So many how to on youtube just repeating the same stuff over and over, not here ! I took notes and felt like i got it the first time. Great video thanks a ton.

@JimPutnam 2 года назад

Thanks for watching.

@chrisclanton7714 3 года назад

I don't normally comment on youtube videos, but this is perhaps the most informative video I've ever seen on here. I was getting into the weeds trying to figure out how to add a drip irrigation system to my vegetable garden, and there's like a million videos for each particular product. This just gives the general overview I needed all along. Thanks for this. I can't wait to watch the other videos in this series as I get more advanced with it!

@chrisclanton7714 3 года назад

ha! Just read the rest of the comments on this video saying the exact same thing. Someone nominate this video for a webby already!

@crosscountryhomestead4288 2 года назад

This is so very helpful! Thank you for the clear instruction. I've watched the videos and I"m now rewatching right before we go outside and install ours today!

@nolagirl7082 2 года назад

Same! I’m at the point where I’m ready to install the drip system. It’s my first time and my husband has absolutely no clue what he is doing! I’m watching YT videos and trying to freshen up before I purchase everything I need and install it. This video series was by far the most helpful

@everettedl 5 лет назад

You have made drip irrigation TREMENDOUSLY more simple than reading the instructions that came with my system. I think I can actually get this done now, haha. Thank you!

@martywanlass4774 Год назад

I'm doing this today, and am feeling more confident AFTER watching this.

@rgzhaffie 3 года назад

People planning to feed drip lines directly from their home plumbing (eg, via an outside hose bib) and leave the connections in place indefinitely and unattended also need to look into setting up some kind of code compliant backflow preventer assembly (eg, a pressure vacuum breaker, a doublecheck valve assembly, etc). Most municipalities legally require it.

@ninamofor857 3 года назад

This is amazing. Thank you for the detailed information. I have been watching videos on drip irrigation for weeks and this is the first time I am actually able to understand well enough to make a list.

@raymondperez7630 4 года назад

Hi Jim. My first post. After reviewing several you tube videos on installing drip irrigation systems, i finally worked up a flow design. Very simple in nature but more importantly, i found the confidence to do it myself. Ordered everything i need and I'm now just waiting for the items to arrive. Appreciate your easy to watch instructions.

@kaileencbruno 4 года назад

I just came across your video as well and have to say I was very intimidated at the beginning of the video looking at all the pipe/tubing but by the end I feel confident I could explain it (along with the notes I took) to someone else. I know it will still take me forever to plan it out and lay it in our very small yard, but I finally feel like this a doable task now. Looking forward to watching your next videos. Thanks for taking the time to create and share this info with all of us! I appreciate you!!

@josephtucci1872 5 лет назад

Thank you my friend I was going to hook that 18 inch to my veggies. I wasn't sure about the 1/4 tubing. This is my second year doing this. Last year I ran punch hole with with those bubbler in my vegetable garden. I wasn't happy in the performance. Now that i'm restarting over again you answer my question..God bless You. Happy Easter..

@f3n1xplat3ad0 4 года назад

Thank you. I feel more confident about my options for water irrigation after this video. Taking time explain all the tools, fitting and tubing names to the point. This is the best video about irrigation in You Tube!!!

@raviprakash9430 4 года назад

I have been watching videos on setting up a basic drip system for my small home garden. This one is the best. I wish I had seen this earlier. Choice of a main line with 1/4 inch drip line with built in emitters is an excellent recommendation. Keeps it simple with very few parts. Thanks

@judewillis1084 6 лет назад

Good info...especially the tip about the necessity to change the imitters on hanging baskets throughout the season. I would have never known that. Thanks Jim.

@DeeAnnKjelshusJohnson 3 года назад

I appreciate this video so much! I have drip run to my containers but want to also run some to my flower beds. You cover every detail perfectly, thank you!

@charlescrowell4035 5 лет назад

FINALLY!!! Somebody explaining and showing a proper drip irrigation system/setup that is not PVC pipe with holes drill in them ... folks that is not a drip system ... a spray system of some sort but not drip!!! Great video!

@yousircantknow8987 5 лет назад

How do farmers water again? You are a moron.

@Litknits 6 лет назад

Your explanations and directions are clear and very helpful for a novice. Thanks

@JimPutnam 6 лет назад

I'm glad. A little nervous when there is that much to say. The next videos will hopefully be easier to understand with that explanation behind us.

@craftysusan286 4 года назад

Thanks for the info. I. Want to take a vacation and I just didn’t know how simple it is to put down for my veggies. I know my neighbor won’t have a problem picking them while I’m gone LOL. You’re easy to listen to and follow. Again thanks!

@julieannaface 3 года назад

I feel like I can do this myself after watching!! Thank you!!

@acerpalmatum6446 5 лет назад

@JimPutnam 4 года назад

Thanks for watching. I'm about to start a new series soon

@gandalfthemead3121 3 года назад

Great video. Now I have a plan for my garden boxes, They are 4 x 8 x 2 boxes with 1/2" threaded pvc pipe in the middle pointed up coming from a valve that I can add to my controller. So my plan is to put a regulator with filter on first, then the adapter for the 17 mm line. Loop that down to the dirt in the box, close it. Tap into the 17 mm line for my drip line. Put an on off switch in and run my drip line!

