spider dominance!!!❤
Thankyou for sharing … we in Australia are on Metric measurements as you are the old scale of Gallons … but who cares it all works the same , great storage unit 🙌😍🧤👒🐨🦘🇦🇺Karen from Australia 😎🍂
I had no interest in gardening until I found you. I am 59 and for the first time planted tulips, from Colorblends, in my Mom's front yard. She loved it. Your videos inspire such joy and excitement for my new favorite thing to do. I even enjoy weeding. I put on one my favorite GA maintenance videos and get to it. Thank you for giving me the confindence to try something new! Please realize what a blessing you guys are to so many 😊
I've been running drip for the first time this spring to my flower beds and pots as well as my new raised vegetable beds . After watching you do it for a few years I finally got the courage to tackle it myself. I have a full time job with an ag retail business and of course spring is our busiest time of year, so I work on it a little time and hopefully will have it done in a week or so. Thanks for all you do and show on your channel.
The organization in the barn and of the drip irrigation supplies is inspiring! My garage is in desperate need of organization, and seeing how you have all your yard tools hanging on the wall in the barn in the background got all my wheels turning with ideas. Thanks for showing this!
This is my first year getting my flower garden, vegetable garden and pots set up on drip and it is a game changer!!! And YES Laura, we made several tips to get everything all set up!! Totally worth it!!
This video is extremely helpful! I’m getting ready to fix and apply new irrigation in our new home. I’ve never had irrigation before so no clue on what was what or how to do this. I do appreciate your educational videos and tours, they’re so helpful. Thank you for all you do! I’ve learned and gained so much inspiration from your videos. Always love waking up with coffee and sweet Laura videos! ❤😊
Last summer, I installed drip to some containers from our existing drip tubing, to great success. This year, I've had to move things around, but I'm ready with my supplies to get drip to the new locations. You give me such confidence to try these projects on my own instead of having to call an irrigation company!
I don’t have drip, wish I did…but my garden is small and possibly not worth it. However, I found this video fascinating and very informative! The “technical/mechanical” side of gardening is not as beautiful or as fun as planting the plants, but so very necessary for the plants to thrive! Lovely to see you and Aaron working together on this project, I wonder if you had to both look at you calendars and schedule this?
Your container irrigation advice over the years is one reason our rented garden looks so much better in the summer than it did when we moved in. You provide so much useful information not available elsewhere. I also love the way you invest in such beautiful containers. I feel that I can grow pretty much anything now.
Thanks to Laura drip was added last year to the container garden. I love the blue tooth timer I added that can track water usage via my phone. It also monitors the weather and if it rains will not water on those days. PS Thanks Aaron for explaining the parts and the organization case. I appreciate the input and feel I can make an educated guess for what I need in my garden.
Perfect timing...I got a starter drip irrigation system for Christmas and have been trying to figure out how to install it this week. I want to add a timer but was confused on what to do and trying to figure out what parts I needed.. So thanks for the lesson. I have a little more confidence in myself to do it.
Love the organizer. I have something similar for my drip fittings. So much better than the “all the small bags in a bin” I had on a shelf. 🙂 I’ve wanted something similar for PVC fittings so I don’t have to run to the store every time.
Oh my gosh Aaron I purchased a system just like that two years ago and I love it for my irrigation set up also. Those systems are a game changer when working on water lines and doing installations. Anyone who is a serious gardener should invest in one. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a part time crafter! Years ago my husband was a handyman. I bought him a rolling cart similar to this but smaller, but he never used it! So I confiscated it back 🤭😆 and turned it into my craft supply cart!
