Thanks for this! I've been researching irrigation set-up and it has seemed overwhelming. You've really broken down in a way I can easily understand. I don't feel as intimated now.
100% agreed
Awesome video series Laura! Just wanted to share a couple things about irrigation though. I have found it necessary to put a metal clamp on the joints so they stay secure long term (maybe your tubing is different from mine but I have had them pop off). Also, I always leave a valve at the end that can be opened up in fall so the tubing can be blown out as it needs to be winterized. If the water stays in the tubing and it freezes and expands, it can crack.
Yes, there should be an end cap to flush debris out periodically.
Hopefully in one of the following videos of the series you also let us know how to winterize drip systems since they are so close to the surface.
Disconnect the hose from hose bib and let the tubing empty completely. That’s how we do it.
We use an air compressor to blow them out.
Your friend is so lucky to have your help on their yard!
This is a professional job. I am sure their friends are paying for it. If they are not I wouldn’t want them as friends.
@@pansepot1490, nothing is free for sure, but having Laura's experience and knowledge of plants are extremely helpful.
I should be getting ready for work! Setting up drip has changed my life.
🌱🌸🌿🌼🍃🌺These videos are so inspirational for people who have small gardens! I can’t wait for part three!🌱🌸🌿🌼🍃🌺
🌱Thank you Laura!🌱
The back flow preventer is required by the water department in Virginia Beach. So, I would recommend you check your water department when installing an irrigation system in your area. Great DEMO!!
Thanks for the info, from Alexandria VA. Do you know why they require it?
@@vivianlott6563 They want to ensure that debris does not go into the city water. The backflow allows water to flow in one direction but never in the opposite direction. Its sole job is to prevent drinking water from being contaminated due to backflow. If you plan to apply fertilizers or pesticides using your irrigation system, then in most cases you must have a backflow preventer- regardless of the water source.
Our little town of 800-900 people (which is referred to as "City", LOL) also requires backflow prevention on all outside irrigation.
Or... Just use one regardless of a law that had to be made to prevent people from hurting or killing their families.
"Professionals" might skip it because they play an active role in thier irrigation system and fully understand how it works. A DIY'er will normally have minimal basic knowledge... and take advice from RUclipsrs telling them it's no big deal to leave it off (even if they half-heartedly recommend having one without saying why it was okay for them not to).
If ur system is on a water timer won’t that prevent the back flow? When system is on it would be under positive pressure so not sure how anything would go up pipes?
Coffee with Laura and a drip system how great! Love that you explain so many details which make it much easier to understand how to install drip systems!
Was thinking the same thing. Drip in the kitchen and drip in the garden. Great combo!
You make it look so simple! I think I can do this. 😎
Got to love it when “squirrelly “ is a technical term that you understand 🤗 great series. Very usefully.
It beats using a hose all over your yard! Love it!
ABSOLUTELY!
Thanks so much Laura. I love watching your videos, but this series is so helpful and doable for my “smaller” scale of half an acre.
Hey!
I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and experience about drip irrigation system.i really wanted a walk through tutorial type of video.
I had never even heard of drip irrigation until I started watching your videos. My project for this spring was putting drip in for all of my beds and planters. It was a ton of work (most of our beds aren’t connected at all so we had to do a lot of trenching) but I’m so happy to have it now!
You have no idea how long I have been searching for a comprehensive video such as this. Step by step, simple and to the point! I’m saving this one for a future project. Thanks!
So helpful! We are going to put in drip tubing, but didn't get it in before planting. I'll watch more videos of your house projects to see how you manage in established beds. Thank you hard-working Laura and Aaron!😊🌲
I always appreciate you showing the irrigation process. I have mine run now at my house, thanks to you and Jim Putnam. It helps me to reaffirm the process.
i’ve learned more from your videos on installing drip than from any other videos i’ve watched. it all makes sense finally
I didn't know you already explaind the drip tube in detail. That's what I was search for. Can you maybe put all videos about drip tubing in one folder/ Playlist in RUclips?
