I am So glad to see this! I did the same thing about 45 years ago: My husband laughed, my brothers laughed, my neighbors laughed. I laughed last and best as I harvested lettuce, carrots and corn from my terribly tight clay soil. Thanks Jag!
You just saved me so many headaches working with the other watering systems...replace my black stuff and made a new one in just a couple of hours..No need to fix and repair and easy to add on to with the no glue connections..Thank you so so very much!!
I’m so thrilled you posted this video! I’ve been thinking about designing some sort of PVC irrigation system to help simplify my life-but wasn’t sure how best to proceed. I did a general topic search and voila, YOUR vid came up. I’m already a subscriber and I’ve been watching your videos -so I was thrilled when your vid was the first result. Your plan is so perfect …it’s a no-brainer, and major time-saver…I can head straight to the hardware store and get started, instead of watching….who knows how many more videos. So a HUGE thank you ❤️ You’re a Super 🌟
I have some PVC left from renovations that I did to my house. I recently tilled all my garden beds and planted some stuff. I find it relaxing to take out the water house grab a chair and sit down while watering my garden. But this is tedious at times, and I have other things to do. That's when THIS idea came to mind. And just like you, I was sceptical. So I came to RUclips to see if it could be done, and whether it would work. Thanks for the great video. Now I can definitely go ahead with this project, knowing that it will work 👍
Thank you Jag. I have four 25 foot rows to run off of the irrigation system. After looking into sprinkler hoses, soaker hoses and regular sprinkler heads I thought I'd look for someone who tried your method and there you were. I wish I had seen your video when looking through all the other videos week. Thanks again.
The water pressure and distribution seem to work great with your system. I am fabricating a similar project using an Arduino timed/solar/ dc water pump in a small greenhouse. Thankyou for sharing your build. The ideas all come in handy :)
This is a great idea. I have an issue with ground squirrels eating through the black plastic drip lines and also I have hard water which clogs the drips. So not great. I was thinking maybe having pvc like this may work better, but I see just drilling holes is also a super affordable way of doing it.
Great idea 👍🏿. Yet remember this is temporary and the PVC will have no other use besides a yard post. See Jag's other videos on funny pipe. If you decide to go with this route consider long runs with PVC along the boarder and funny/drip lines in the till zones. This way there are more options for horiz and vert flow control...ie succulents watered at root level and the running type that require more space than water coverage such as tomatoes, melons, vines... Better to keep the PVC raised and anchored versus buried for maintenance of soil. More reusable parts this way and expansion is possible. While keeping backflow issues in check.
I have same setup, except few changes. I have provided inlet to sprinkler on both end, used screw cock. Drilled 1mm hole every after 45cm inline. My raised grow bed dimension is 1188.72cm(39")* 106.68cm(42")* 55.87cm(56.88"). This way I can use it as drip system.
Jag,this is one of the easiest DIY video for drip irrigation.it might be a basic question,can you add more details of the other parts you used like what type of valve and what type of connector to the sprinkler that you used.it will be helpful in buying the parts to go with this setup.
Thank you very much my brother, you make my day. I will consider your idea as a dream come true. I have been thinking about this you for a long time. but I don't know if is going to work. now you have sett me free. Thanks.
Great method! #ILoveThisIdea I will try this for my #raisedbeds in cold frames and greenhouse so I can visit family for the #newyear. #Thankyouforsharing this took a lot off my mind. No need for babysitting my crops! 😂 #Keepupthegreatwork
I agree, I just spend a fortune on an irrigation system and this is the most cost effective way. Thanks so much for the enlightenment. I Really appreciate it.
I've done this. But I drilled the holes on the sides, further down the pvc pipe so it sprays more next to the ground, to avoid hitting the plants. Also start out with less holes, you can always add more. If you don't you can't plug up the holes and the water pressure may keep water from coming out the end part.
You can plug holes using a short piece of pvc pipe with a section cut out, clip it onto the pipe and slide it over the hole you dont want. I would have used elbows and tees on the other side of the system to creates a loop. This way the water can flow from both sides and it makes for more even pressure distribution.
I was thinking of doing something like this for watering the narrow strip of turf beside my house. It looks like it will work. No one really makes a sprinkler that works very well for narrow strips.
I'd be interested to know if your system would be effective in irrigating 6 pieces of 20 foot 1/2 inch. I guess I better do some experimenting and be ready to roll with the punches. Good video, glad yours works so well, peace..
Nice trick but I thought white PVC pipe is for in ground use. Why not use regular drip irrigation pipe with emitters or even holes and then a pressure reducer at the inlet. Having valve (to turn on/off the water when needed) is always a good idea.
I agree with your assessment. But this is definitely cheaper and easier. Not everyone want or can afford professional work. Not sure how this would last too though
I think I will use this system to water my lawn. My only question would be if I could control water pressure going into system by using my water faucet as a control I am thinking it would work but I am not sure.please let me know what you think of this idea

Perfect idea. Will it be okay during the winter? I live in Michigan. Will it be damaged in the cold day? Otherwise I could take them apart and put them away before the winter. Thanks.
I did four rows 25 feet long. It doesn't distribute evenly but of course that is to be expected. Do you think that if the whole system communicated, that is, instead of having the ends capped but rather joined with tees all the way around, would I get more even flow?
Make sure the pipe is leveled. 25 feet might be too long for 1/2 in pipe. I would only suggest 10 ft long. You can run a long 1 in pipe depending on the length of your garden bed and use 1/2in pipe for the width of the bed. could be 50 ft of 1 in pipe and 5 ft or 10 ft outlets of 1/2in pipe for example.
The higher your holes, the higher the water rises, and the more you'll waste to evaporation. Also, water on leaves is a major factor for fungal diseases.
Could this be done on a larger scale my dad as a hobby took up planting Christmas trees there are now around 150 saplings that I have to water each day would I be able to expand this design with the same effectiveness
I did this after watching your video...it's been well over a year and it's still working perfectly. Thank you so much!
I am So glad to see this! I did the same thing about 45 years ago: My husband laughed, my brothers laughed, my neighbors laughed. I laughed last and best as I harvested lettuce, carrots and corn from my terribly tight clay soil. Thanks Jag!
Thank you man, I actually followed this video and now the backyard is getting watered perfectly.
Which valve did you use ?