☕️Good Friday to all watching and Laura and Aaron. This is fascinating to learn. The organization is priceless. Thank you so much and enjoy a great weekend! Coffee with Laura and Aaron is a good start for me here in southeast Michigan 🌸🌼🌷💚💛
Wow so jealous of that organized backstock! Aaron would like the YT channel, Farmhouse Vernacular. Paige and her husband Brandon are both efficiency engineers and they are amazing and hilarious to watch. 💜
Oh, how I wish you were my neighbors so you could help me. I have a drip system that was installed two years ago that runs from the back yard to the front yard. At the time I didn't have all the plants ready to install so now that I have all my plants I'm wondering how do I adjust the system for plants that require less water than others? Help? If I could start from scratch your video is definitely helpful. And, how did Aaron get the tubing to run underneath the walkway? Did he drill a hole underneath? I love organization containers for all sorts of crafts and when I saw Aaron's system on that dolly I could feel the adrenaline rush! Great video. Love to see you both on these videos.
Just loved this video, a lot of information that I was needing, also 34:21 Aaron is right that that filter is for retains particulates : A particle is a small object but a particulate is made of one or more particles either combining to form a particle or created from one or more particles and liquids.
Your videos on drip are always the most clear and easy to understand, thank you for that. You have given me confidence to run drip in all my flower beds and even to my garden to garden about 200 feet away from the house. It's so nice knowing that everything is getting watered and not having to take the time to do it.
I am loving Aaron using the Milwaukee tool boxes! My husband is a Race-car driver and I am an owner and manager of a grassroots racing team. We use the Milwaukee system to organize and haul all our pit equipment and tools to remote racing locations. My head mechanic loves them. I know you guys love DeWalt for your power tools but we have had great luck with the Milwaukee battery system even through a long weekend of racing. So satisfying to have a well organized and functional tool box! Good work Aaron! 💜💜💜
He's like a kid in a candy store :) its that BEAUTIFUL - I feel the same way when I get organized soooo happy for you guys :) what a great idea to share ...Glenda
Excellent video!!! Super helpful! It's so great when you and Aaron do videos together. We get double the knowledge! Loovve Aaron's organization. I showed it to my husband cause he likes the organization too. It's because of ya'll sharing your experience with driplines that we were able to set up something for our home. We don't have a sprinkler system so we use the timers. Life is grand! ☺️
I finally put a drip in my veggie garden this year. It was so easy after watching your video's, so thank you for that. I want the hubby to put water to the front of the house now for the regular gardens. Not having to water 100+ hostas and 50+ elephant ears by hand would be great. Of course there is many more plants now thanks to Laura and Aaron lol. Thanks for sharing as always!
Aaron & Laura ….your garden IS NOT your average garden ….I love every video and watching this one !i wasn’t one bit tired …cause y’all have done the work ..GOOD JOB …Everything is looking sooooo good ….I do hope you widen the bed along the front brick walk tho.so much to see…so much to do 🥰🥰
This is a great tutorial on drip irrigation! It is SO important to be organized with tools and equipment. It's frustrating to have to track down all of the tools needed for a job, when a simple organization system saves time and gives you peace of mind that tasks won't be overly time-consuming. I also like the fact that you had a LIST!!! I'm a list maker too. 📃📃📃 Five days ago, I made my list of garden tasks, and I've spent the week in the garden getting them done. I felt focused and accomplished when I could cross of an item on the list. ✅✅✅ There is still more to be done, as the list is never really done for us gardeners, but it is totally satisfying to have a sense of accomplishment at the end of the week!!
Watching this during an unreasonable heat wave in Michigan where it hit almost 90° yesterday. I found it hilarious how different our Zone 6 experience is! p.s. I can always tell Russell from Cheddar by his socks and thumbs! 😂
I love hearing his voice gradually get more and more excited as hes explaining and showing things hahaha I love how passionate you both are about the things you do 💕
Which splitter at the faucet do you find is the best? All the ones I’ve tried previously will start failing in one manner or another. Great video. So love seeing you guys working together. Y’all’s parents did a grand job teaching you both how to communicate!
