@rompeola5

It's called "speaking American". ;-)

WELL DONE , YOU CAN RUN WORM / COMPOST TEA THRU FOR REALLY GREAT RESULTS (FILTER REAL GOOD FIRST) SO AS NOT TO PUG UP THE FINE SPRAYERS.

@RDLONG30 I'm a big fan of compost tea!!!!

[finderoftheway]

Very good video... where can I buy the supply's for this set up? Looks like you spent a fortune on pots alone.

[sal39759]

@finderoftheway any farm/garden supply can order the materials or from the net at places like "irrigation mart' or "dripworks". Yeah, I did spend a few bucks on containers!

[waylan3]

v ery nice what do they call a system like this $800 seems cheap to me

[sal39759]

@waylan3 not really sure what it's called.....since it can be used year after year, the price gets reasonable.

Thanks for the video, I will use some of this info for my system.

[wabdatl]

cool video. Thanks for making it.

[filmitfilmit]

I have been interested in this for awhile ,, how much did the system cost?

[sal39759]

@filmitfilmit

I had about $800 in this system and it would handle 500 pots.

@sal39759 whats the dimensions of your pots?? great work!! u should add a compost tea setup to increase the soil microorganisms, it increases plant growth 10 fold!

[sal39759]

@boxa888 I used 1 & 3 gal pots......I am in the process of setting up a 200 gal system to brew the tea! Thanks....Greg

[boxa888]

wow!! very nice!! i am planning on tryin it out in the spring! really nice work u are doin! what u think about grow bags??

[sal39759]

@boxa888 I think grow bags are really great! I didn't know about them at the time I used these containers.....but they are a very good option!

[happygameshow]

where do you get an irrigation system like that?

[sal39759]

@happygameshow

I ordered it through my local farmer's Co-op. There are two good companies, Dripworks and Irrigation Mart that are very helpful in setting up a system and have all the components for this system. Both have websites and free catalogs.

[spider54545]

What's the material you have laid out under the pots, and where did you get it?

[sal39759]

@spider54545 Spider, it's called nursery cloth or ground cover. I purchased it at my local farmer's co-op. Any nursery should be able to order it for you. Thanks....Greg

[stonecoldjason]

can you do this with peas, butterbeans, corn, orka

[sal39759]

Hey Jason, I wouldn't use this system on those crops, but instead, I would use drip tape! It is even easier to use!

[jakescollectibles]

Greg, remember......there are child labor laws!!! Just Kidding, darling little girl. Bet she grows all the vegetables, you just supervise. Oh.....gotta go......Jeff's come over to to help with the harvesting.... :)

Sandy

[sal39759]

Sandy, you got it backwards...........I do all the work and SHE supervises!!!!

[stonecoldjason]

lol that is the problems kids do not work anymore, you cannot even get a kid to cut grass anymore unless there is a riding lawn mower and you pay them $20

[BolognaRingRanch]

Lock up the sheep fellers!!!

I'm headin' south!!!!!!

[webcajun]

Jeff doesn't have time to stop and help, he's on his way down here to Louisiana with his front end loader to help me. Should arrive sometime next month.

That is a neat operation you got going there. I like it...... Donald

[sal39759]

Donald, Jeff's gonna be delayed........remember, he has to pass through here first!!!!

[BolognaRingRanch]

That's one fine operation you've got going on..Love the video!! I bet the REAL gardener, is at the end of the video!!!

Good setup my friend!!

Jeff

[sal39759]

Thanks Jeff,  When ya coming to help me pick it???

[HLCpromow]

Great job! What kinda cost are we talking with your setup? I like it a lot! thinking of the same type of system. thanks

[sal39759]

Tim, way too much!!!!! I'll send ya a pm on it.

[sal39759]

Thanks Ray!

[Praxxus55712]

I've seen this type of system before. It is absolutely perfect for spot watering and conservation of water. You did an excellent job setting it up. Very cool. :)
