Ive just ordered a retractable hose for my tunnels too Scott. should make life easier but I will still have the soaker hose down and use it as a backup. Great video and it should make life easier for you in your greenhouse too
Good stuff. I have a watering wand on all my hoses. I like it because I can place the head under the plant with ease and prevent wetting the leaves and splash back.
My garden is cut off from the water source from the house by a driveway and patio, to water I have no options but to drag out the hose. Fortunately my sump pump reservoir is working for the 1st time in 3 years, 56" of snow this winter to thank for that. I too rather enjoy watering by hand, lets me see what is going on with the plants and pollinators in the garden. In areas where the hose will not reach a 5 gallon bucket and a watering can gets the job done, just with a bit more exercise. Your greenhouse looks awesome! Stay Well!!!
I watched one of your older videos with the greenhouse in the background. What a big operation. Assuming it is same place. It sure does get hot in a greenhouse though. We finally got 65 degree weather in Oregon and it was so humid inside mine. I got my kit from Vevor. It is a 14'x7'x7'. Also got fabric pots so I can drag them around. Great video, will look for a bigger hat. 🥵
my allotment has no tap water. So I have set up hoses underground to transport water from where the water butts are to troughs in the further sections. that way I can dunk watering cans in quickly to water plants without having to go back and forth. the air pressure is enough to fill the troughs once the syphon is set up and a simple valve is all that is needed to stop the flow when the trough is full.
We installed a frost free tap all the way out to where our greenhouse was going to be built before we did anything else. Then we built our greenhouse around it so that ithe tap would be located in the corner of the completed greenhouse. We bought a lightweight coil hose which stores easily on a hose stand we installed next to the tap. It's been a great solution for use!
We did almost the same thing! I have the same greenhouse. I ran a semi-underground run to the greenhouse, did an aboveground cement block with a hose bib and then attached a curled boat washing hose that can stretch the inside length and to outside garden area. I don't do inground planting inside the greenhouse though. I do grobuckets instead.
Nice and convenient! Speaking of the hassle of watering, I have to carry jugs of water to my community garden plot until about late May, when they finally turn on the well pump. But, I shouldn't complain, at least we have a well pump.
I did mine with shallow buried PVC from the house to the distribution point. With a shutoff at the house hose connection. That is where qualty multi valve splitters are handy. It works if you have permanent connection points, and a hose won't decay in the sun.
UGH, THE HOSE!😂😂. I fight with them all summer. It’s a bit better with Flexzilla. This is a great idea!! When I remodel the greenhouse I’m definitely considering this as I’ve seen them 3 times in different videos. I wipe out plants all the time as I only have a few RBs and most in ground rows. This year we will work on irrigation and I love quick connects! To have a main that can hook up easily and to a lighter more flexible hose is a WIN!! You hit a point I struggle with and that is to keep more area around plants moist. Drip irrigation just goes straight down and the rest of the area turns hydrophobic. It really is key to keeping things evenly watered not just one spot. Fine for maybe woody plants and pots, but not the garden unless the drip irrigation is close enough, then maybe. I really have to have it fit the area because I tried soaker hoses and end up with it too long or too short=too much or not enough water. Hope we get it done for some parts as I don’t have enough time to get it all done by hand before heat sets in and we are expanding the garden. The brand new lawnmower I have only used rarely the transmission went out and of course the warranty is up and Dixon sold out. So if they can’t make good products anymore I’m turning it all into garden. It’s so dry here we mow maybe once a month. I don’t think I would ever buy brand name mower again as I had an off brand that ran for years-With a bagger! Not happy. Thanks for the great idea!! Lol, one of the best things you’ve ever done😂😂
To be honest, I was hoping it was via rainwater using those buckets under the table as storage and a hose on that. With that said, this is another feasible option.
We catch water off the roof and use a sump pump and of course that involves electricity. I thought about the same thing with those barrels under workbench, but like now when it’s cold it would defeat the heat sink purpose.
If you've been watching multiple different gardening channels for any length of time, surely you've heard of Hose Link. I like the design of this Vevor better.
