Grow Your Heirlooms WOW! This is SUPER EXCELLENT BRO! Thank you for detailing just about everything. YOU THE MAN!!!!👍🏽💯👏🏽
Thanks
What or how should I run irrigation/drip tubing from a splitter at my hose bib to a raised planter and potted tree? This system will have to be trenched under the pavers I am having installed for my back patio? Should I run white pVC?
The last time I installed under a sidewalk, I ran PVC inside a bigger ABS pipe. That way if I had problems, I could pull it through or replace it. But after 12 years, still no problems. So yes, I ran pvc. But I'm not an expert on plumbing. Also, for the raised planter, watch this video. ruclips.net/video/77z_UisxYxM/видео.html
I think the plastic can cause cancer...
You are an intelligent yet humble presenter. Well worth listening to. Thank you
Thanks for the kind words
I agree, I'm so glad I stumbled on this guy's video. I'm now a subscriber!
Agreed. Well presented. Not overproduced. Good amount of detail. Clear explanations.
Agreed!
Honestly, in the beginning I thought you were trolling us with all of those adapters and filters...I was laughing pretty hard. However, I quickly realized you are an excellent teacher. I’ve watched thousands of hours of youtube “How to” videos, on subjects from plumbing, to Finite Element Analysis, and you really are in the top 5 teachers I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much.
🤣🤣🤣 same🤷♀️
Wait, he wasn’t trolling us?
reading your reply before watching this video made this video all that much better. I laughed and was still educated
TY!!!!! Finally someone showing whole system, & ACTUALLY turned water on to show how flow is & how to adjust!!!!!!
Yes, I was referring to the first bed you showed. I'm glad that you just said you have a ball valve installed in each bed; now I can honestly say that your video is 100% clear. Thanks for taking the time to explain it to us noobies!
Honestly one of the best explained DIY videos I've watched, no fluff, very clear explanations and easy to follow. Thank you!!
Thorough and unlike many videos I watch on youtube you don't ramble on about nothing. It was all information!!!! I am now starting raised beds. You are the first video I've seen on drip irrigation. Overwhelming is all I can say. I'll be researching more on drip irrigation.
You gave great advise as to the do's and don'ts along with comparing different ways to set it up. I'll likely play a little with it over the season to find what works best for me.
Thanks again
The best and most clear video about Drip Irrigation System on youtube.
Thanks
Yeees! You are right, we dont want to water the weeds too. I have been watching all kinds of irrigation. This is just perfect and i think this is what im going to do to my garden.
Wow, I have watched several months of these videos, most from commercial and professionals, however, I was still unsure or afraid to tackle this because they made it seen so complexed. I watch your video one time and I completely understand the simplicity of a dip system and most of all, I know that I can do this myself. Thank you for taking your time and making this clearer.
I am still afraid
Please note:
Place your filter immediately after the back-flow presenter (2nd in line in this assembly). This catches any debris before it enters any of the other components attached down stream. This is especially important to do BEFORE the pressure reducer where any debris can plug-up and actually end-up reducing the PSI below the targeted PSI and restricting MORE water-flow/rate than you had intended.
Hope this helps !
Great video - esp. like when you mention that there are a "million" ways to build your system - that is right on !
Who cares? This is one of the most informative explanations of a drip system out their! Im so glad that your comment has clarified that for all of us! Thanx a bunch! "Oh" please excuse my improper spelling of the word their...GEEK!
This is a fantastic video. Tons of information, and no time wasted giving useless information. Thank you.
You totally took the fear away of installing a system. I lost a few good crops last year because I work out of town and wasnt able to water as much as was needed. It's on this year BROTHER!!! Thank you!!
Get a Timer that You can follow and than let it work. It does good and You need to win in the end. I should know. In Australia we follow much when You Yanks start to put it all away but not here, we leave it up and it is done!
Best video on this topic I've seen. Thank you for a great video!
Listen you did a good job doing the drip system and explaining it those that criticize are the ones that can't make what you did so good job
Thanks
You are a plant, sanity, and anxiety saver! This video is EXCELLENT. I laughed pretty hard a couple of times. I'm very grateful you made this video! This video is well done. thank you!
You're welcome, THX
great video mate, i do this for a living and thought i knew it all but you have shown some new ideas, cheers
this video just made my day...so thorough on how to do the drip irrigation system the right way. Thank you so much for sharing.
CreativityWithStamps You're welcome.
