This is a great how-to. Straight forward, easy to understand and very informative. Thank you!

@deborahmiller2403 5 лет назад

Terrific video, Jim. Thanks so much. I have to leave my garden for a couple of weeks in June and want to have a system in place by May. You've got me ready to build.

@vickipackham7357 3 года назад

Love your videos Jim. Always the perfect length with the perfect amount of detail. Sometimes as your talking a question will come to my mind and the next thing I know, you are answering it. I can't think of anything you could do better.

@mjfalcon007 3 года назад

These videos are fantastic. I knew nothing about irrigation until a few days ago and your content has been really helpful. Thank you

@michellelegaspi5931 6 лет назад

Another great video...thanks Jim! I think I found the answers I was looking for. Such a great resource of information!

@sheabuttertv 6 лет назад

Great video. I'm glad you show us the difference between the emitters and why you would choose a bubbler over a sprayer. All other youtubers assume that we know.

@thepetes8 6 лет назад

Going on a 2-week vacation and was looking into paying someone to come water all of our flowers every day. This system is way easier than I thought, and will save us money. Your video was so helpful, thanks Jim!

@patElfpat 6 лет назад

Fantastic! I thought this was going to be so much more complicated but it sounds very straight forward. Now I’m going to buy the parts for my system and I will not have to depend on advice from a sales person who has never used a system like this. I’ll post again when the system is in use.

This is incredibly helpful. This is my first year gardening and I have about 4 huge planters and 4 medium pots. I’m not sure I’m growing enough to warrant this investment, but we are going on holiday for almost 2 weeks in the middle of June and I know all my efforts would die if I don’t do something like this!

@usagi1848 6 лет назад

With the constant water for your plants, you may want to consider a trough system under all your plants to collect and divert water into lawn or better yet another plant on your lawn below. This may prevent your wooden deck from having water damage creating another problem of needing to replace rotted wood decking. Your video was excellent! Thank you!

@jomassey4207 Год назад

Thanks Jim. Excellent video for reasonably priced irrigation. I noticed people are having problems with the gardenia solar system irrigation. They're using cheap plastic as the water pressure regulators and they're splitting and squirting all over the place. 3 very bad reviews at my local hardware store....so won't be wasting time and money. I'm not paying $270 for something made in Sweden that if a part breaks, you're stuffed. Nothing like putting together it yourself with quality parts and reasonable cost. Thanks ....took many notes.

@adamking4347 4 года назад

Hi! Great video. I was just looking into building something almost identical as far as size and components. My difference is I need to pump water from a holding bin. I'm figuring on 18 spots and would need to water about 6 cups at each spot around every other day. But I cant figure what size pump? Should I use some kind of backflow blocker and pressure release valve? Thanks in advance for any help

@Jdash411 2 года назад

@Gigi-fv9ky 6 лет назад

This has been a great series. Very helpful.Since you raised the pots up off the surface, you could even bring the tubes up throught the bottom of the pot so that it is even less noticeable, right? I'm thinking if you lined them all up against the railing, with the main line between the pots and the rail, then ran the tubes up through the bottom, you'd hardly even see it.

Mr. Putnam. I just subscribed because I noticed this video. It was very informative. I have already installed a drip irrigation system for my potted tomatoes but I don't think I set up the drainage for the pots correctly. In your introduction, you state that you have shot some previous videos on how you set up the pots. I could not find the link for those. I am looking forward to viewing the rest of your videos. Thanks again.

Question: Do you think that style of dripper can be compatible with dry fertilizers? I'm looking for something that can mimic hand watering as typical drippers do not.

@joseortiz5965 3 года назад

@Outdoor_Don 6 лет назад

I have the same set up with 40 grow bags. Mine does not have the umbrella spray pattern as it should. Not sure if this is due to the amount of pots I have. It literally comes out as a bubble only watering in 1 area immediately around the emitter.

@veronicallamas9333 2 года назад

I’ve been researching on the best way to use a drip line on my pots. I am no longer a fan of the those emitters you used, I feel like it waters to fast and to much and ends up on the floor really quick. I’m thinking about trying the 1/4’’ tubing with the emitter already on them and spaced out every 6’’ and cutting it into a circle. But I’m not sure if I’ll have that same issue as the other emitter. Ugh I’m breaking my head trying to figure out the best emitters for my yard.

@jpgr69 3 года назад

Thank you for this video! The link doesn't go to any products except a home heart testing kit?

@rymaster4385 5 лет назад

Is there a limit on how many emitters or limit on length of tubing before you start to see a loss in water flow?

@lorilorihallelujah1753 7 лет назад

This is the best video on irrigation I've seen in the past 2 years. Please make an irrigation video on (1) shrubs, (2) trees, and (3) herbaceous perennials (this name I just learned recently from one of your videos). I've already finished my back yard and 1 side yard but I had so many questions and very little help. I would like to confirm if I am on the right track. It's been so difficult. Appreciate your very informative videos.

@martiharris7887 Год назад

I am just watering tomato plants in containers, and annual flowers in the ground - all on the same 1/2" tubing. I am using .5 gph emitters with 1/4" line to each plant with a drip emitter with a stake at the end of each line. I noticed it wasn't getting around the whole plant like I thought it should. Can I still use those .5 gph emitters with the bubblers? If so, can they remain the 1/2" tube, or do I need to move them to the end of the 1/4" tube just before the bubbler. I wish I had found your video before I put my system in! I am running my system for 1 hour each day.

@Willis49471 2 года назад

Very informative! Only question I have is how much does this affect your water bill? Would you say you’ve saved money installing controlled irrigation vs. can watering?

@ssulli 7 лет назад

What is a good application for a dripper? I see people use them on trees and shrubs but is one dripper enough--as in does it bias the roots to one side? How far away from the base would you put it so that the roots grow outward? Setting up a RainBird system and they have those 1GPH drippers that I planned on putting to some Fragrant Tea Olives.

@JimPutnam 7 лет назад

+Shawn Sullivan Drip irrigation is perfect for shrubs and trees because it can be placed under your mulch so you loose nothing to evaporation. They make the half inch pipe with the droppers already in it spaced properly.

@Yoav76 7 месяцев назад

@Nathanallenpinard 4 года назад

I have an issue with these emitters, they tend to water fast enough to run out the bottom and leave dry spots, and the entire pot bottom is wet, but the top gets dry. I'm not sure if this is normal behavior if I were to just use a slow 1hr drip emitter system at .5gph with two or three emitters. These bubblers tend to put out a lot of water at once. Have you by chance changed your system?

@psyketube 5 лет назад

Great vid, great channel. I set up this system for all my pot plants, what I found was my water pressure is too low to cover all of them, it basically became a drip system. Any tips?

@JimPutnam 5 лет назад

Does your clock have multiple zones? Unfortunately, that is the solution. Break the zone in half and have two or more connections on the clock.