I ran water lines across my property (5 acres) digging ditches by hand 3 ft deep 350ft long ditch with a couple different faucets in a couple different places. I unfortunately don’t have a greenhouse yet. But I at least already got my water in the area where I want my greenhouse at! Digging the ditch in clay soil in the hot summer wasn’t no easy task either! Almost like breaking concrete! But sure nice not having to drag garden hoses for hundreds of feet to water the 5 acres so much now! Myself with being disabled, I need automatic watering as much as possible. If you do it yourself setting up automatic watering not too expensive to do. Again depending what’s considered expensive to each person of course? As well as how large your garden is? But there are a several methods to minimize watering too! As I know you know too! I’m still working on what works the best to keep my manual watering time to a minimum? It’s work in progress you might say! 😂 trial and error and hopefully improving each year? By the time I die hopefully I’ll have it figured out?
Hey Scott got my Planta Greenhouse almost finished, little things here an there to do. Now what do I do? I see your growing in ground in your greenhouse. Maybe there’s a in-depth how to use a green house video coming? Thank Carl
Hey Scott . I live behind the Royal Gorge in Colorado. We bought a green house like yours, now it’s time to set it up. I see you didn’t build a base foundation but put the legs into the ground. Did you cement them in or just bury them in the dirt? We can have some really strong winds here. Thank you for your passion and all the tips .
Hi, Carl. I buried all of the legs with the ""T-brace" at the bottom and they are very stable. I did encase the door frame legs in concrete for extra stability. It's held up to 75+mph winds so far with no problems.
forgot you can put lights and a heater then you can grow even in the winter i did that now i grow 12 months. I did solar and ran a extension cord in pvc 12 inch deep in ground to green house for my electric
I live in northeast pa zone 5b almost the same climate. My question is why waste half of your greenhouse for the bench when you could grow way more food with more bed space?
Because my winters are so long and I don't have electricity, I need a passive heat source to keep it warmer and the water barrels will help. The bench helps add space for seeding and hardening off.
@@GardenerScott on that note I can imagine your climate is much cooler at 7K altitude also, right? We all might be in similar zones, but we all have specific microclimates as well. I am trying an Eden Pure because I have one I don’t use and I know it is not rated for GH, but seems to work well. Hope it’s economical, we’ll see.🥴. Plan on remodeling the GH this year as polycarbonate panels need replaced. I have a lean to style we built against north garden shed. It stays quite warm with a bit of sun, but will incorporate a floor heat sink and we reclaimed some refrigerated panels for base. Hope to add solar and wind and these will all be the best thing I’ve done..at least as far as gardening goes😉
I have a small greenhouse and don't want a long hose or a bulky hose reel. I was planning on trying one of those 15' coil hoses (looks like a Slinky and a hose had a baby). Does anyone have experience with that style and how well they work?
I hate them. My folks had one and it blew. Good thing I was around to shut it off. I tried another brand and the pin hole is so small the pressure is minimal. If your watering just a few things by a patio ect. probably would be ok as they are light weight.
I used them before and loved them . I am very impatient with hose wrangling and found them easier to maneuver. I never had one blow like the other folks who responded but they do have a much shorter lifespan than regular hoses…
This is great info, thank you everyone. I think I'll try looking for a high quality one, if there is more of a commercial grade option, and give it a try knowing that the experiment might well fail. Looks like I might have to go with 25' for higher grade hoses.
We wired our shed with electrical wire in pvc buried, from house to the shed where we need flood light motion detectors. All up to code and safe for outdoor electricity. Our compost is behind the shed. Seriously considering a rain barrel out there too. City water contains chemicals that kill the good bacteria in our compost. Criminals with silver spoons in they mouths and the control they love. Voting won't get us out of the chit hole they have dug for us.
@@GardenerScott Why not just split the water at your outdoor faucet and bury a really thick commercial grade hose. I have a hose suited for that but I am undecided if I will actually do it or not.
@@matthewjbauer1990 I did a combination of splitter and PVC run. It has certainly been great so far until I can plan something more permanent like a separate spigot line to keep it off the house.
That’ll make life so much easier Scott. Having water at hand will just speed things up.