@@mauison thx. Yes. But I’ve also had them fail at the switch-lever, the one that turns on and off one run or another. Maybe it’s just my “good” fortune. 🧐
@@astorybookfinish5055 it's not just you. I have been using splitters for over 20 years and even with the tape, and replacing the gaskets, I always deal with leaks, too, even at the faucet handle. I just bought a new splitter for setting up my pot irrigation for this year so I can't say if this one is going to be better or not but this time I bought an aqua Joe. I feel like I have tried every brand commonly available.
Laura.Aaron...your irrigation system is a complete puzzle but then again I live in Ireland so plenty of rain and I find it so amusing when you enjoy the rain so much ! ! We all have our gardening challenges...love your videos..
Blackwidow freak out!🕷🕸 Got to admire your self control Laura! And no gloves..lol! I can't continue until they are no longer! Do you ever worry about losing your setting on your beautiful ring? 💍💎You have so many plants..containers to look through! I would love a drip system..it would save so much! Love seeing you two work together..you are so blessed!
The king and queen of drip irrigation! I have learned soooo much from you two over the past few years-I'm not kidding! You explain things so thoroughly and I have linked all your drip videos on a google doc and watch them over and over again- I love having a drip system- it is so worth the effort! THANK YOU!
It's so cool to see how you all organize and especially so to have Aaron show us. Am I the only one that doesn't know what that little roof with the wood shake like feature in the garden bed is? Has that always been there and I just now noticed? Thanks again for all you teach us, I love taking my lunch break from grading or other school stuff to just relax and watch you garden. I'm a much better gardener now because of you!
Aaron don’t feel bad! My husband is a carpenter and swears by dewalt but also has TONS of the pack out crates and organizers from Milwaukee. It’s incredible how much help the right system is. He’s mounted a smaller box like the top of your system to the inside of my pickup tailgating to store ratchet straps and bungee cords in case I need to pick up things and strap it all down when I’m out and about.
Drip was very intimidating, but last year I bit the bullet and just went for it. It was such a game changer!! I'm super busy, so taking watering off my schedule freed up so much time. I now enjoy my gardens so much more!!
Thank you guys so much for a detailed video on how to install my own drip system. I was in the dark about it but you guys made the process simple enough for me!!!! 5 star video
Yes, thank you, super helpful information on drip system. Also having all the tools and parts needed on hand where you can actually find them is good advice for all projects not just drip systems, I spend more time looking for tools and parts around my homestead sometimes than doing the project. I always have to go to all the buildings searching to see which building I left a tool or the supplies. I still haven't got settled from my move last year. I'd love to build a large workshop/garage where I could have everything in one place.
Aaron, you're giving off "Tim The Tool Man" vibes this morning...Love It! I appreciate the organization! The way that Aaron and Laura take us along and teach us so many garden skills makes morning coffee even better!
Such a fantastic video! Thank you so much for putting this together. I walked through Bunnings *Australian Home Depot* today and I headed down the irrigation aisle, I confidently selected every single coupler, hose, staples, drip tube and poly pipe that I needed.

I have no idea how to get drip to my pots from the house spigot across the concrete patio. :/

@@alcg3981 thank you Alysen ❤️ I am a trial and error type of gal myself and I like to get things done instead of asking for help often as well. We have a 1 year old daughter and it's my goal to raise her to be a strong, independent, capable woman!
@@sunshineyellow707 Good For You!
I love having Aaron on the channel! He has a natural teaching style and is easy to listen to! Great info too!!
Aaron in his happy place, he’s so good at organisation and set up. Where would we be without the Aaron’s in our lives? Love the new system and it’ll save so much time in the coming months. Good job Aaron.
I’ve never seen a couple so excited about drip irrigation fittings and a Milwaukee pack out 😂 how cute! ///side note I have a Milwaukee pack out myself for my electrical and cable tools and fittings at work and I love it!!
Omg…I have a Dewalt pack out system like this that my husband "stole". He "gave" me his old Milwaukee system JUST LIKE THIS ONE!!! And I have all my craft stuff in it! Lol. I laughed when you said it. 🤣🥰 I love this video. Organization is my jam.
