Your videos are NEVER boring. I love them, my family loves them as do all my friends. Thank you!!!!
I've watched this video at least 5 times trying to prepare myself to do the drip system throughout my whole flower beds and veggie/fruit garden. You stated that it probably seemed boring to watch/not the most exciting video but for someone like me, that is exactly the opposite. I've watched the professional videos and they don't explain nearly as well as you do. I learn so much with every video you do, drip installation included. I've gardened since I was 8 years old and am now 83. You are a wonderful teacher in the gardening world. Now, you have inspired me to do that drip system. Come fall that is my big project so I have it all done before Spring. I figure if I just do one line a day I should be finished by February. Thank you for the wonderful service you and Aaron offer so many times a week for us gardening nuts. Oh, and I do believe you two have the cutest kids I've seen in a long time. Benjamin is fascinating me with how his vocabulary is increasing by leaps and bounds.
Never boring! That Russell is a hard working kitty! ❤️❤️😊
As someone who is planning on buying their first house irrigation is thrilling. I'm more of veggie grower, but I'm learning the art of landscape design.
I just found your channel this winter and have binged watch almost all your videos so far. Thank you for being so informative and knowledgeable! You have help me cope threw a long cold winter here in Michigan and I can’t thank you enough for the motivation you’ve given me to get out in my gardens and get my butt to work!!!!!🌸🌷🌹🌻🌼
The little snippet in the beginning was really cute. Great editing, Aaron! I LOVE informative videos. When I have questions I immediately go to your channel to see if you have talked about a "mundane" subject. Often I find you are the only one who has a good quality video. Keep them coming!
All of your videos addressing drip irrigation have been extremely helpful. I have learned a lot. Your clear explanations and excellent video shots (thank you Aaron) have helped to make the subject less intimidating. Oh, I have plans for next year! Thank you.
Laura, will you please talk about the tie in to your water supply as well as talk about water pressure. Thanks! This was a very informative video.
Drip line irrigation is my favorite subject right now! Thanks for the video!
After about 42 trips to the (unhelpful, unknowledgeable) big box retailer, I’m so happy to have found your channel. Definitely will be taking a different approach to the rest of my flowerbeds! You’re so clear and quick with your explanations and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
Not boring at all. Just what I needed to see and learn from. This is good stuff. Thanks. Keep it coming
I found you when researching plants I wanted to order for my pots/garden about a week ago. You are so pleasant & informative! We live in a dry, hot as hades, clay infused rocky limestone area of Texas. I love your videos! I want to put in drip irrigation in the two back L shaped beds that I have finally cleared of roots from the ornamental grass & boxwood type shrubs that were there before we moved in 12 years ago. I wasn’t sure how to tap into the pvc underground pipes & I wouldn’t have known not to run drip system from the one pop up sprinkler & 3 risers that are in each bed now, but instead to cap off all but one of them. I hate the way they pour out water & whack the plants. I’ve replanted the beds except for the blue native salvias I kept and absolutely have to put in the drip system asap so your video really helped!
Irrigation is super important!! Thanks to you I was able to start my irrigation system and was able to understand it!! It was such a daunting task and don’t have the budget to have someone install it, so THANK YOU!! I’ve learned soooooo much in your channel!!
I love that cat. I think it's great that he's always around!
Not boring at all! Loved it!
Great video! I'm new to gardening so I for one want to know every little detail about everything. Your channel has become my everything. Although I had previously researched affordable irrigation solutions I still thoroughly enjoyed the video and felt kind of good that I knew exactly what you were talking about without it being a total breaking news event for me!🤣🤣
For those of us in non high desert areas with normal water you could always tap into your existing sprinkler system and use something like Mister Landscraper (Lowes) to add actual plant specific sprinklers for your beds. Or if you don't have an existing sprinkler system you can hook it up to a faucet with timer. Thank u Laura for all you do. Monique, Macon GA
No it’s not boring
It’s important information to know
Thanks for sharing
I am looking at putting this in my landscape just to take care of watering when I can't find time to do it. Thank you!!
