Here's a great tip that really works good. Been designing lawn sprinklers for years. If you connect the opposite end of pipes from valve end together, you will have exact same pressure in every watering hole in pipes. Can fine tune system. Remove caps and install tees or 90s with little extra pipe.
Great set up!thanks for posting.being a plumber for many years,I feel the uncontrollable need to let you know that when your glueing pvc of any size always glue the hubs first,they dry at a slower rate than the stick of pvc itself. I know it’s trivial but if something unforeseen were to happen to slow you up connecting the fittings,it would buy you a little extra time to get things together. Again great video thanks.
если зарыть в землю, всю эту систему, на 35-40 см. получаешь меньше проблем с сорняком (до верху не проливаем) и меньше используется воды для полива, значительно. Да, и нет корки на поверхности грядки. Мульчируем сосновыми иголками и песня!!!
great video! how much water comes out of a hole in one hour? have you ever measured it? not when the holes are flowing fast but when they are dripping slow. please reply.
Thanks for the video, but with information videos, any kind of background music is a distraction. What I have found on my attempts at PVC irrigation systems is that the holes closest to the water inlet dispense plenty of water, but the far ends do not.
Hi Paul. Yes, even I get bothered listening to this video. It was one of my earlier. Seems with smaller holes the water dispenses fairly even. Thanks for watching
I've been considering a similar system but as a gravity flow system from a tank I collect rainwater in from my roof. Don't really understand why you'd use it with a pressurized system when you can use a sprinkler.
that nice video , i need quick help here , i was designing same project here but the difference is that i only have two rows where one line comes and splits to two side left and right side in the middle and the one waters half of the width the (left side )and the other half (right side) the width here is 1 meter and the place is about 20 meter long i used 3/4 inch PVC pipe . my question here is i want the water to spread evenly over the area and reach all the 20 meter long . what conditions should i consider to make that happen and what size of hole should i drill , how about the spacing between the holes i really need your help i am just an electrical engineer and dint know my way on water flow and everything. tell me what to do and consider . i appreciate in advance
Hi Henok, I used a 11/64 drill bit. I put 2 holes(to spray left and right) about 6” apart. As long as you have a open/shut valve on all outlet lines you can turn your main on and individually adjust the outlets. If you contact me by email I can send you detailed photos. My email is Billof_Rights@yahoo.com. Thanks for watching.
wow really that would be very nice thank you sir you are very kind man , so as you said i have sent you an email so if you sent me detailed and give me some comment on my design as well that would helpful , thank you
Hey, thanks for this video. I had a couple questions. What diameter holes did you drill in your tubes? In retrospect do you think that size worked well? Did you line the holes up, or stagger them back and forth a little off an axis? What was the issue you had with the main connection leaking under pressure? I presume you glued and Teflon taped where applicable - what went wrong there? Also, you have a notch in your otherwise rectangular garden shape - are you planning to put something there? Why the indent? Thanks again for the sharing!
I used a 1/16 bit. I drilled straight every 6 inches, then turned the pipe about 3/4 inch and did another row 6 inches apart that was staggered to the first row. The leak is still there. It's not bad enough to bother. It must be a defect in the part. I glued it to the pipe, but the leak is in its parts. The notch is to avoid a sewer pipe entrance. Thanks for commenting.
+Billof Rights Thanks for letting me know. That looks like a nice system. Drilling those holes must have been pretty... tedious. Though maybe not as tedious as the time saved from having to stand there w a hole or watering can! Great work.
I wanted to control the water per row depending on the plants. It also allowed me to shut off water where not needed. Is it necessary? No, but an option.
I’m able to run all of them you see in the video with ease. Each line is about 9 ft. The system works great for me. Once I got my individual valves figured out, I just turn the hose on at the house and let it run for about an hour in the evening. Thanks for commenting
Billof Rights, What is that little tune you have playing? I think it's pretty awesome. Do you have the title or a web link? Thank you. Also great project. Thank you for taking the time making it
Sprinklers waste water. I can water just the ground and only where needed and how much needed per area. When I turn the system on, I don’t have to go see if a sprinkler is at the right amount. All that? Was nothing but a chicken wing to build.
Sprinklers are the worse idea in the garden. Unless you water grass on a lawn, should never water a garden from above. Wastes water and encourages foliar disease.

The music had a cool beat and was easy to dance to.

