- Today we plant our garden! Try out Huel here!: my.huel.com/Jerry and thanks to Huel for sponsoring this video! Cambry and I built our large raised accessible garden last year. And so far, everything is still in one piece! This year we are upgrading the garden with a self watering drip irrigation system using water collected from the rain! Free water is the best water. Hopefully we get some rain this year!

This is a pretty damn sweet and elegant solution to building pressure! Our rainwater tank is ground level so only trickles even when full, so our solution was a 12v pump hooked up to the solar.
ye
Same as mine, maybe soon, will build a metal stand thing to elevate the tank. We don't have the metal stand thing like on the video but will build it from scratch using a welding machine, some beefy G. I. pipes or something.

Now you need to set up a system that automatically waters the plants. We built something like that using a float shut off valve similar to what you find in a toilet reservoir.
How? Care to explain?
@@jah-jah87 sure, i just used a float valve in a pvc pipe. When the water in the pvc tank evaporated past a certain level, the valve would open and allow water to flow. A little Water would feed back into the float tank and turn off when full again. The hardest part is fine tuning it to deliver the right amount of water before turning off.
Set it and forget it. The nice part is since the pvc tank is open to air, it also stays off when it rains

Just casually showing off the superiority of the metric system:
4535L water tank weighs 4535kg
(Only if it's distilled. At sea level.)
@@ulogy well rain water is distilled pretty much
@@ToothlessXDIn Not really, especially once it falls on a roof covered in microbes
@@ulogy true, that's why I said "pretty much". How many microbes can a roof have? In worst case scenario 100grams total. Its dust that's more of problems maybe that's extra 500grams if not clean(not rained/wind blows so long). Still water is pretty much distilled.
@@ulogy 1kg/L is a pretty good baseline, if you actually weighed and measured volume of the water in the tank you could get a pretty good idea of how much of the tank is not water, like rain has a little Hydrogen Peroxide in it, at 1.4kg/L, and any dust getting into the system would increase the specific gravity as well.. but it's got 'lec toe lytes." it's what plant's crave.
I have something alike for my greenhouse. It’s off-grid water wise, but instead of using gravity, I have a pump sitting inside of the water tank, which is powered by a absolutely tiny solar panel. There’s no maintenance whatsoever and goes perfectly along with a few automatic window openers for the four windows on the roof (powered by expanding gasses), which help to keep the temperatures not too high inside.
Cool project!
Nice setup. I'd avoid watering in the day and set it up for morning and night, because the sun will evaporate all the water quicker in the day and water on leaves in the sun can 'burn' them.
Agreed
Morning watering is best. It allows the plants to use what they need, and the rest evaporates. Evening watering can allow mold/fungus to thrive if it stays wet overnight.
@@rthomp03 this is a BERY useful tip. Thanks!
I really like the part where it is not dependent on electricity. The way world is headed and rely on fossil fuels, so projects like these could be a way to go, so you know... thumbs up for that, haha !!!
You should watch Sonam Wangchuks latest video . He is trying to aforest whole desert with just a simple capillary action .
Not only that, a lot less things that can break. And every little piece of the puzzle can be manually replaced/fixed by hand. Decentralized and sustainable. Now, about all that plastic.
@johnny penny That's very true. I wonder if a lumber construction could hold that weight? Clearly we need the elevation to avoid using a pump.
@johnny penny I don't think so. A pump, battery and cells will have to be replaced sooner or later, that is not sustainable. Pretty sure all those things together leave a bigger footprint than you might expect considering the extraction of rare metals and other components needed. And since they will have to be replaced, the lifetime footprint might double or even triple. Whereas the metal beams could easily be used for hundreds of years if treated correctly, just like a wood construction.
@johnny penny I suppose so, I just can't see how a raised container could possibly be beaten by advanced machinery in this respect. Also for a _fun_ reality check, look up the situation of rare metal and mineral mining in Africa. Deforestation, corruption and general exploitation.
What he didn't say: "I want a tank to test the water-proofing claims on cell phones, but the wife wont let me build one unless it also waters the garden!"
I love how you take extra precautions for sturdiness and safety in everything you do!! A lot of people fail to take those extra steps and end up having to replace things or have a bad accident involving the structural integrity
I do appreciate your harvesting with the rain water JERRY, that sounds great. Thanks for your nice invention.

