I have been scouring YT for gravity fed irrigation ideas. I found your other video and now this one. Thanks for keeping it simple and explaining it so well.
This video was helpful. I tried to make one where I put a 1/2 gallon dripper into the bucket hole, but no matter what, it was never exactly right. I am going to try this one now.
I woke up this morning and it occurred to me that surely I could do something along these lines and I searched it out and found you guys. Thanks for the help. I greatly appreciate it.
I had thought about using a five gallon bucket to water some new trees I planted this spring by drilling a small hole in the bottom and just letting it flow but your idea is much better! Thank you for the video!! Great idea!!!!
I just found you and subscribed to your channel. I can't believe I didn't think of this simple setup before! I keep planting pine trees on our property in the mountains that burned a few years ago, we don't have irrigation up there except for what falls from the sky, and barely 50% are still alive after one year. I am going to try out this system and hopefully it'll make a significant difference. Thank you so much for putting this out there
another process is using cording, and placing the cord, like cotton, into the soil, and it draws the moisture through the cord as needed, this works for the plants that need a moist setting, but not requiring a 'watering'. same process, though the cord will draw moisture even in lower placing, unlike the drip set up. This can also be used with bottles, as well as a buckets, for smaller jobs.
Thanks for the video. I wonder if a 1/4" hose system can be used to water a number of plants. In other words, can I connect a series of 1/4" hoses to drippers (such as the one you show in the video) such that one bucket feeds a single hose system and the system drips water where ever I have inserted a dripper along the length of the system? I hope this makes sense. (Imagine: bucket - hose - dripper - hose - dripper - hose - dripper.... and so on). Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Yes you can place multiple drippers along the 1/4 inch hose. Unfortunately when I did it, I had to use .5 gallon per hour drippers (that was the smallest I could find) and the water drained way to fast. I’ll do another video where I use multiple lines and drippers to see how long it lasts.
I look forward to that video. I plan on constructing such a project and look forward to learning by way of your work. Thanks again.@@hisandherbshighdeserthomestead
I’ve seen this and your other video where you put a bibb on a bucket. This seems way simpler and cheaper. Would u recommend this or that older video with the bucket spigot?

Thank you for watching! Hopefully the videos help!
YOU are amazing. This has solvedy my pronlem...i planted fruit trees and needed exactly this ! Thank you...
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!

Great video. But, "Strawberry Pie Glaze," sure sounds delicious right about now😂

you can rocks or some weight to prevent it from blowing over also, which water will flow through so it is not wasted
"His and Herbs" LOL, that's clever!
Really enjoyed your energy and style, 🥰
thank you!
So helpful! I'll definitely set this up next year!
Thank you! I think it definitely helps.

thanks for that info. Im going to do that and see how long it lasts. Preciate you!
nice!!

I think this one works just as good and costs less.