I Hope you do more of these garden plantings on a smaller scares. Your’s although absolutely amazing & beautiful is quite intimidating and makes me want to stop before I even begin! Thanks for showing the flip side!
It’s always so relaxing watching your videos. I wait for your uploads every morning 6am. Thank you.
SAME !!!
Thank you so much. I never realized the setup was 'self contained'? I just always thought there was an 'end'. Never would have thought about connecting it to itself. So glad I saw this. I never thought I could do or afford a drip system. In the last 10 years I've really gotten into 'plants', have way more than I can handle, say every year I'll cut back and then I swear I do even more. But I don't keep up with the watering or fertilizing like they really need and the don't do as well as I'd like. I am now a believer! This is what I need and I know I can do it. Maybe not all at once, but I can start.
This is exactly what I need to see this morning. Landscaping contractor coming in a few days to start to transform my front lawn into a garden paradise. :)
Great tutorial on installing a drip/irrigation system - thank you!!!! Now I will check into a system!!!! Excited for video 3 - the planting!!!!🌞😊🌿🌸🌹🌺🌻👍💧💧🌿😀🌿
I know. I can't believe I have to wait a fully day for the next. The anticipation is killing me!
You guys are a God send! Without your detailed videos I'd still be floundering around in my garden with a trial and error approach to everything. You make gardening more approachable to gardeners new and old so I thank you for all of your hard work!
Laura has such beautiful eyes. Love to see young people loving gardening so much as so many are so stuck in front of their phones and TVs that they do no appreciate all the beauty that surrounds them.
Thank you for these videos. My husband and I will be buying a house soon and I needed a video guide like this so I can have a great landscape idea. 🤗
Drip tubing certainly helps with the stains against the brick house and potential basement flooding, as well as ease of watering shrubs and plants. Great video.
Laura, I have seen you put new drip tubing in existing beds at your place, but I don't ever remember seeing you hook it up to the actual faucet on the house.....that was SO helpful....thank you!
This video has been the best explanatory instructional video on installing a drip system👍 Thank you for making this video. Garden blessings
I think pressure regulators are an absolute must, and backflow preventers a good idea.
girl you are so STRONG. it takes me forever to put all my tubing connections together!! Love you and love your videos. keep going!
Great video!! We love our drip system, I can tell planters who have them from those who do not, our plants and flowers are more colorful and healthy. Looking forward to video #3! 🌸🌺
Very Nice. Thank you for showing how to use drip irrigation.
GREAT information. Just the fact that you covered the installation of 2 different types of supply lines and there purpose.
Laura, you are the wind beneath my wings.....but really this has been so educational I’m confident I can set this up on my own. Thank you for teaching us.
Had to wait to watch because I was traveling back from vacation to my Garden Answer style drip irrigated gardens and they were beautiful!! Thank you Laura and Aaron for your advice!! If you haven’t done drip DO IT!! Amazing how much better your plants will perform!! DO IT!💕💕💕
Quick and dirty irrigation and just what I needed. Thanks a bunch.
I yah yah😳 I’m soooo new to this. I became interested in learning about gardening during the pandemic...btw...started watching your videos ONLY☺️but everything I plant keeps dying. Frustrating....but I will try the drip system for containers. Thx!!! You’re soooooo knowledgeable ❤️
Awesome demonstration thank you
Your videos are just perfect!!! I will have you know that I installed drip to my sister's landscape using your prior videos as my guide .... I will say that I wished I'd seen this one first because it would have helped me to know to use the black tubing toward the back of the bed because you are right .... we don't need as much water in the back ... I'll fix that before next year's plantings .... mulch is already down!!! But love all of your videos ... thank you so much for all that you do for your followers!!! I appear as a gardening Goddes amongst my family and friends!!! I may have a few irrigation jobs to do next season!! Lol
This video by far has been one of the most informative for me. This is exactly what I need to do at my own home. Can't wait to see the next two videos. Thank you!