Awesome video Zack reminds me of my childhood growing up on our 4-acre hobby farm in the mid-70s and 80s. We had 2 acres of vegetables and 2 acres of livestock. So we lived off the land with our own vegetables milk, eggs, fruit absolutely loved it. We lived in Devon Meadows, Victoria Australia.
Everything aside, the love this man has for her is so immense and pure! A man doing everything he can to make his partner happy and live in comfort is blissful to see. Lots of love to Zack and Cambry ❤️
We had this exact same setup in college. Literally down to the timer and everything.
There's nothing more satisfying than simple, intelligent design. Nice work.
@johnny penny what's complicated about it?
@johnny penny i don't think that qualifies as an applicable response.
@johnny penny anyone who understands how communication works. i get it, if you dont have a reason for why you think a gutter fed holding tank with a hose is too complicated then you don't have to explain. i hope you're able to learn something from his videos.
A fun addition you can make is to include a cattle trough fill valve from you home water line to your main tank to automatically keep the tank from running completely dry. May not be needed very often, but is a great little backup to keep your garden watered during the dry summer months if you take a few days away. Good job Zack!
add more automation in when to irrigate according to soil moisture, forecast
I absolutely love these videos you do, being self-sufficient is an awesome way of living, thank you for sharing how you did this 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘
Awesome system! In 2016 Colorado legislature finally allowed residents to capture rainwater, but only hold 110 gallons max. So I'm running two elevated 55 gal barrels in a similar, but scaled down setup. I'm a fan of soaker hoses over drip irrigation in raised beds/flat gardens; less loss to wind/evap, less maintenance, easier to configure year after year, and lower cost. Happy gardening!
You are absolutely right about algae in white plastic tank if is mounted outside the barn. I use plastic white IBC (1000 liters) in for watering plants, live in the middle of Russia, at the eastern foot of Ural mountains. After 5 years under the open sky, IBC inner side of the walls became covered with red substance. Each fall I have to clean algae from the inside using a stick. Thinking of using some chemistry to kill bacteria. Another option is to change to black, non transparent, plastic tank, which will not allow sunlight go inside.
Man, congrats you try everything to give your wife a good wheelchair “off road wheel chair” “wheel chair that climbs stairs” “elevator for wheelchairs” “can this wheelchair go on snow” respect!

You can have a valve with a floating ball in the tank, so that it closes automatically when it's full.
Yeah, I was thinking something like that too. He has that diverter mounted outside, but it looked like it was about 12 feet off the ground; that looks like work to me.
Yeah that would prevent the tank from overflowing, then the water would collect in the pipe and eventually stagnate there until the tank is drained
Mine has always watered itself, every time it rains. Amateurs!

@@DracolegacyOfficial Unless it's absolutely dark, algae will find a way
Yes sir, absolutely right. I've tinkered with hydroponics and rain collection systems and the fact that the tank is not in direct sunlight helps...it's just not enough. Stagnant water with air exposure and indirect sunlight WILL CREATE ALGAE. Also a weird smell, an air stone from aquarium or fishtank is a cheap but elegant solution to an otherwise nasty problem.