Not boring very much needed Thank you 👍🙂
I'm always so amazed by your knowledge and no-how !
Thanks for sharing your irrigation system and tips! We live in a very sandy soil area with mostly full sun so this is very helpful.
Hi Laura! Here in NC we’ve had some rain so plants are looking really good just finishing watering the ones under patio and porch. We are considering running lines in our garden just becouse we plan to travel this summer. So thank you so much for this video. Nice helper there good job Russel!❤️🌹🌷🌹🌷
Thank you so much for this! You make it so easy and I LOVE your channel! You are so inspiring. Please keep going! ❤️
Agree with all you said Sara! Echoing your sentiments over here!
Good idea I like that a lot better
Thank you Laura. I need to get drip irrigation done for all my new plants now and this is very helpful info. Just the thought of running an individual drip for each plant separately is so overwhelming. I'm gonna try this out. Now I also know what all things I need to buy for this. :)
I'm doing this same thing this week and I got the idea from you. Thanks for that! I had the same problem with overhead water not reaching all of the spots I needed. This will be more efficient and I'm excited about that.
Very nicely done! Informative. I’m surprised that you had the water pressure to serve all of the drip tubing.
Awesome video. It’s hard for me to comprehend only raining twice or a few time more in the summer. It rains here all the time. Last summer was one that rained at least 2 or 3 times a week and sometimes more than that. It creates a lot of weeds!!! The pretty things need sunshine to grow and look good but the weeds don’t care! This type of irrigation would be good for my beds that are not close to my house. Thanks for showing us how to install.
Have a great week! 🌺🌼🌺
Great tutorial. Could you make a video to show how to connect the main drip line to a sprinkler system head? I don't have an existing drip line but I do have a sprinkler system.
I like how you shared the video on the drip system because you always talk about it and I was wondering how it worked I saw one video where you even had drip system going through potted plants. Thank you
love it do more things like this
BEST VIDEO EVER.
That was fun to watch!
looks so beautiful
Thanks! Super helpful!! I have the same problem with a perennial bed with sprinklers. I plan to cap outlying heads and try to find the main feed to that goes to that bed and run my drip system from there. Since it is on a separate timer zone than the adjoining lawn. I will cap all ends of the "abandoned" buried side just in case I ever convert the bed to to lawn (horrors!) and need in ground connectors.
How long should your runs be? I'm assuming it may depend on your water pressure, but I have no clue how to figure any of that. I like how you have a stem in each of your garden raised beds. I wish you had a video on how that was installed.
According to the Dig Company who make the irrigation lines you should run no more than 300 ft of line off one faucet.
Thanks so much. Happy holidays
thank you! wanted to switch ours out to drip.
didn’t look to complicated.
Thank you Laura very helpful
Thanks for the informative video. Great layout. One issue I had when I capped my old irrigation pipes was that they leaked. You may want to seal them with Teflon thread tape. That fixed the problem I had.
Great video I'm going to do this in my yard. I'm in a powerwheelchair and this will make watering my yard so much easier no more getting the garden hose wrapped around my wheels and having to call the neighbor to rescue me. Thanks
This is a great video, Laura. Thank you!
Love videos of yours like this. Very helpful!
Right at the moment I was thinking but what about us that need to install one, you answered that question lol... We get weekly rain (usually) & good storms here & the humidity is awful but it gets really hot with the humidity. So this wld save watering almost every evening in the summer..
Your great on explaining !
Awesome job 😎 , it’s recomendable to have a flush line at one or more ends of the drip lines in case it cloggs.
Great video! I need to do this also and was not sure exactly how to go about it. Thanks so much.
Very helpful thanks 😃😊
LOVE IT!!! Thank you! Would you please talk about the different timers? I definitely need to set up a drip system this season.
Russell 😂😺❤
Very helpful, thank you!
Great info! I always learn so much from you.