That was what I thought the second I saw it... "crafts" (though maybe overkill) and then Laura said it. I knew I wasn't crazy (or at least I was in good company if I was! )
Fathers Day coming up, i think ill get this... thank you!
Aaron you are a life saver! I literally had an amazon order open and was going to click submit when this popped up. I am order drip irrigation parts and tubing for my mother in-law's garden. I've never ran drip before, but built confidence watching Laura. Needless to say this video was perfectly timed and saved me a lot of hassle. Now I'm sure I got all the parts. Great explanation on everything to do with drip 👏. I really appreciate it 👍🏽
When I saw the tile I knew it was my lucky day! Two of my most burning questions answered in one video! 1) Drip line 💧 AND 2) how to tell the cats 🐈 🐈 apart! ❤️Thank you, Laura and Aaron!
I betcha Aaron calls them "elbows" because once the 8 is attached, the hose itself looks like the crook of your arm! 💪 love it!
Hello joy what a lovely name
I got strawberry plants and saw your video on how to pot them and then saw the drip system which will be helpful for my 556 marigolds :D I’m really excited. I have to go to bed so I can get up early but I want to continue watching this video!
I like to hear about how to organize. It would be great to see how you’re garage is organized for motivation!
I learn so much from you both. After watching the most recent recap video I just want to encourage you to never feel like you’re being redundant when making videos. I feel like everyone learns something new from you with every video. Plus, who doesn’t need a nice refresher? I’ve seen you redo drip so many times but I still enjoy watching the video and learn something. You’re both igniting people’s passion for gardening. Whether they’ve never gardened before or just forgot how much they love it. I’d say the Lord is using you in a very impactful way 💕💕
*** WOW *** What an excellent powerful packed video! We/the GA family have always known that Aaron is "The SuperMan" with ANALYTICAL SKILLS! This video with ALL the educational lessons is just like Laura ~ when she PACKS all those plants in one pot ---- Aaron packed us all UP today. We stand AMAZED!!!
Shared on FB: with the heading: Aaron shares his knowledge.
I have just installed my first drip system in my greenhouse. You make it look so easy Aaron and Laura, lol!! It was definitely a learning curve trying to get the connections to not leak and the proper drip per hour emitters on everything! I have learnt so much from watching you guys work through all the different issues when dealing with drip! Thank you for sharing all your tips and tricks.
Oh my gosh! This was a priceless video. You have no idea how much you have helped me. My garden and I both thank you! BTW, it's nice to see Aaron getting more comfortable being on camera. You're doing a great job, Aaron. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us.
This is one of the videos we will come back to over and over again. Thank you for this reminder of all the parts and how they work. I ran drip last year to my entire garden bed in front of our house thanks to you guys. So appreciated. Laura you are right it's easy to add and take away each year once the hard stuff is done.
My husband is the head of maintenance for 10 apartment rental complexes (about 600 apartments) so his truck is FULL of tools. The pac-out system was a game changer for him. I then took over the Stanley carriers for my drip irrigation supplies. I love being able to carry it around to whatever landscape or container area I need to work in. It is because of your videos that I have drip running to EVERYTHING and I will never go without it again. Thank you for all you do for the gardening community!!
I love your channel , l love your work. I too have a huge yard and each time l see my self dream of a yard (and tools) like yours, l hear my wife go, " how are you going to pay for it". Immediately l snap out of it kikikiki🤣🤣🤣
Welcome to the Light Aaron, Welcome to Milwaukee!
One add - for pots, when I switch from the solid 1/4” to the line with emitters every 6”, I put in an inline on/off valve. It’s great to be able to turn off a pot in between plantings and also to reduce for those plants that need less water then others.
Thank you for the hint, that is a great idea!
I do this too . . . It’s SO worth the small additional cost!!!