Great project Zack. If you didn’t know, the best water to water the plants is rain water. You can use less water by using rain water to water the plants. Love the project.
Not all rain water is the same.
Rain water caries air pollution in it.
People living near factories have the most nasty rain waters.
The learning joy and delight to see a nature derived salutation happen by your ingenuity but to see as the special bonding and love between husband and wife is divine, I wish you and Cambry all the happiness in life.
God Bless
Seeing you two brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eyes. Thanks for the video.
I absolutely ADORE these garden videos.
I don’t know anything about making videos, but I like your editing skills when you are building. It looks like you built the thing in 12 minutes.
Honestly I love these types of videos (garden, solar panel) more than the tech stuff lately.
I got some tips that you should do like move that mechanism that automatically opens, inside if your going to leave it unattended and untouched for the years to come cause it can freeze up with the water line being outside! You should also just probably just move the platform more up because I feel like people going to hit there heads since you added more support!
Everything about Zack is so wholesome
Love how functional and clean the design looks!
My only complaint is you didn’t raise the tank shelf up a few notches so the added lateral supports are at the same elevation as the top of your door. It’s probably just my tendency of hitting my head on things that brings that up. 😂
So my dad has been using this method for 20 years on his papaya orchard in Mexico! It’s awesome to see the same method being used elsewhere!
Wish I find someone who shares the same chemistry with me as you and cambry. It’s so satisfying and peaceful to watch.
You know that you’ve come early when half the comments are “Love from ___ ❤️”
I don’t know how but he makes these things interesting
Awesome video man. I love people who do gardening to the point where I always offer free help whenever to see anyone trying to grow anything in my housing area. It’s hard work but it’s fun and worth it.. better than just green useless grass is to actually good stuff in your land.
I'm here on your channel for first time. After watching this video I do some research about Cambry & it's really emotional. One of my favourite "The story of my life" by Helen Keller. Cambry you can write autobiography on your life. That will be a great story of life. Now I realised how hope work in our life. Cambry is best example. About Jerry from now day you are my most favourite youtuber & a good human being. You are best youtuber I ever known. Make more videos featuring by Cambry in future. Thank you so much.

„The plants get scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7“

You are so smart. Self-watering garden with less cost. Keep up the good work
Here after Cambry posting on her insta, had to look back to notice it on this video😂 Congratsss guys❤
Zack is taking expansion to full swing
This is great! Excellent work! With the infrastructure in place, now you can key in on some efficiency improvements. I would consider zoning the drip runs with the zones of your garden. This way you don't risk over/under watering certain plants. This really makes me want to rig up a water collection system.
That's pretty cool. In Australia we use many types of drip systems. If you cover the soil and piping in matting and mulch you can reduce the amount of water that is evaporated in summer.
This was super fun to watch, hope to see updates of your garden.
but does it get scratches at level 6 and deeper grooves at level 7?
Ahaha funni

Patient Jerry 11:57 "It'll all happen automatically."
Great idea and a neat project. And OMG that sponsor is right up my alley! I'm definitely checking them out.
Also for the mosquitoes they make tablets that dissolve for rain barrels if that screen doesn't work.
Interesting! Thanks for the tip
Love what you two are doing together, it's fun watching your videos.
I work in the irrigation industry. Thought I would supply some notes. You get an additional 1psi per 2.31ft of elevation. You should always use primer prior to gluing pvc fittings together. Final note that gravity irrigation using a drip system only really works if you use non-pressure compensating emission devices. FYI
Great info! I think im gonna do something like this on my chicken coupe obviously on a much smaller scale (55 gallon barrel), and throw in a fish tank heater to keep it from freezing in the winter (also in Utah). Great job!
That sounds cool!

A little advice from a long time gardener. I see you have spaced your corn well. When the stalks are about a foot tall, plant string beans around and between them. The string beans will climb about half way up the corn stalks by the time your harvesting corn,and you will have a bunch of string beans to eat and freeze for winter.
Bro, your kitchen looks incredible. LMAO. House tour?
Take some guidance from Matt from The Demolition Ranch channel... He's done this kind of project earlier and already hit some bumps along the road, he can tell you better...
Great idea and planning, makes life a little easier and using rain water.

Please remember to secure the Pallet racks to the ground, with bolts, i have seen to many of these "fall" over. They seem strong, but if they can move they can fall, especially because you only have one shelf, with 2 shelfs you get more stability.
Edit, ahh now i saw you secured it.. No worries then :D