This is the kind of video that I need the most! Thanks!
I need to get a faucet on the front of my house. Right now I have 2 water hoses connected together that I drag from the far right side, in front of the garage and across the driveway just to get to the lawn and to the flowers. It's a pain. I love these videos. If we weren't thinking of selling in a couple of years then I'd go all out on this place and be Laura's mini me.
Thank you so much for these videos. I bought my forever home a year and a half ago and have been struggling with where to start. Most of the flower beds were overgrown and way over due for some tlc. You've been my mom and my inspiration for a few years now and we always look forward to the next video. This has motivated us to finally tackle ALL of the flower beds around my house and start planning next year's projects. :)
I always wondered about those other 2 pieces that they tell you to put on the drip system. So thank you for telling me that they are unnecessary. And I loved seeing the little lady coming out the back door. Caught ya! Lol
What a great video on how to set up a drip system in the garden! We haven’t done this before- only use movable drip hoses, but looking forward to adding this to a few beds! Thanks so much for the step by step instruction. Looking forward to the next video.
So glad you guys filmed this! I wasn’t sure what the difference was between the black and the brown dip tubing!
Thanks Laura ! It was really helpful to know how the whole system works. You have been a great teacher to us. I’m very proud of you
You've become a pro at running that drip tubing! Can't wait for part 3!
Fabulous. Must get my daughter to watch your vid. Thank you so much. My brother likes to hand hold a hose and water. He does all his thinking, he tells me. Laura, I like the watering done for me, and thanks to you, we know how. Blessings, Sweetheart.
Love it ! Learning how to do this drip system! Thank you ! Very much appreciate it 😀👍
Laura you're awesome! Thank you so much for the tips on installing the drip system! Very useful info I can use in my next project in the front yard! Can't wait for the planting phase of your project!
Thank you so much for this video. I have huge trees around my property that suck up all the water and I am constantly watering my perennials. Next year I will install this system before I mulch again.
Very helpful since we’re starting to develop a drip system for one of my larger beds. Thank you.
Drip irrigation has changed my life! Thank you Laura!
Great video, I was looking forward to seeing the next step in this makeover, I love seeing how you put in a drip system. Those are garden goals and dreams to have a sprinkler system, my yard is tiny enough that I just water over head and then hand water the parts of my flower beds that might get missed or that I want extra water on. Thanks so much Laura and Aaron, see you in part 3 of this makeover.
I can't wait for part 3. Thanks heaps, Laura - I've always been afraid of tubing - thought it was all too hard, but you've made it look easy.
This is a great video I have my timer and was able to set it up with you. Now it's getting outside and laying everything out but I feel pretty confident and thank goodness for RUclips and Garden Answer!!! Wish me Luck!!
This is probably the best drip irrigation video out there
Laura, you should be on tv! :) I love watching your videos!
This was really helpful. I need to do this in my backyard. I also need to see how to tap into existing underground irrigation to adapt the sprinkler heads & the system water pressure to a drip system. I know it can be done, but you’re so much better @ showing & explaining than the videos I’ve found on that topic thus far. So if you’ve tapped into your main sprinkler system @ home to convert it to drip in certain areas for flower beds, please show us how you did it & how the pressure is regulated for drip instead of underground irrigation.
I have always wanted to know how this works. I have a massive garden that I have taken over. This really helps me understand it more. Thank you.
Laura, thank you so much for this video!!!! I just showed it to my husband and he is on his way to the store right now to get supplies to get all of my areas set up!!! I am so excited!!! You are the best!! 😘
The suspense is building!!! You and Jim Putman rule !
I just finished sorting out my BIG bed around the barn and was wondering how to set up a drip system to it. Thank you for taping this just in time! I can now go to the hardware store and get my supplies and set up that bed and two more large ones that I have.