Thank you for this info! We took a trip to Home Depot last night and bought a couple of these Milwaukee packout’s . Now the shed won’t be littered with the dozens of plastic bins we were using to store our supplies
This cabinet is fantastic! As an organizer myself, I am talking to the screen saying “Let me get my label maker and make some labels for each section!” Hahaha! Ahhh gardening and organizing! I am in heaven! Great job guys. Love to see couples sharing their passions together!
@Crystal Clear Life, I commented to them, that they need to draw straws to see who got stuck having to make labels for everything... 😂🤣😂🤣
Thank you so much, Aaron and Laura, for including these types of repair things in your videos! Seeing you guys show us the tools and materials and how to make simple repairs is so helpful and gives me confidence to figure out the workings of my property- structural, electrical, mechanical, all the things. Thank you! 🤗💖
Thank you for sharing such useful information! We appreciate that you humbly and gently remind us that no one starts out as an "expert".
I like to see you and Aaron working together on a project! Thanks so much for showing how to sit-up drip to our containers!
I can’t begin to thank you for going step by step. Although I started my drip system a couple of years ago & this video just completely & thoroughly explains the process. I started as you said… I went back & fourth to the store buying the various drip, emitters, tubing & connectors!! Then just dumped it all in a plastic shoe box. So now I’m going to invest in a proper container! Getting organized is definitely a game changer. Greetings from sunny California👍🏼👍🏼👏👏👏💐!
Thanks to you guys this is my 3rd season with drip in my garden. Game changer! Last year I bought my husband a box like the top one for his garage fasteners. After organizing his pieces and parts, I realized it would be perfect for my drip supplies so I bought one for me. Works like a charm!
I live in a part of the country that gets enough rain that our garden doesn’t require drip, but after watching this and y’all’s videos in general, I want to run drip to everything! Thank you for thinking to do a video like this. The nuts-and-bolts-type things are just as import (maybe even more important) as seeing pretty plants to making sure we can all be as successful as possible in our gardens. The entire world has more beautiful landscaping because of y’all!
Haha can totally relate to "I don't really need it but it looks like FUN!" :D
Good morning, Laura and Aaron! So nice to have you both in a video together!
I want to add an observation I have made when using drip. Always punch connectors on side of hose. There is a tendency to punch hole on top but inserting connectors on side prevents damage if one steps on the hose.
Perfect timing for this video...THANK YOU!!! I have been wanting to run drip irrigation for a while so my plants are watered consistently, but was so overwhelmed by the topic.
I feed stuff up after the fact all the time using a guide. Nice job guys!
Love this!!!😍. I’m pretty sure we’re going to be getting this storage system. Hubby is already online 😄. Plus he’s going to practice in the raised veggie beds to start our very first drip system. Thanks for the confidence booster.
Great informative video. My husband and I owned an irrigation contracting business for many years. The info in this video was spot on! The best advice from Aaron; know when to hire a professional and what you can do yourself. We were hired several times a year by DIYers who tried and failed to install their own irrigation systems. It’s not rocket science. But, you do have to know what you’re doing. It ended up costing them more money in the long run.
Your organizational plan for the 1/4" drip system is brilliant! I've been using a plastic box to hold my 1/4" piece-parts, which is a complete mess. Yours is so well organized, that I'm going to upgrade mine to something similar. Thank you!!!
I was wincing throughout because this is my least favorite chore in the garden...it's as if you minded me I really need to eat my vegetables. The new organization system obviously makes the whole process less painless, for sure. You both are so awesome in that you've perfected your storage to make "eating your vegetables" so easy. Thank you for your amazing inspiration, including spider dominance!!!❤
I always enjoy starting my day with a wonderful family living the dream.
My husband is a plumber. That system would work so well on his truck. I need to show him this video!