This is the best video the I've seen for raise beds, and the right way, (with a little bit of flexability) thanks so much!
You're so welcome!
THANK YOU! This video has been my absolute FAVORITE so far that I have watched. I am a fav new subscriber! Keep sharing! Single Mom's like myself LOVE IT! Thanks!
YW
this was awesome; thank you so much! ((: thorough, precise, excellent links.
Good thing about these ideas regarding the installation of drip irrigation for raised beds are really a big help in such a way of conserving water. I found it very easy to install and I guess I will not hesitate to apply this system to my raised bed garden.
Nothing worst than knowing that you need a drip system and don't have a clue as to how to put one in. Only to find that the salesman/woman doesn't have a clue either or they are trying to sell you the moon. Your video made it simple to understand and it is just want I need for my raised garden too. Thank-You. You just made my day.
I'm working on designing something for my mother, this was extremely helpful, thank you!
YW
@@Growyourheirlooms, thank you, very informative.
Thank you for explaining it so well. I really feel like maybe I can install a drip system too.
Start with only ONE size and not any more and I know You will like it. Start small and a few pots will do. Than go on and enjoy the work, You will. I am 80y and have time and enjoyment now.
Very good, better than the other instructions videos
I'm just getting into drip irrigation for my patio pot plants that are 15+ feet from the nearest spigot. PVC piping is the way I wanted to go but didn't have any idea how to do it. This gives me all the information I need to do it right. Thanks so much!
that is an excellent video and demonstration... Thanks so much! it doesn't look too terribly difficult I might actually be able to do this myself :-)
+Carmen CES Yea, If I can do it, anyone can.
Very useful and interesting. Thank you for sharing !
)
This video is so excellent- I hadn't entertained the idea of putting in a system like this until you showed how simple it can be. Thanks a lot.
Greatly helpful coming just the right time of the year!
Please help me with the steps necessary for going from one season to the next. I mean, the plants are done this year, we go through fall and winter and spring is upon us again. How do I efficiently handle the pipes and drips to be able to add compost/fertilizer and start new plantings?
Holy overkill batman! I enjoyed the video and your perspective.
LMFAO....You nailed it!
Overkill? It just seems to me that he is building a system that will last, likely in his long term household
@@ObligatoryX don't you have to remove the pipes off the ground at the end of the year / season on order to vitalise the soil, aerate it for the next round of growing plants? that is a drag with those pipes in your way. no?
@@docesam possibly, or maybe not if you have healthy soil and a good crop rotation
Definitely *some* overkill, but I appreciate his methods as he said there are a million different ways to do it. I have a large implementation, multiple zones in every direction around my property. I rarely plumb two areas the same way. Each setup requires some uniqueness based on water availability, physical layout, and what is being grown. For an instructional video, the depth is very good.
All of the videos that I watched for how to install irrigation drip system yours is by far the best..you are very thorough explaining how and why...thank you so much for sharing this now i can do it myself without pulling my hair and also what materials that I needed to do it. Thank you so much....
YW and thank you
Great video, you explained it very well, specially for new people like me!
Thank you so much for this...I been thinking about installing a drip line but was very intimidated...now I think I can do this...
informative...;thumbed it up,subbed..
The best description possible. I highly recommend this video
You’re the man! I 100% appreciate this video. I learned so much in a short time. I have been to Lowe’s and Home Depot 6-7 times trying to make sense of it all, your irrigation system instructions are a game-changer for me! I’m ready to buy a farm, Lol! You just save my little garden plants while I’m away on vacation. A million times thank you.
Great Video thanks! I'd like to install drip on my raised beds but we usually rotate our plants from season to season. If you are putting an emitter at each plant how do you compensate for future plantings where the location of the plant will be different?
I had been researching how to best construct a drip irrigation system for raised beds when I stumbled across your video. It is absolutely insightful! Thank you for sharing this well organized tutorial and your helpful commentary!
I'm new to gardening and this is the first video that made sense, thank you. you explained it so well.
great help
Nice presentation!
After studying plastics I have removed all PVC pipe and now only use HDPE and LDPE for food.
