Vegetable Gardening: How to Install a Drip Irrigation System

[TheyDontSee]

about how much would all this cost? the equipment, I mean. And can I get all this stuff at Lowes?

[Omisslewis1976]

This is excellent, I cannot wait to get started. The only thing I would like to see is a run down of the supplies needed with photos and names, that would really be cool. I know you went through some of it in the beginning as you attached things to the house line but it would have been good to see what kind of elbows, what they look like up close so I can get what I need on my first trip to home depot. Love it though, just built my beds so can't wait to build this!

The video operator of this clip needs to take basic course in Lighting 101. Way to much contrast and dark shadows where you need light. You can't see clearly what they are doing. You need some artificial light to highlight your subject. Details are lost in shadows. Excellent video but lacking in this important detail.

@ColMajor I know what you mean, it also seems like in the editing process they messed around with the tint and saturation. But none the less informative video, best on on drip irrigation I've seen so far.

1:55 ha-ha he said nibble...

you should be using black and white polly, white side up with holes cut for your plants . it will save a ton of water and keep the root systems cool !

I looked into buying one of those hoses that sweats. It had a label on it that said it contains lead, should I be concerned? Is it an irrelivant amount of lead? Maybe its big agriculture trying to deter people from gardening?

she reminds me of oprah, wish i could afford a drip system :(

[halleysmommy]

Am I losing my mind?! I swear I saw this and most of your recently posted videos already! Did you delete and repost them or something? I'm really confused... lol.

[14dollarz]

Thanks a lot for posting this video! I didn't know how easy this could be and I based my setup off of this and posted a video today of my setup. Thanks again. Your video's rock!

[Praxxus55712]

That is just an insane amount of raised beds Patti! I want those paving blocks between the beds. Very cool! :)

[Nazzrai]

I enjoyed watching it from the start to the end, very informative and nice nice background music, by the way.

Learnt a lot in just 8:18 minutes. Thank you.

[QuickGardens]

Wow, what a great project. How many days did it take to finish?

[kbgrowkid420]

great info..thanks

[PCOStherealdeal]

one question... does the timer need to be plugged into an outlet? it does it run off battery's? Could it be solar?

[DripWorks]

@PCOStherealdeal All 3 types of timers that you asked about are available. Dripworks has both battery timers and electric timers. We used to carry a solar timer, but it just wasn't selling so we had to discontinue it.

[Roel21]

Wow! Thank you very much! Love your videos =)

[TangoSpiceCompany]

Excellent video as always!

Garden season is fast approaching and this is sure to be abig help.

[Whippetfest]

Thank you! Love your videos : )

[ForbiddenStallion]

Fantastic video!  Thank you!

[Cutchswife]

Great idea. You are a great presenter Patty. Always very clear. You should have your own tv show.

[jihadacadien]

Great video as always! Would be nice if a system like that could work with rain water. I suppose with a pump.?

[skeletonmom]

@jihadacadien - I just took an organic gardening class and they mentioned that it can be done if you sit your rainbarrel up about 3 feet or so and have the dripline run from the bottom out to the garden. Doing it that way provides the pressure needed to move the water. But, it also depends on how long your drip line is, too.

[jihadacadien]

@skeletonmom This is great! thanks!

[DripWorks]

For every 2.3 feet of elevation you gain 1 pound of pressure. Page 12 of the new (free) Dripworks catalog talks a little bit about low pressure systems.

[skeletonmom]

@DripWorks - Cool! Thanks!!!

[HungryHillboy]

Do chemicals leech from the plastic and in to the water that is watering the plants?

I know it happens in a lot, but not all plastics.

Must have more new videos.... Can't wait for better weather for you!

[leonspringer]

Next month Patti will have another drip video from Dripworks

[Necrowitch]

wow! I'm glad I waited to install my drip system! this really helps!

[mihalspinvinyl]

...though I wonder, is it the same principal for 'gravity' fed systems ? Like at my new plot we have no taps ! , only water butts... gues It''ll work with some bodging ..

[mihalspinvinyl]

brilliant , cheers for taking the time... propper helpful, nice one /.

[woodswoman783]

I love your vids.  They are so informative and upbeat! Thank you so much for sharing your gardens with us.

[justmy10cents]

lookin good girl

[CAlex6977]

Neat. Thanks for the tips. I think there were a few logical errors in this system that Patti would have done different on her own. Good info though. Cant wait for the good weather to show up.