Thankyou for sharing … we in Australia are on Metric measurements as you are the old scale of Gallons … but who cares it all works the same , great storage unit 🙌😍🧤👒🐨🦘🇦🇺Karen from Australia 😎🍂
I had no interest in gardening until I found you. I am 59 and for the first time planted tulips, from Colorblends, in my Mom's front yard. She loved it. Your videos inspire such joy and excitement for my new favorite thing to do. I even enjoy weeding. I put on one my favorite GA maintenance videos and get to it. Thank you for giving me the confindence to try something new! Please realize what a blessing you guys are to so many 😊
I've been running drip for the first time this spring to my flower beds and pots as well as my new raised vegetable beds . After watching you do it for a few years I finally got the courage to tackle it myself. I have a full time job with an ag retail business and of course spring is our busiest time of year, so I work on it a little time and hopefully will have it done in a week or so. Thanks for all you do and show on your channel.
The organization in the barn and of the drip irrigation supplies is inspiring! My garage is in desperate need of organization, and seeing how you have all your yard tools hanging on the wall in the barn in the background got all my wheels turning with ideas. Thanks for showing this!
This is my first year getting my flower garden, vegetable garden and pots set up on drip and it is a game changer!!! And YES Laura, we made several tips to get everything all set up!! Totally worth it!!
This video is extremely helpful! I’m getting ready to fix and apply new irrigation in our new home. I’ve never had irrigation before so no clue on what was what or how to do this. I do appreciate your educational videos and tours, they’re so helpful. Thank you for all you do! I’ve learned and gained so much inspiration from your videos. Always love waking up with coffee and sweet Laura videos! ❤😊
Last summer, I installed drip to some
containers from our existing drip tubing, to great success. This year, I've had to move things around, but I'm ready with my supplies to get drip to the new locations. You give me such confidence to try these projects on my own instead of having to call an irrigation company!
Now that’s what I call organization! 💪🏻bravo
I don’t have drip, wish I did…but my garden is small and possibly not worth it. However, I found this video fascinating and very informative! The “technical/mechanical” side of gardening is not as beautiful or as fun as planting the plants, but so very necessary for the plants to thrive! Lovely to see you and Aaron working together on this project, I wonder if you had to both look at you calendars and schedule this?
Your container irrigation advice over the years is one reason our rented garden looks so much better in the summer than it did when we moved in. You provide so much useful information not available elsewhere. I also love the way you invest in such beautiful containers. I feel that I can grow pretty much anything now.
Thanks to Laura drip was added last year to the container garden. I love the blue tooth timer I added that can track water usage via my phone. It also monitors the weather and if it rains will not water on those days. PS Thanks Aaron for explaining the parts and the organization case. I appreciate the input and feel I can make an educated guess for what I need in my garden.
Very nice organization setup for the drip system! What a time-saver!! 🎯 Everything looks so neat and tidy!!!!!
Perfect timing...I got a starter drip irrigation system for Christmas and have been trying to figure out how to install it this week. I want to add a timer but was confused on what to do and trying to figure out what parts I needed.. So thanks for the lesson. I have a little more confidence in myself to do it.
Love the organizer. I have something similar for my drip fittings. So much better than the “all the small bags in a bin” I had on a shelf. 🙂 I’ve wanted something similar for PVC fittings so I don’t have to run to the store every time.
Oh my gosh Aaron I purchased a system just like that two years ago and I love it for my irrigation set up also. Those systems are a game changer when working on water lines and doing installations. Anyone who is a serious gardener should invest in one. Thanks for sharing.
I am currently researching drip irrigation after watching your videos. You have convinced me it's worth the investment.
Hello dear
It was awesome seeing you and Aaron working together. ❤️
I'm a part time crafter! Years ago my husband was a handyman. I bought him a rolling cart similar to this but smaller, but he never used it! So I confiscated it back 🤭😆 and turned it into my craft supply cart!
