It has taken a few years of experimenting to really understand all these components and which ones work best for the plants I'm trying to grow. As always, I'll continue to make tweaks and adjustments based on what I'm seeing, but I'm thrilled with the early results.
As promised, here are all the products and components that I am utilizing:

I have Muck Boots for when my garden floods and Muck shoes for wet soil/grass conditions. Love em.

Love Love Love this video. I have been gardening for over 20 years now and really started to move towards a more organic style of gardening in the past 10 years. During this change I made different upgrades like making my own compost. These days, I make up to 4 types of compost yearly and that has really changed my soil health and how much I spend on fertilizers. I then moved away from paid city water to capturing rain in 50 gallon barrels. This year I upgraded my rain capturing system from 1-50 gallon drum to now 3-50 gallon drums. My next upgrade will be running an irrigation system from 2 of my 3 rain barrels to all my raised beds, this way I can water my garden without the need to pay for it AND save a crazy amount of time when having to water my plants. I'm pretty positive that my garden bounty will increase just from regular watering. Thanks for making this video and putting it out there for Canada and the world to see. Love watching all your videos and shorts. It's refreshing to see another Canadian perspective on backyard gardening. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

You can increase the length of the 1/4 drip line lengths by connecting it to the mainline at both ends!

Great video. It can be very confusing getting started with these systems. It’s nice to see a breakdown like this. Thank you sir!

@MindandSoil 2 месяца назад

Thanks so much! Yeah I am thinking actually doing a beginner video of it where I spent more time on all the components and actually show how to connect all them, program the timer, etc.!

@jeffsullivan3362 2 месяца назад

I like your setup. Couple of suggestions; If you want to turn off a single emitter put a short 1/4" hose with an oops plug. Also you can increase the amount of water for any emitter or hose by extending the watering time on that zone. Obvious suggestions but I didn't hear you mention them. My garden is set up on 1 zone but I fully intend to change that next season.

@seanpetersen8044 Месяц назад

Do you have a link to an example of an oops plug? Also the brass connector s that go directly into the timer. I'm having trouble finding the exact units. Do you know what those are?

@BizFerrets-vr6io 2 месяца назад

Excellent video. Now I am inspired to connect a drip system to the main lines that are curranty in the raised planters. Thanks for adding the volume of water and times.

@tamibc1686 2 месяца назад

Great video, Jord - thanks for the link. Clear and concise. I like how you used different types of irrigation for different areas. Never thought to run a double timer. That's really smart! I'm still not clear whether the 4 runs of 1/4" with 6" emitters or the 3 runs of 1/2" with 12" emitters are doing better in my raised beds. Looks about the same right now. Although, with this heat, everything is doing well. Looking forward to watching more.❤

@janew5351 2 месяца назад

It took you 2 months to set this up! Oooow, probably i should get splitter , timer and long drip tape to simplify the process.

@MindandSoil 2 месяца назад

Yeah it took a bit of time because I was playing around with lots of different components. I'm really happy with how it has all turned out and is performing, so hopefully this video saves you a few months (or years for that matter) of trial and error!

@beeconnectionzzz8786 2 месяца назад

Loved the video...I've just started watching your channel. Quick question: do you practise crop rotation? If so, are you going to move each of the "watering systems" to follow the crops that it is watering. For example, in zone 1 you have the emitters spaced for every tomato plant, however, in Zone 2 (where your carrots are), you use 1/4" tubing. Therefore, when you move the tomatoes to another bed, the watering systems would have to move along with the them. etc. Not sure if that is clear?? Thanks!!

@MindandSoil 2 месяца назад

Great q! I don't practice crop rotation. Crop Rotation is done when it's not possible to amend the beds for nutrients needed. This is common practice on farms because of the size (it would not be economical to amend all of them with compost and fertilizer). But in a backyard environment we can amend them each season, but are going to be more limited on the sun front. So, I optimize for sun exposure. Once I find a good place for a plant I keep it there unless I notice a pest/disease occurring multiple years in a row, which I haven't had happen yet :).

Thank you so much for the support, literally wearing them every time I'm in the garden!!

@jimwinthrop839 2 месяца назад

Another question. My water pressure runs 35psi to 68psi. Do you use a regulator or adjust all the sprinklers constantly ?

@janenares5422 2 месяца назад

What happens if you move plants next year? Do you need to keep plants in the same place every year? And does the system need to be blown out for the winter, and if so, how?

@MindandSoil 2 месяца назад

@anne-lynnbancroft8217 2 месяца назад

Thank you very much, very informative as always. I have been using a similar system myself :) Question: What do you do for the winter? Do you take it all apart and store or just close it off and leave it? Thanks!

@MindandSoil 2 месяца назад

Great q! I leave it all in place and just remove the automatic timer which I bring inside. A lot of people will then blow their lines with compressed air but I haven't even done that in past years and have not had any issues (as they're not pressurized so the water has space to expand when it freezes as is)

@barbarajonesmartin8459 2 месяца назад

I have always dome the same - turn off the tap and bring the timers in but I just learnedy that it's recommended to remove the tap splitters over winter too. I have to replace 2 this season (leaking even when closed) and like the splitt er you're using (adding a new bed) The link isn't working for several of the products you use - can you share the brand you have. Thanks...great info. Always adapting as plants and beds change so good to see other options.

@MindandSoil 2 месяца назад

@@barbarajonesmartin8459 Thx for spotting that! Looks like I missed hitting enter, I just updated them.

@remedychef 22 дня назад

So what was the setup for the garlic bed?

@strgazr04 2 месяца назад

How did you connect the half inch line for your tomatoes to the main line? I have the barbs to go from half inch to quarter but nothing for half to half. Can you put the two gallon emitter into a quarter inch tubing instead?

@MindandSoil 2 месяца назад

Great question. I cut the header and put a T splitter in. Then I reconnected the header and out of the T I ran more main line down the bed at the base of the tomatoes :). And yes you can put the 2gph emitters directly into 1/4" feeder line. So another way to get this exact same outcome would have been to leave the header as it was and then punch 8 holes into the header and then run 1/4" feeder line from each of these holes to the base of each plant :)

@sveaallan5253 2 месяца назад

Why is the brand of the irrigation timer Vigoro in your video but the link is to a Melnor brand one? Do they work the same and/or are programmed the same? 😊😊

@MindandSoil 2 месяца назад

Yup they are programmed the exact same and probably are the exactly same product. I bought mine at Home Depot a few years ago but if I were to buy a new one right now I would buy that Melnor one from Lee Valley :)

@TheExtremebulldog 2 месяца назад

No vacuum breaker?

@MindandSoil 2 месяца назад

Nope!

@jimwinthrop839 2 месяца назад

I've been trying to find an inline feeder for a similar setup. Do you sell one or know a source??

@MindandSoil 2 месяца назад

Like the 1/4" Drip line that I use?

@jimwinthrop839 2 месяца назад

I use 3/4 garden hose to supply the system and would like to add a fertilizer mixer at that point because my drippers go 4 inches below the surface, which reduces evaporation.
