Good & detailed information, thank you so much
Thank you. Great tips!
Glad it was helpful! Watch our other videos too!
This video is incredibly helpful, I am doing drip irrigation on my vegetables this summer, and you've opened my mind to mini sprinklers as well as 1/4 inch soaker hoses.
First time I've seen the soaker hose, thanks.
Thank you for the info. I do use drip irrigation however i need to change some large pots to soaker hose instead of drip emitters.
Frances Gettys Yes that's a great idea to get more coverage for your container. Let us know how it goes! Cheers!!
Really useful with all the product links available. thank you so much
Thank you so much! I hadn't seen the 1/4" soaker style tubing before this. (I'm a novice, about to install my first system.)
Hello - thank you so much for this wonderful video. Qq : how would you remove soaker hose which are in containers that needs to be taken indoor during winter.
You can just disconnect it and bring it indoors, wash them with vinegar and re use it the next season!
this is exactly what I was looking for. I am keen to use the soaker hose setup in my container garden and greenhouse. very informative. thank you again.
+Sima Devi That's great to know! I have been using this system successfully for several years now, it does work work well. I have listed the things you need. Here it is again:

Thank you for the video & links.Its a lifesaver 🙏👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video, I have a lot of pots I water by hand. I' going to try this and save water...
I love the voice over character's accent. Lends a scientific feeling to the video. The question that arises when we learn tomatoes need lots of water is how much is enough?
helpful video thankyou.. some years have past now since this was filmed, have you determined which of these two methods gave the best results and stood the test of time?
thank you so much for your contribution since I installing the system myself I was kind of intimidated by, but with your explanation I pretty sure I can do this, I did checked the other video for the parts and it looks like you have to attack one unit to the other, just need to get the right ones....
Glad you liked it, see this one as well: ruclips.net/video/FUm-7qBNaxI/видео.html
I realize this is an old video but am enjoying viewing all information. Having trouble with watering my tomato and pepper plants. How much ever I try, I either over water or underwater them. Using drip irrigation looks a good idea. What is the good rule of thumb on how long to turn on the faucet and the schedule if you are using drip irrigation especially when we have different plants with different water requirements. Also is there a video watering and how does one ensure we water correctly ( tomoto , pepper, etc). Thanks
Exactly what I needed to know! Thank you!
thank you for your help
I am having a terrible time getting the barbed connectors into the 1/2" tubing. I have left the tube in the sun, but still not having much luck. Any tips?
You can buy an installation tool for connecting the connectors into the tubing. It looks a lot like the punch-tool he is using in this video except it attaches the barbed connectors to one end and allows you to more easily connect them to the 1/2" tubing.
Good detailed video!!
Tallulah Bell Thank you! Glad you liked the video!
Thank you for sharing the information on soaker hose. I was not aware of this. I do use drip irrigation for my raised bed and container gardening. Spl. with container setup i think this will be a perfect solution as I see my container are not evenly watered. By the way, what do you do with the 1/2 inc main line during the winter season. Thank you once again for all your videos.
Path Yes I leave the 1/2 inch water line outside in winters - no damage so far in the past few years. However SoCal winters are pretty mild (mostly!). Glad you liked the videos. Happy Gardening!
Hello, Great Information & thanks a bunch. I have installed timer & the other assembly including pressure reducer (In have 3 in 1 Faucet Adapter) to the main hose with splitter. I have one question - Once I set up timer, should the hose be running all the time? Is there any risk of water going back into the pipe? Do I need to use anything else?
Appreciate in advance.
Yes you can leave the hose running all the time, the pressure is enough for it to wait until the timer goes off. I dont see any problems with the water going back but you can use a backflow preventer to avoid this
i like your ideas
Hi 1/4 inch drip tubing with drippers at6"or 1/4" Soaker hose for big pots HI..which one you prefer / recommend ?
thank you!
Do drip steaks require water pressure to work properly? Or could they be used with a gravity fed system with only a few feet of drop
tip! leave your 1/4 tubing out in the sun for 40-60 min. Much more pliable afterward!
Thank you California Gardening. It's a great water-saving system that ensures even, regular watering. I find the soaker hose clogs easily and have to be replaced often. Do you have a filter at the water source origin? I am considering getting one. OneYardRevolution suggested using hydrogen peroxide for maintenance, so I will try this if the 1/4" tubing gets clogged again...or just buy more tubing.
CM Nakagawa Yes, I do have a filter at the origin. I haven't had any clogs yet with the soaker hoses. They also have so many weep points that a clog here and there wouldn't really matter. Try the 1/4'' soaker hose tubing connected to 1/4'' tubing via barbed Tee method - its very effective and I am sure you will like it.
Thank you California Gardening! I will look into a filter and re-work the 1/4" lines. We continue and look forward to enjoying your next videos.
Question, I have 1/2 inch tubing with holes is it possible to have a connector to it with 1/4 inch
Yes use a barbed connector
Based on your experience, what kind of backflow preventor (in terms of functionality or even brands) would you prefer/suggest?
I did not use a backflow preventor but if you must, get this one: amzn.to/2aaGI4n
Do you use a pressure regulator in your system, and how much pressure do you use? Thank you.
+T Abbs Good question, I wondered the same when I built my system.
For the containers - I tried with and without the pressure regulator - couldnt notice any difference so I removed it.
For this system: ruclips.net/video/FnkkksMhnFU/видео.html - there is a built in pressure regulator so nothing else is needed.
I have a section at front yard that's 3' x 15' rectangular shaped with 3 excising sprinkler heads 5' apart (with toro timer), and i see a lot of water waist, which drip system do you recommend?
For that size you can use a 1/2'' tubing with pre drilled holes or use micro sprinklers
Should I use a pressure regulator?
how many hours to enable irrigation system? how many times a day?
2 times a day, 3 minutes per run
During winters I lower to once a day, 3 times a week for 3 mins
how much water per plant??
please make the drip system fast