Hi Laura and Aaron! Another very helpful and well explained video! We put in 2 raised garden beds last summer for our vegetables and ran a hose to them to set up soaker hoses for watering. We use a timer and both the pressure reducer and the back flow preventer. Maybe we didn't need them, but they were inexpensive and may save us from having problems down the road. I do think I will go with the drip hose for them next year. Also, we used a "Y" at the faucet so we could hook up another hose for hand watering the containers on our decks. Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to Part 3.
I just love your efficiency and deep understanding of this drip irrigation system - you gave me confidence!!!!
Thanks!!!!
Jennie
Great info. Very helpful to anyone wanting to set up drip in a small area. Can’t wait for part 3. 🤗🌸
Watched this while sitting on the ground at home depot
Thank you for showing how to do this project! You have made me believe I can tackle this myself! Wish me luck!
Thanks. Now I want to put a drip system in my flower bed. This was very helpful. I can't wait to see what flowers you've chosen for the flower bed.
You make it look so simple! Gonna try my hand at putting a system into my front flower beds which we are finally redoing! 💪🏽 can’t wait for the planting part though!
What a great job you are doing for your friends! Can’t wait to see the final product!
GREAT video series!!! I love watching from bare-ground-start to what will be a stunning finish! I can't wait to see the next two!!!!
Thank you for your informative videos! I've been using drip irrigation for containers and needed a better way to irrigate my large mixed borders. Your method using 1/2 inch drip lines will save me time not to mention my sore fingers.
Laura you are very good at explaining each step, thanks so much.
Yes! What an Informative, helpful video! Love this series. Well done Laura and Aaron. 👏🏻💯 You’ve taught both me and my husband so much!
Great project! My town “requires” us to use backflip preventers. Thanks to you & watching your videos I have my planters on drip system!! Best thing ever!!☺️💐
Cant wait for the plants!!!!!
I'm glad I watched this video! I never knew that you could do job irrigation from a regular water hose like that without hauling a big expensive Piece of equipment, I didn't know they sold little adapters like that.
Does drip need to be blown out for winter? What kind of winter prep is there?
I would like to know this question as well.
@@cathyscreationandvlog4224Anyone got the answer?
@@cathyscreationandvlog4224 I always blow mine out in the winter, just the same as my other zones! No other winterization necessary, at least not in my experience. I'm zone 6a, so it definitely gets cold here.
@@chrissygoodrich5690 Thank you
You don't need to blow the drip tubing out, because it's full of holes. If it's attached to a hose or something else that would need to winterized, then of course you'd do that, but drip tunes can just be left alone.
I'm loving this little mini series.
I still need to put that drip system in for our vegetable garden and hanging pots.
Thank you Laura for your videos !! they are so helpful for people like me.
Thank you for detailed information. You made it look super easy.
I can’t wait to see what plants your going to be adding in this area.
Really appreciate this.
Loved this video. Wish I had seen it before I put all my beds in. Looks fairly doable.
Can’t wait to see the plants going in, thanks Laura!💕🌼🌸🌺🌷🌸🌺
the flower bed in comparision to laura's .oh my world!i hope they will be able to keep up to laura's hardwork
I'm new in our channel. All your videos are so helpful for someone like me; you make everything so simple and easy. I wish I have the same skills as you do on planting :)
This has been so incredibly helpful! Thank you for doing this video series!
Lauren, you are so sweet and amazing. Great information on drip lines.
Thank you so much for this video and being fery thorough from start to finish. I can now install my drip system!! Yay
Super loving these 4 days of videos!
I have always wondered how this works. Thanks for sharing, Laura!
that was incredibly helpful, i think i can do it for my flower beds!
That was so important to see
I needed that
This will be on the list for NEXT YEAR because I don't think I can work in our 100+ heat this year. Just as soon as it cools down....I'm doing DRIP & investing in nice big established plants. It will make it easier to sell if we get the itch to move again.
