Hanging baskets can be very difficult to water due to their elevation - even when you can water them, the elevated nature makes it difficult to water them effectively.

Thank you Jacquie, I truly appreciate the kind words! If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to shout out at any time!

@yellowdog762jb 3 месяца назад

Excellent video. It seems like with only 3 baskets you could use a thinner main line.

@dripdepot 3 месяца назад

Spot on -- so long as the line wouldn't be too long and the emitters were not turned all the way up, a 1/4" mainline could definitely support 3 baskets without trouble, you've got it exactly right :)

@Ms_shael 3 месяца назад

This was helpful! Thank you! I’m wondering how to install on brick. What instructions would you give? Thank you.

@dripdepot 3 месяца назад

Great question! There are a couple ways you can achieve this -- perhaps the easiest way we've seen is to use industrial strength double sided tape (often used by folks without a drill). Even out in the elements this stuff is strong (so strong it may actually be difficult to ever remove it, something to keep in mind if you don't want this to be semi-permanent). Fluted masonry nails can also do the trick, as can drilling into the brick with a masonry bit and then using an anchor screw. And there are what's called "Brick Clips" Brick clips are generally best for horizontal runs and they have a reasonably nice look that doesn't hurt the overall aesthetic. I hope this helps you get started!

I ordered my hanging basket kit from Drip Depot and watched this video step by step as I installed my system. This video made it so easy! Thank-you for very clear and basic instructions. As an afterthought, I purchased a common battery timer from a big box store. My brass anti-siphon valve (that came in your kit) is forcefully spraying a LOT of water out from where it connects to the timer. I keep dismantling and pushing down the rubber gasket; it looks to be seated properly. Any suggestions for me to try next?

@dripdepot 2 месяца назад

Happy to help! Rachel, where do you currently have the brass backflow preventer installed? If you're not already, try it on the outlet side of the timer so the order is: Spigot --> Timer --> Backflow Preventer. If you're already doing that, let me know when it is spraying this water (during operation, only after shut-down, etc) :)

@Rachel5280 2 месяца назад

Wow, thanks for the quick reply! It was leaking when the timer was on. Brass versus plastic threads on the timer...brass wins. The threads were a bit mangled from my attempts to connect the anti-siphon. I had to toss the new timer, but I ordered another one (drat!) and will assemble the faucet connection together FIRST at my kitchen table, THEN attach the whole thing to the spigot outside as the last step. My spigot is only 6 inches off the ground, so it's not the easiest to see and work with. Otherwise, everything worked as it should. My patio plants will be gorgeous this summer.

@@Rachel5280 Rachel, if you end up needing some assistance with your head assembly on the low spigot, let me know -- mine at home is similarly only about 6" from the ground. And good call assembling it at the table first, that low-key one of the better tips out there, I'm going to get that into a tips and tricks video, thank you for that :)