☕️Good Friday to all watching and Laura and Aaron. This is fascinating to learn. The organization is priceless. Thank you so much and enjoy a great weekend! Coffee with Laura and Aaron is a good start for me here in southeast Michigan 🌸🌼🌷💚💛
Fantastic video, thank you both! Loved Aaron's enthusiasm for parts organization. It rivaled his excitement at the tree farm. :)
Wow so jealous of that organized backstock! Aaron would like the YT channel, Farmhouse Vernacular. Paige and her husband Brandon are both efficiency engineers and they are amazing and hilarious to watch. 💜
Hello dear
Oh, how I wish you were my neighbors so you could help me. I have a drip system that was installed two years ago that runs from the back yard to the front yard. At the time I didn't have all the plants ready to install so now that I have all my plants I'm wondering how do I adjust the system for plants that require less water than others? Help? If I could start from scratch your video is definitely helpful. And, how did Aaron get the tubing to run underneath the walkway? Did he drill a hole underneath? I love organization containers for all sorts of crafts and when I saw Aaron's system on that dolly I could feel the adrenaline rush! Great video. Love to see you both on these videos.
To someone with OCD that cart is a thing of true beauty!😍
Just loved this video, a lot of information that I was needing, also 34:21 Aaron is right that that filter is for retains particulates : A particle is a small object but a particulate is made of one or more particles either combining to form a particle or created from one or more particles and liquids.
Your videos on drip are always the most clear and easy to understand, thank you for that. You have given me confidence to run drip in all my flower beds and even to my garden to garden about 200 feet away from the house. It's so nice knowing that everything is getting watered and not having to take the time to do it.
I am loving Aaron using the Milwaukee tool boxes! My husband is a Race-car driver and I am an owner and manager of a grassroots racing team. We use the Milwaukee system to organize and haul all our pit equipment and tools to remote racing locations. My head mechanic loves them. I know you guys love DeWalt for your power tools but we have had great luck with the Milwaukee battery system even through a long weekend of racing. So satisfying to have a well organized and functional tool box! Good work Aaron! 💜💜💜
He's like a kid in a candy store :) its that BEAUTIFUL - I feel the same way when I get organized soooo happy for you guys :) what a great idea to share ...Glenda
I’m literally watching one of your old videos on setting up drip & this popped up!!! Are you a mind reader? 🤣
Excellent video!!! Super helpful! It's so great when you and Aaron do videos together. We get double the knowledge! Loovve Aaron's organization. I showed it to my husband cause he likes the organization too. It's because of ya'll sharing your experience with driplines that we were able to set up something for our home. We don't have a sprinkler system so we use the timers. Life is grand! ☺️
Talk about being a game changer! Drip irrigation (with ALL its PARTS) really is the bomb!
I finally put a drip in my veggie garden this year. It was so easy after watching your video's, so thank you for that. I want the hubby to put water to the front of the house now for the regular gardens. Not having to water 100+ hostas and 50+ elephant ears by hand would be great. Of course there is many more plants now thanks to Laura and Aaron lol. Thanks for sharing as always!
Aaron & Laura ….your garden IS NOT your average garden ….I love every video and watching this one !i wasn’t one bit tired …cause y’all have done the work ..GOOD JOB …Everything is looking sooooo good ….I do hope you widen the bed along the front brick walk tho.so much to see…so much to do 🥰🥰
This is a great tutorial on drip irrigation! It is SO important to be organized with tools and equipment. It's frustrating to have to track down all of the tools needed for a job, when a simple organization system saves time and gives you peace of mind that tasks won't be overly time-consuming. I also like the fact that you had a LIST!!! I'm a list maker too. 📃📃📃 Five days ago, I made my list of garden tasks, and I've spent the week in the garden getting them done. I felt focused and accomplished when I could cross of an item on the list. ✅✅✅ There is still more to be done, as the list is never really done for us gardeners, but it is totally satisfying to have a sense of accomplishment at the end of the week!!
Cumulatively is a fancy word too! You two are a "particulately" great pair! I really enjoy your videos, fancy or plain!