How do you know whether or not you can do the whole thing on one line or if you have to split to two lines? I have 9 raised beds. They are 4'x14'.
Thank you very much for sharing the information. I have been wanting to do this in my garden and didn’t want to have to pay a company to come in and do it.
Thank you! Really needed this info.
You would not love the rain as much as you believe 😂... I’m in a tropical country and 5 days barely any sun is no fun
Yayyyyy I wanted this info thanks you guys great job
I installed a drip system this year.What a difference It Made.I used Soak'r Hose's for years,but they don't put water exactly were you want it.I set mine up in my Garden.I can drain it and roll it up at the end of the growing season,put it back out after planting.I can put exactly how much water,where I want It And on what plants I want.Soak'r hose's still work good,with all of the options you need to think about what your doing,water's not getting any cheaper.I cut my Water Bill by a 1/3.The City Came and changed out the Water Meter a month later.If I was using more water(a leak),THESE CROOKED BASTARDS WOULD HAVE LET IT GO UNTIL I CALLED THEM!!! BEEN THERE,DONE THAT WITH THESE BASTARDS!!!
Thanks
New subbie here👋 Of course! The white stuff is hard water!
Very good info in this video. QUESTION: What about winter?? Do you leave the system in or do you have to remove it?
Would you talk about greenhouse? I think I want one and would love some tips .
Buenas tardes, pudiera informar si las mangueras tienen agujeros en su longitud?
Hey, that's exciting video for me! Excellent content and love how Aaron shows the pictures of the connectors evolved and how you are so hands on. Love it! ❤
I am no stranger to irrigation but I have a question:
Do you keep the tubing in the flower beds over the winter?
I really don't want to have to take them out. I am in zone 8, I do take the hoses out and cover the faucets but I only have 3 faucets and it's not big deal, but this will be for me. Thanks for sharing.
Camelia, Laura mentioned in video a while back that she and Aaron hire a guy in early winter with a big, heavy duty compressor to blow out the lines so that there is no moisture left to freeze. It may have been the video where she planted trees along the driveway, then installed tubing, then covered the area with landscape cloth.
Thanks Don, now that you mentioned it I remember that. I have a compressor but not a huge one! Thanks again Don appreciate you answering my question!
Thanks for the informative video! We get plenty of rain most summers here in Ohio and I think it's terrible if I need to get out a sprinkler even once during the summer:/ I enjoy all your videos even if I don't use the ideas:)
Hi sorry hijack your today’s tutorial
But can you tell me please how to cut back a Passion flower.
Last years was amazing & hopefully it will be again this year. Ps I live in England 🏴 in the midlands,
The midlands is just England not the middle of the whole of the uk
Love your video & Iv been a subscriber quite awhile now please keep them coming 👏👏👏
Yours Jacqui
Excelente video, bendiciones
Nice information
NOTHING about this was boring! On the contrary, it was super informative & helpful (per usual!). I don't think I'm alone when I say that I really enjoy all the "behind the scenes" videos...where you show us how you get such a green lawn, how you maintain your beds, the addition or removal of any hardscapes, the planning & execution of ideas for your garden, etc! It might be mundane for you, but I guarantee SOMEONE out here IS learning something new :)
Hayley Wise I agree with you Haley. I love these type videos. I have learned so much from Laura. We appreciate any info Laura is taking the time to share.
I concur with Haley!
Good job. What pressure do you use? And what is the total flow for the system? Thanks.
Can you mulch over 1/4” emitter tubing spaced 6”?
Great information! I live in Albuquerque which is high desert with very hard water and the house we purchased has a drip system. However we noticed some of the little stakes that are in the soil don't release water. I'm guessing they are clogged from the calcium. We had to shut our system off since it wasn't actually working. Any tips on fixing this issue?
Do you cover the drip tubing completely with mulch, so it's completely hidden? Or leave some of it visible? Thx!
Who is the person that disliked this amazing video
That is always my question too - do they ever post a comment?