I BOUGHT A ADAPTOR THAT HAS 4 HOSES GOING OUT INSTEAD OF 1 FROM THE FAUCET ITS VERY EFFECIATE I LOVE IT........

Somebody was allowed to dig a well for a community garden? What country are you in?
@@smas3256 The community garden is on university property, and they had a well there for their garden.
I've been wanting to install something like that for a long time and watching this was the last straw . . . order placed!
That’s a nice system! I have a new greenhouse that’s twice as big as my current one. I’m still thinking about my watering method. Thanks for sharing.
I did mine with shallow buried PVC from the house to the distribution point. With a shutoff at the house hose connection. That is where qualty multi valve splitters are handy. It works if you have permanent connection points, and a hose won't decay in the sun.
I've swapped out hoses for metal ones that are lighter weight and easier to pull around or loop up for mowing. Old age and arthritis made me do it!!!

What a wonderful product! Thanks for sharing this 😊👩🌾
Thank You for the great idea. I think I could use that to extend a spigot in my garden.
I have a sink in my greenhouse and a Tuff Tote for a rain barrel that will feed it as soon as I get the time to hook it all up.
To be honest, I was hoping it was via rainwater using those buckets under the table as storage and a hose on that. With that said, this is another feasible option.
Good idea, but here in Colorado we don't get enough rain for that to be a viable option.
@GardenerScott true, at least not without a much bigger tank to gather for when it does rain I would guess.
We catch water off the roof and use a sump pump and of course that involves electricity. I thought about the same thing with those barrels under workbench, but like now when it’s cold it would defeat the heat sink purpose.
@@GardenerScott it probably stays warm enough this time of year that it wouldn’t freeze?
@dustyflats3832 if kept in green house and painted black it would stay warmer than outside temp so might not freeze
Great video, and thank you! I didn't even know this existed. The whole thing is nice and compact. I will definitely check this out!
If you've been watching multiple different gardening channels for any length of time, surely you've heard of Hose Link. I like the design of this Vevor better.

Great idea I went with another company gave better reviews. So far I am excited.
If you run electric or solar to your green houes you can put a sump pump in your water barrels and hook a hose to your pump.
My husband put electric in my greenhouse today to run my fans and not having all the cords laying around, next is a water line

I do have more videos coming, Carl.
I prefer doing water tubing all the garden. But, everyone like different colors.
Such a great idea and your sharing with us. Thank you for not keeping your secrets to yourself. I am curious what the blue barrels are for?
They are for water as a passive heat source.

Don't install hose hooks to the table, install a handrail, like the ones on a wood cooking stove. Will come in handy when you are almost 80 :)
A im replacing all the rubber hose with stainless steal hose tangle free they awesome so l;ight to......
Curious how well the Vivor model compares to the Hoselink. 🧐🤔
Had my hoselink for over 3 years now. Love it. Stays out in the hot California sun 100% of the time with no problems what so ever.
How are you liking your Planta greenhouse? I am in Cheyenne. Also a zone 5. Have you had to deal with any hail?
It's working fine so far. It's withstood hail and 75mph winds with no problem.
I just got my Plants Greenhouse finished. i too need some watering help. I have to run a hose about 50 plus feet. thanks
The hose in my greenhouse is connected to 75' of hose. I keep it connected the whole season,
Sir, what kind of water do you use. Im considering a Planta greenhouse as well. Thank you. Great video

It is 3 meters by 4 meters.
Thank you - just trying to decide which size I need and yours looks plenty big enough for me
@@GardenerScott I had to convert the meter into feet since I don't do metrics.
I've asked this before and can't find the answer...sorry to bother you again...what brand greenhouse do you use? Thank you.
It's a Planta Greenhouse.
What are you using the blue barrels for?
They hold water to help warm the greenhouse.