Is there any difference? I believe you did this to be more organic?
you do understand that your inlet to your house is 99% sure... PVC, but there's a small chance it's iron, but in that case... You can enjoy the rust flowing through your body
yes PVC leaches out known carcinogens and hormone disruptors like phthalates, BPA or BPS; that is why it is not recommended for drinking water or to water vegetable gardens; alternatives are lead free brass fittings, plastics made from recycle codes 2,4 and 5 and hoses made from polyurethane
Great tutorial!! I appreciate your thoroughness, showing different options, and getting right to the point! My hubby just built my raised garden beds, I am growing my seedlings indoors (Here in AZ it is too hot to start seeds outdoors) Now I am trying to figure out the best way to water. PERFECT EXAMPLES!! I have watched several videos and yours is the first one that I was able to watch all the way through, and provided the info I needed.Thank you!. Happy Planting!!
Top notch tutorial...no reason to buy a kit with unneeded compnents. Also offers alternatives to the standard installation. Thanks...great job!
Seems like the straight stream these emit, would erode the dirt and create holes. Even smaller drips would eventually. Wouldn't a mist emitter be better?
Go for emitters that are adjustable and keep the tap on low and work with that.

The compression adapter is just used to connect the drip hose to standard pvc.
The word "compression" throws people off.
where do you find your compression adapters? I can't seems to find them
@@Christine-ro2gh Home Depot. Just ask one of the workers there.
hi bye
Very, very detailed & good teaching. You took the scare right out of this for me. Many Thank yous. After watching many, I am doing it your way
You're welcome
Wow!, Thank you so much for the time and energy put in to explain the installation of drip irrigation and explaining your experiences on advantages and disadvantages. Thanks a lot 🙏
I'm intimidated by your drip system.
Nice video, everything but the PVC part is good. PVC plastic is categorised as dangerous to human health, so it should be avoided as much as possible, and you should not even recycle it with other plastic types. Burn that 💩 and get some PP plastic or PE plastic... cheers
It's toxic when you burn it............
Top notch advice and tutorial!!! I feel much more prepared to shop for the parts and do it! You are an excellent presenter, organized, and clear.
Like you said there are many ways to diversify your drip irrigation system! You did a good job of explaining how it works and the function of each component, which can remove the intimidation of making your own system.I totally agree that you want to have ball valve on each raised bed for volume control according to plant needs & maturity I also do the same thing for my patio boxes on my deck! Thanks for posting this video! Have a productive year!
Doesn't automatic systems like this take away the enjoyment of watering your garden manually?
this is my least favorite part about gardening... 2 hours per night, automatic grows for you... next year were doing it..
Enjoyment and Manual... those two words don't go together. At least in watering your garden. But hey, go for it. But it does beg the question>>> "why are you watching a video about installing an automatic drip system then"?
Grow Your Heirlooms Curiosity
hand watering can also spread disease among your plants from the splashing effect. You may think you're simulating rain but you aren't. Drip irrigation is superior.
not only that but it takes time... Im going full auto next year...
I like the way you do it. It it simple to work with.
Thanks
Thanks for taking the time to show this - I'm a newbie and this tells me exactly what I need to do. Really appreciate you taking this time
Great video! Thank you. I bet you never expected it to reach 1,500,000 views--congrats!
Thanks
Really well done! Good sound and video; very clear. It needs to be as long as it is; the systems have a lot of parts and many possible configurations. I have read the instructions a dozen times for drip and there is nothing like seeing a system being set up. I am emboldened to put my system(s) together this week.Thank you for taking the time to make this video available to us all.
I love the way you explain, very practical. Thank
Thank You
Thanks for the video. Like Jared I just spent about $100.00 at Home Depot, but after watching this video, I will be returning about half of what I bought.
Your system is the BEST.. Great details.
Thank you
Just starting my own garden and this was a great example for me, thanks a lot for this video👍🏼
Very nice! Thanks for sharing! I learned a lot as I now have my wife's blessing to engineer an irrigation system for the garden.
Thanks for the easy explanation! Many other videos were having tough explanations
You're welcome!
I just found this looking to set up my irrigation as a new Gardner. Very well explained and demonstrated!! Super helpful! Thank you. Just liked and subscribed
Thanks
Thank you, this was super helpful. Been having trouble wrapping my head around how to install drop irrigation into my beds.
Thanks! Iadmire your thought process and sharing your lessons learned. You have saved me a bunch of time and frustration. I'm going to convert my sprinklers to drip line this summer.
Bravo sir! I was searching for information about this topic and you have answered every single one of my questions. Very well done, all around because I believe I have uncovered a trove of knowledge. Thank you!
U are a great teacher. Very well informed video..thank you very much for taking the time to make this video so our project is easier for us to do..
