The effort I put into the plumbing of this system saves so much time watering in the morning! Is this something you would like to do in your garden or landscaping?
Enjoyed the video, very helpful with explaining all the parts and adaptors, that's the most difficult part; going back to the garden center 7 times. @5:12 - "I'm not too concerned about making this pretty now, *I'll do that at another time* " _It's only an expression folks, not to be taken literally_ 😅
The brand I used called for three rings of the micro-drip. I went with a continuous runs that could be flushed out. It ended up being two 1/2 loops with 22 drippers & a ten foot section of solid line to connect each loop. I already want PVC but can't decide on the design. The dripper at the front discharges water for a few seconds before the dripper at the end so PVC would even the pressures out more quickly.
BusyDads just what I was looking for! I'm going to be using a ICB tote up on hill with a 500ft run to water a dozen new trees. Any thoughts on tree water bags?
Thank you! I just planted a few more trees and was going to look into the tree bags. I would save me on plumbing. I don’t have any experience with them yet.
Besides the pressure regulator, can you please tell me what are the other parts needed for the assembly? You mentioned an adapter, a filter, a ninety degree something… thank you for this video!
You'll need a hose bib adapter to go from 3/4 inch threads to the 1/2 tubing push fitting. Sorry, I don't really know the exact stuff he used but you'll need that for sure. The best thing to do is just go to your local hardware stuff and look at everything. It can be very confusing, but take your time and don't feel rushed. If an employee offers help, just explain what you're trying to do and they should be able to assist you. If you don't want help, I would just so "No thanks, I'm just planning it in my head". Good luck!
You mention the size of the drip ring being the root ball, I have heard that you want to size the ring to the drip edge of the tree. Maybe as they grow you might enlarge the rings? Thoughts?
Love your presentation, very clear. Question, I would like to use a drip system like this for mango trees. My local nursery said I should not water everyday, that instead if I deep water once a week the roots will grow down deeper. Do you know about that, how long to use it for deep watering, once or twice a week? I’m in Florida, it’s been amazingly dry this April and May.
I never had a problem the whole season and we have a commercial level Hustler zero turn. The trick was to get the main line all the way down to the dirt.

Al this info is amazing 👏
Yes, a kit that looks easy to do!
😊 thank you very much
Fantastic video. I've got 25 fruit trees in my backyard that need a drip irrigation system like this.

Thanks! I appreciate that!
Please list all parts of the the final assembly to attach to water source. Thank you for this video!
Excellent video!!!
Thank you!
This was very helpful! Can you please send a list of the items we need to buy?
I have links in the video description
Great vid man! Quick question, can that half inch main line be buried?
If you want to bury it permanently, you would have to watch out for ice and blow the lines clear if you have freezing conditions.

I saw the website but there is multiple kits, what kit was yours?
Thanks
how high should I turn on the faucet?
You should add a 30PSI regulator on the line.

Great video, like to do myself. One thing like to ask is what’s the white thing on your trees.
It is protecting the trunks.

How much liters of water is recomanded to be irrigated on 2 years old apple tree? Thank you!
How is this system presently working for you after all this time?
It is working very well. I have advanced it to the next level with some additional parts and pieces.
You mention the size of the drip ring being the root ball, I have heard that you want to size the ring to the drip edge of the tree. Maybe as they grow you might enlarge the rings? Thoughts?
As the tree gets bigger, I will have a bigger ring and more emitters.
Good

I was running every 2-3 days and giving them 2-3 gallons each time.
Your trees are quite large and probably have more extensive root system and that circle is too small for them. It should be quite wider.
cool!
how and where purchase of this things in Pakistan
I am not sure where to point you for that. I am sorry.
RIP Main line because of lawn mower.

Deer don't eat your fruit trees?
We have been lucky so far.
Super cheesy 🧀 install 👌🏻 low budget maximum 😂 system can be replaced yearly for $50