You mean "particularly" Right?
@@mariafolch8067, she was using particulately in reference to Aaron's word particulates in describing the filter in his new irrigation timer.
@@kimberleyfrasquillo3684 Thank you for the explanation. That word is new to me.😉
Watching this during an unreasonable heat wave in Michigan where it hit almost 90° yesterday. I found it hilarious how different our Zone 6 experience is!
p.s. I can always tell Russell from Cheddar by his socks and thumbs! 😂
Another heard from hot Michigan!
You both make it look so easy!!
LOVE this video and an first time on fixing drip system!!
I love hearing his voice gradually get more and more excited as hes explaining and showing things hahaha I love how passionate you both are about the things you do 💕
Which splitter at the faucet do you find is the best? All the ones I’ve tried previously will start failing in one manner or another.
Great video.
So love seeing you guys working together. Y’all’s parents did a grand job teaching you both how to communicate!
If you're talking about the splitter leaking, have you tried teflon tape around the threads?
@@mauison thx. Yes. But I’ve also had them fail at the switch-lever, the one that turns on and off one run or another. Maybe it’s just my “good” fortune. 🧐
@@astorybookfinish5055 it's not just you. I have been using splitters for over 20 years and even with the tape, and replacing the gaskets, I always deal with leaks, too, even at the faucet handle. I just bought a new splitter for setting up my pot irrigation for this year so I can't say if this one is going to be better or not but this time I bought an aqua Joe. I feel like I have tried every brand commonly available.
Thank you so much showing I plan to doing my garden too but where gone start I don’t now your videos so help thank you both
Laura.Aaron...your irrigation system is a complete puzzle but then again I live in Ireland so plenty of rain and I find it so amusing when you enjoy the rain so much ! ! We all have our gardening challenges...love your videos..
Blackwidow freak out!🕷🕸 Got to admire your self control Laura! And no gloves..lol! I can't continue until they are no longer!
Do you ever worry about losing your setting on your beautiful ring? 💍💎You have so many plants..containers to look through!
I would love a drip system..it would save so much! Love seeing you two work together..you are so blessed!
The king and queen of drip irrigation! I have learned soooo much from you two over the past few years-I'm not kidding! You explain things so thoroughly and I have linked all your drip videos on a google doc and watch them over and over again- I love having a drip system- it is so worth the effort! THANK YOU!
💚🙌🌿
It's so cool to see how you all organize and especially so to have Aaron show us. Am I the only one that doesn't know what that little roof with the wood shake like feature in the garden bed is? Has that always been there and I just now noticed? Thanks again for all you teach us, I love taking my lunch break from grading or other school stuff to just relax and watch you garden. I'm a much better gardener now because of you!
Aaron don’t feel bad! My husband is a carpenter and swears by dewalt but also has TONS of the pack out crates and organizers from Milwaukee. It’s incredible how much help the right system is. He’s mounted a smaller box like the top of your system to the inside of my pickup tailgating to store ratchet straps and bungee cords in case I need to pick up things and strap it all down when I’m out and about.
Drip was very intimidating, but last year I bit the bullet and just went for it. It was such a game changer!! I'm super busy, so taking watering off my schedule freed up so much time. I now enjoy my gardens so much more!!
Thank you guys so much for a detailed video on how to install my own drip system. I was in the dark about it but you guys made the process simple enough for me!!!!
5 star video
Yes, thank you, super helpful information on drip system. Also having all the tools and parts needed on hand where you can actually find them is good advice for all projects not just drip systems, I spend more time looking for tools and parts around my homestead sometimes than doing the project. I always have to go to all the buildings searching to see which building I left a tool or the supplies. I still haven't got settled from my move last year. I'd love to build a large workshop/garage where I could have everything in one place.
💚🙌🌿
You guys are rock stars!
The dynamic duo is such a joy to watch! Informative and friendly advice is so welcome. Thank you for showing us how to work together!