Thanks
very well done. very informative and nicely presented. as Nathan says "you are an intelligent yet humble presenter."
Like asking a good neighbor gardener for tips -- just what I need - thank you!
Irrigation System + Potassium Polyacrylate is a wonderful solution for drought situation.
I am in the process of building raised beds in my greenhouse with a drip system. This was really helpful and will be looking at adopting some of the tips you have shown.
Yep. Just finished my irrigation. This video was the best among 'em! Thank you again. You're a natural teacher. :)
Thanks, Glad it helped
I think ! it is a simple way to install our drip system! thanks sir I get more knowledge from this video...Keep it up....SIR
I am just planning and getting ready to install a drip tape system on two hugel beds but I will put a drip pipe system in on the others. Thanks for the info. It was very clear, relaxed, confident and friendly. Good job.
Thanks, this was very thorough and informative. I like how you explain the choices you made, got into some of the other options, and explained why you didn't go with the other options.
Great info. You convinced me to go this route. I’m designing my first drip system for raised beds, mulched flower beds, and fruit trees. Thanks 😊🙏👍. Gonna start with my raised beds to get the hang of it.
tower of power, Hose style!!. But jokes a side this is pretty simple thanks 7 years later
This will be perfect for to beat Heat this summer for my watermelon hills. Watermelons need so much water I don't want to have to think about it I can set it and forget it. Thank you for such a detailed video. Cant wait to customize to my garden. After watching i think id like this through out the rest of my garden.
Sounds great! Have fun
Update! Set up drip lines for 4 different sections of my Garden i absolutely love the dripline. Very easy to do i also bought a auto timer.
I love the integration with standard pvc and drip systems.
Thank you so much for your extensive detail on your drip project. Planning on setting up drip for next year. I particularly like the rigid pvc feed underground to the beds. You have given me much to think about for the project.
Generally, it is suggested that the pressure regulator come after the filter, since the filter will have a pressure drop across it that varies with total flow and any filter screen sediment. That just give a more consistent pressure delivered. Also, for many of the vacuum breakers the manufacturer says that they are not rated for continuous pressure or they will fail prematurely. If that is true for the one in use, place it downstream of the timer (or just shut off the faucet every time when done watering).
Thanks for the video -- so clear and every second full of info.
A brilliant video, very well presented. Thank you for taking the time and trouble.
Very welcome
Thanks so much for this video. Excellently done. Clearly you have been doing this for a while... You’ve saved us newbies a lot of headaches!
You're very welcome!
Thank you for the video. I will be setting up my first drip irrigation on my 100x100 ft garden this year. I was looking for someone that uses only the 1/2" tubing, rather than the 1/4 inch. You gave me what I needed. Thank you. Happy gardening
Excellent! Perfect for a beginner like me. Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
well done ! You gave pretty simple and easily followed examples , You even nailed all my questions and this was my first video on the topic , I usually end up wasting my whole day or even week trying to get specific answers and good examples ,you saved me a lot of aggravation Thanks ,
Great video, simple , and yet very informative. Thank you for sharing
My pleasure!
I’m back looking at your video I m installing my drip system now that it warm thank you for the great information !
Thank you so much for the video. U saved me big bucks. And saved my plants during vacation.
Such comprehensive and easy to apply tips for irrigation. Thank you!
You are very welcome
Thanks very much. Some great detailed comments and the thoughts behind why you run your system the way you do. Keep,it growing!
Really good, educative, informative and clear instructions Thank you so much for sharing your skills. I enjoyed listening to you.
I agree with previous posts, excellent commentary, clear instruction. THANK YOU!
Me too
Thank you very much, much needed information for me while installing my garden and drip irrigation system.
I like it that you've gone to great lengths to explain a lot of this and the benefits to some of it. I guess it's good if you're a very busy person and need to conserve time, but I've been retired for the last 5-6 years and I actually enjoy the time spent watering my above ground gardens. Mine have weed barriers, so I don't have weeding problems. For larger gardens, I just use the "fan spray" rotating yard sprinklers. Also, drank from waterhoses all my life, never gotten sick over "contaminants"
You got me so excited making something like this for next year! Thanks for the video!
Another great reason to use a drip system is that is waters pretty close to the dirt and not the leaves. This prevents tons of fungal diseases as well as leaf scorch which leave the plants weakened and susceptible to all sorts of pests. A little more work upfront makes less work overall.