Great idea. I was about to buy sprinkler heads for a small garden area. This system controls the water flow better for my application. Thanks

When u say root level then will have to put the holes exactly on the sides🤔?
2:35 make me smile. Good job. I watch your channel from Nicaragua.
Good job! I was planning on setting up a system like this for the plants and trees but I wasn't sure how. Now I know, thanks.
Verdade
just buy a soaker hose...geez
I also had wanted to make this type of watering system. Your video was helped me to do it very simply. than you
This is brilliant. Something that I was looking for years for my vegiepatch (vegy garden). Just put some more attention on the VALVE (i missed that).
just buy a soaker hose. LOL
Wow exactly what i needed to see only problem im having is connecting this to the downspout.
I have same setup, except few changes.
I have provided inlet to sprinkler on both end, used screw cock. Drilled 1mm hole every after 45cm inline. My raised grow bed dimension is 1188.72cm(39")* 106.68cm(42")* 55.87cm(56.88").

Surely helpful technique and cost effective
Very good idea, very simple n easy
Terima kasih mister ilmunya sangat bermanfaat...👍👍👍

Exelent. Idea. Thank. You. Sooooo. Much
I've learned so much from watching your videos. Thank you very much and looking forward to many more.
What did you actually learn???
Nice video, clear and concise
Brilliant! You did come up with a great idea
I have been using this method for a long time. There is no better watering without a pump
This is great! Thank you.
Thanks alot you are a life saver

always enjoy and learn from your videos Jag
Spend your entire day drilling holes in $18 worth of PVC or buy a 50' soaker hose for $18 and be done with it in a minute.
Welcome to odisha very nice
Looks great.I have a question, what if you just plug this into your outside garden hose spicket? Would you have enough pressure?
Fantastic aidea
Very nice
thanks so much I will try on my farm i think very good advice I well timar God bless you all
Than you for your great ideas!! It helped me a lot!!!
This is one of uar best post I really appreciated this
I agree, I just spend a fortune on an irrigation system and this is the most cost effective way. Thanks so much for the enlightenment. I Really appreciate it.
Yep works for me. No drip, no hoses.

Brilliant! Thank you!
Awesome👍👍👏👏
Nice video...just to clarify..simple rules of physics..pressure is equal in all directions!
This is really great system. I will do it. thank you. I will for guava garden

Great vid Jag! Simple but effective especially for small scale.
Thanks for making this video i had an idea to make this type irrigation system this year but was alittle unsure of how it would work

I did something similar like this to water my front side walk so it could stay green
Nice...we will try it
Looking good. To get even pressure add a pipe on the other side connecting all 3 instead of capping off.
Verry nice

Fantastic
Nice ideas....
Thank you for the new idea
Can the pvc design just be connect to water hose but have a water regulator between the water hose and pvc pipe to adjust pressure. Thanks for video
Thanks Jag! Think this would work buried under a few inches of wood chips???
Good!
It's super. I think gap between the holes depends on water pressure

Thank you Jag i did it for my banana garden but it's not working as the water is not evenly distributed

nice one...thanks for sharing ...good ideas...

I just wanna make a sprinkler now! Ace
Can I do this same thing but connect it to a hose instead?? This would be great for my 12'x12' raised bed 😁
Yes, you can connect this to a hose.
Can you provide more info on the connectors Jag?
It's amazing it's really good for crops as well as for trees too because all the soil will be watered easily.
Me gusta todo lo relacionado con el campo
Good.
drilling a hole on one side that's about the same size as a screw head creates a much better effect as far as coverage is concerned.
Great idea for future
Love it!
....wondering if this can be done just attaching a pipe to the initial spickett or water hose for us renters........
.This is a fun activity!
I did four rows 25 feet long. It doesn't distribute evenly but of course that is to be expected. Do you think that if the whole system communicated, that is, instead of having the ends capped but rather joined with tees all the way around, would I get more even flow?
Make sure the pipe is leveled. 25 feet might be too long for 1/2 in pipe. I would only suggest 10 ft long. You can run a long 1 in pipe depending on the length of your garden bed and use 1/2in pipe for the width of the bed. could be 50 ft of 1 in pipe and 5 ft or 10 ft outlets of 1/2in pipe for example.
So if I Have 100ft bed with t's and lock of PVC valve will this work by watering two beds at a time with 2.5 HP semi trash pump
What are your measurements between each inground sprinkler
Just the idea I was looking for . Thanks for the great idea
Pretty interesting
This is awesome!
I like it, God bless you
The higher your holes, the higher the water rises, and the more you'll waste to evaporation. Also, water on leaves is a major factor for fungal diseases.
Would you recommend lowering closer to level of bed, at each plant?
Good video. But why didnt you make the runners equal lengths?????????
wonderful good demo
Jag Great video. can you show how you connected to the in ground sprinkler. it's not clear to this novice
Can I build it little bit bigger than this for Agriculture purposes like growing vegetables?
GOOD
superbro
Could this be done on a larger scale my dad as a hobby took up planting Christmas trees there are now around 150 saplings that I have to water each day would I be able to expand this design with the same effectiveness
