    Bit of a longer video than usual, but I wanted to cover as much of the process as possible. If you have any questions about this system, drop a comment and I'll try to answer it!

    Your videos are the best! I like that you show all the difficulties that any regular person will probably experience as well, so we know exactly what to expect!

    Small tip,if you dip the tubing in some warm/hot water they slide on way easier

    Is the base of this green house dug out into the ground? What's the idea behind that? Is there some benefits regarding temperature or moisture? Or just to keep height above ground to a minimum?

    • @TryingToBuildStuff
      @TryingToBuildStuff  2 года назад +2

      Yes, it is dug out quite a bit. Almost 80cm at one end of the greenhouse. It was mostly to even out the terrain, make room for proper drainage beneath it (packed gravel and a drain trench into a stone chest), but also to keep the height above ground to a minimum :) We gained about 50cm extra height, which is great! :)

    I have a question. Can you leave the black hose in the winter outside if you remove the water? So you dont need to install it all over. Ive seen your vid where the grey thing was not winterproof. But the rest is?

    Is it a solenoid on/off switch that creates water hammer?

    It seems like the Gardena small flow/pressure control taps are not good at providing a low pressure. They are either off or on very high.

    • @TryingToBuildStuff
      @TryingToBuildStuff  2 года назад +1

      Noticed the same thing. I had some problems with dirt getting into the taps though, so after rinsing them out they worked better. But I agree, it's super tricky to adjust them to find some kind of middle ground / low pressure setting.

    Hello fella , my grand dad is having a big fruit tree garden consisting more than 150 trees, unfortunately he isn't willing or open to any type of improvement. I was wondering will this device will be useful for a big land ot would you recommend me any alternative way of watering.

    • @TryingToBuildStuff
      @TryingToBuildStuff  2 года назад

      Wow, that's a lot of trees to water! I think you need something on a more industrial grade for that, this is more for smaller plants. Not sure what to recommend to be honest, that's a bit out of my league. Good luck! :)

      @prichards8229 8 месяцев назад

      I have just bought 180ft (Apprx 52mtrs)of the smaller hose and it would make more sense to only use it in one length, instead of cutting small lenght to be attached to the thicker hose. Unfortunately, I could not find any answer to this online.

      @@brunocauchon2852 I like it very much. Especially the feature that lets me trigger the watering session depending on soil moisture, that's perfect for giving the plants just the right amount of water. Thinking about getting more sensors though, to measure the moisture level more accurate around the garden.