Susan Kilpatrick i looked through all the comments no bad ones and laura, aaron, ben, and russel should know by now that whatever they post on this channel everybody will love
To prepare for winter, do you have to drain the tubing? Or, because there are weep holes, isn't it necessary?
Questions. Does the high pH (white stuff) eventually clog the soaker holes? And how long can a line run with still having pressure at the end for water to come out? This was a great video. Thanks.
Victoria Gibbons the white stuff is calcium aka hard water deposits. Not ph related.
does the size of tubing make that much difference? .700 vs. .710
Great video as always. Just wondering what you will do with those lines for the winter. Do you blow them out, or are the drip holes enough so that it self-drains?
Does it make a difference if you use 1/4 or 1/2 tubing ? My center has 1/2 tubing but it’s .9 gph and the 1/4 is 1 gph
I love your videos!! I apologize ahead of time for being off subject! I really wanted to ask if you notice your boxwoods have a less than pleasant smell and if there are certain types that don't smell so much like.... Cat pee?😒 I LOVE boxwood enough to put up with smell but if you've noticed a type with little to no smell I would be so happy!!! Also I'm loving your sneakers!!!! 😍
Interesting! A neighbor recently mentioned that she can't stand the smell of boxwoods. But I have never noticed an odor from them. I wonder if only certain people are sensitive to it. This is the first I've heard of it. I'd be interested to find out. Good luck to you!
good videos👍👍👍
Would anyone know if anyone can use the holes in the brown drip line for inserting emitter/emitter joints?
Hey Laura, what kind of mulch did you put on the beds over the drip tubing?
So how long do you have to run the new system? And how often?
can you please make another succulent video
I have risers/ bubblers. Could I attach drip tubing to them?
How does water flow evenly? Will the pressure be not low towards the end? Especially in slopes?
The tubing is pressure compensating but it is recommended that it be used on relatively flat ground. I have mine on a slightly sloping bed and it works fine from beginning to end.
What is the GPH? Your link does not correspond to what you installed.
Pls do an update when is all green 😊😊😊
i need this in my gardens. but since they arent that big i water with a hose.
can I ask what kind of mulch do you use?
Hi Laura, may I know what’s ur flower color scheme for this coming spring 2018.
Okay, so, this tubing that has holes in it, are those holes emitters? Like I mean is the water coming out of them controlled and regulated in some way so it doesn’t just spray? Or are they just regular holes and the water just leaks out? I’m just wondering if I buy that kind, do I also need to buy emitters to go on all the holes.
Lydia Speth it just drips out the holes in the tube that are equally pre-spaced instead of creating your own hole in a tube that has none. It's more efficient and less expensive than putting an emitter every few feet if you want to drip to an entire large area like she did in the video.
Is there enough pressure in all the lines so that the moisture is consistent from the beginning to the end of the tubing?
Yes, the emitters are pressure compensating.
We are high desert as well. Do you roll up you hoses in the fall for winter? Or keep them ou?
I'm lost on ur watering tubes wear do start? I have a well only one Spicket??
Can you convert part of a sprinkler zone into drip while leaving part on the sprinkler for the lawn? Or does the whole zone need to be one or the other?
Anita Hadley you can convert a head in a zone if you want and keep the other heads as is.
If there is mulch down and want to put new mulch do I clean up the old one or just put the mulch over it? Thank you for answering the other question I had about not having a irrigation system. Love ❤️ all ur videos
It depends on what type of mulch you are using. Organic type mulch breaks down in to the existing soil and thereby improving it. On that type of mulch you leave the old and apply new when needed. On large nugget type mulch or heaven forbid rubber mulch it fades after a while and does not break down. That type frequently needs to be removed when it looks shabby and new applied.
Teresa Fredenburg thank you, that makes sense 🙂
I have a lot of problems with the connectors blowing apart. How do you prevent that?
Holly's Simple Life you can purchase pressure regulators that control the PSI. That way you get an even water pressure throughout your hose.