Thanks for the tip.
Just passing through. Saw your comment and found it helpful. Thanks!
Invest in a set of ratcheting pipe cutters if you're cutting 1" PVC or smaller. Much easier than sawing by hand, and no plastic "sawdust" to clean up!

This system is working great and has simplified my watering.
Hey have you ever used leftover bait as compost it works great
I have 👍🏼
Great in formation thank you sir
great video! how much water comes out of a hole in one hour? have you ever measured it? not when the holes are flowing fast but when they are dripping slow. please reply.
I never tried to measure it. Thanks
ye music would put ye mad , could not take things in, other than that, would be good , good work to ye Sir, looking good thanks
Thanks Jim
Don’t need the loud music. Can’t hear you.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! About how much did it cost to make and how well did it work for you?
It’s fairly cheap. The most cost is in the values.
Thanks for the video, but with information videos, any kind of background music is a distraction.
What I have found on my attempts at PVC irrigation systems is that the holes closest to the water inlet dispense plenty of water, but the far ends do not.
Hi Paul. Yes, even I get bothered listening to this video. It was one of my earlier.
Seems with smaller holes the water dispenses fairly even. Thanks for watching
OK ... my next version will be tiny holes. :)
I've been considering a similar system but as a gravity flow system from a tank I collect rainwater in from my roof.
Don't really understand why you'd use it with a pressurized system when you can use a sprinkler.
beautiful music
Thanks jp
great video. i will do it
What size of drill bit do you used for making holes
1/4" drill bit. Makes a small hole that works quite well.
Can you reach the middle of this bed to harvest?
Yes, thanks.
that nice video , i need quick help here , i was designing same project here but the difference is that i only have two rows where one line comes and splits to two side left and right side in the middle and the one waters half of the width the (left side )and the other half (right side) the width here is 1 meter and the place is about 20 meter long i used 3/4 inch PVC pipe .
my question here is i want the water to spread evenly over the area and reach all the 20 meter long .
what conditions should i consider to make that happen and what size of hole should i drill , how about the spacing between the holes
i really need your help i am just an electrical engineer and dint know my way on water flow and everything. tell me what to do and consider .
i appreciate in advance

+Billof Rights Thanks for letting me know. That looks like a nice system. Drilling those holes must have been pretty... tedious. Though maybe not as tedious as the time saved from having to stand there w a hole or watering can! Great work.
That’s a lot of ball valves, why wouldn’t you just use the 1st one or maybe 2. Seems a bit excessive
I wanted to control the water per row depending on the plants. It also allowed me to shut off water where not needed. Is it necessary? No, but an option.
How many of the PVC pipes will your hose run at one time and are they 10 feet in length?
Thanks, very helpful video!

what soil do you use?
I add manure and composted grass and leaves. Thanks
@@borfishing7690 thank you for the reply, the video's good and helpful by the way
Billof Rights, What is that little tune you have playing? I think it's pretty awesome. Do you have the title or a web link? Thank you. Also great project. Thank you for taking the time making it
It is one of the clips that come with the editing software iMovie.
nice
What size holes did you drill? What was the spacing on the holes?
I used a 11/64 drill bit. I put two holes that angled left and right ever 6 inches. Thanks for watching
hell of a lot more work than just a regular system with a valve and a few pop up heads.Weird.Music is sooooo horrible
A lot better then a drip, soaker hose or any other type system. This method is also cheaper.
Turn the music off
What? You don’t like it? Lol. Seriously, I wish I could.
can you send me a copy of that music? I want to use it at my next fiesta. LOL
Very funny. Well at least I’ve moved on to a better software with decent music. Thanks for watching
Funny mr.
Turn the volume down if you don’t like the music!
What have you learned from this system?
WOW, all that?!?!? When you could hook a sprinkler to a hose and water that whole garden at once????????????? Maybe he hasn't heard of "sprinklers"??
Sprinklers waste water. I can water just the ground and only where needed and how much needed per area. When I turn the system on, I don’t have to go see if a sprinkler is at the right amount.

Sprinklers are the worse idea in the garden. Unless you water grass on a lawn, should never water a garden from above. Wastes water and encourages foliar disease.
You can turn the holes down and trickle the water.
Love your project Bill, was replying to @thesgtsahdes

music is distracting , annoying and unnecessary.
Came close to slitting my wrist...
Your music ruins this video.
I don’t disagree