@xa4047 2 года назад

Great video! I really appreciate the tutorial. It was worth the commercial breaks

@dwohio8283 3 года назад

Very through. Thank you! I use this timer and these lines. Dewitt has great landscape staples, very reasonably priced.

@swobodams 5 лет назад

Soooooooooo happy I didn’t just try to wing this on my own. Awesome, easy how-to guide.

@2towks 3 года назад

I’ve watched dozens of videos to better acquaint myself with this type of drip irrigation. I have to say your series is the only one that appealed to me. I’ll be watching these on repeat again. I’m wondering if you have a comprehensive list of the sizes of your pipes and tubing and all of the punches and fittings so that I know what to look for. I wish I had a hands on mentoring session, but I think I can do this with your videos.

@Fauxjob 6 лет назад

Great video tutorial,,, love the color of the tubing as well, this upped my level of confidence in trying this. The birds sounds are awesome!

@darcyhenson3252 5 лет назад

Super helpful. I think I can do this!

@doubleganger2 5 лет назад

If you have your timer at the end of a hose be sure and put the pressure reducer before the hose. Most hoses are not able to withstand constant pressure without eventually bursting or the fittings blowing off. I learned this the hard way.

@lisacardenas6148 4 года назад

Great video. Thanks. I am trying to work my drip irrigation now. Very helpful

@erike7297 2 года назад

Excellent presentation and lesson.

@seanhickey781 6 лет назад

I added irrigation to my landscape last fall and this spring and is well worth the relatively small upfront cost and time it saves.

@JimPutnam 6 лет назад

Very true.

@EvanSiegel54 Месяц назад

Take a clean yoghurt container and put a sewing needle through the bottom. Fill it with water and see how long it takes to empty. That will give you the time it will take to empty and you can work from there to decide how big a container you actually will need--a pint, a quart, a gallon, multiple gallons, etc.

Legend has it those batteries are still running ☝

@soccermom1245 3 года назад

Thanks! I want to try this. The soaker hoses are okay but I know this would be better

@joegolok 4 года назад

My connectors and tubing was way harder to connect than yours. Fingers got a bit sore haha. I ended up using a torch to soften the 1/4” tubing before attaching connectors or emitters and it made a huge difference.

@JimPutnam 4 года назад

I would always lay it out in the sun on landscape jobs to soften it up

@hosseingoogoonani6934 5 лет назад

tnx a lot

@augustwestusa 5 лет назад

I'm wondering if you have tried connecting into a 1/4" soaker hose? I'm thinking that would work the same. Thanks so much very helpful!

@abiolaakinbobola3614 4 года назад

Thanks so much for your efforts. Very good explanation. Pls, I wanted to know how much it would cost me to have a vegetable farm of an acre irrigated using the 6 inches spacing and considering that I have nothing else but just a water source.

@dubiousjesse 5 лет назад

I have only watched the first 3 minutes, but the way you're explaining it seems like itll be easy for a beginner to do. I have lots of plants in large pots, will i be able to add water with the drip system as well?

@georgelowellohhdgg63nnd96 2 года назад

How durable is the distro hose to long life under wood chips? Also, what do you do for winter to prevent water freeze/brust?

@mamabear6670 4 года назад

Hey!! Quick question about the tubing. I see some tubing listed as pressure compensating and are priced higher compared to the tubing that is not labeled as such. Is the press comp tubing necessary if I am putting a pressure reg at faucet? Thank you. Love your videos!!

@kimshannon6408 Год назад

You've made an amazing video, thank you so much from New Zealand. Would you happen to be from (I think) North Carolina? You sound alot like Judge Trey Gowdy, Cheers!!

@WesAlexander 2 года назад

Do I need a different(bigger) poker tool for the 1/2in barb for shrubs and trees?

@CrAzYAuNtSiSsy 4 года назад

DO you have a link to the barbed end drip emitter ? (I want mine to drip at the end)Thanks for sharing such great info.

@rawbit 3 года назад

I always get leaks at my swivel connector on the timer or the hose/tube connector, is there a fix?

@rgzhaffie 3 года назад

The o-ring gaskets are replaceable, so you could try that. But otherwise, something might be damaged and preventing a watertight seal from forming. Leaving water inside those parts overnight during a freeze could crack them, among other things.

@beckyatrain 4 года назад

these are awesome, where is the video where you show how to hook it up to an electrical irrigation system?

@cheersmeme Год назад

Hi.. I see this is an older video. But you make it look easy. So I'm following what you're doing. 😊 It's my first time setting this up. I have all the parts as of today. You talk about a filter and pressure regulator. I don't have those yet. Here's why. I use a lot of worm casting in my garden. I have 9 Rubbermaid bins of Red Wigglers. Every summer, I put an RV Water filter on the faucet and then hook the hose onto that. So the chlorine ect ect bad stuff is filterd out the water. So doesn't kill everything in the casting. My question is.. Can I just attach my ½ hose to the RV filter ? Would that do the same as the filter and pressure regulator you have . I don't want to spend $$ if I don't need to. 🙂

@joydavis4087 Год назад

I was just wondering what PSI regulator do you recommend for drip tape? You’ve got a 25 PSI on your parts list. Wondering if that’s too much for drip tape.

@Cyberharp08 2 месяца назад

Do you recommend a 2 way splitter from the timer for 2 areas? If so, which one? Would I need two pressure regulators attached to each side of the splitter? Thanks for your helpful video.

@CindiElbrecht Год назад

Can someone PLEASE tell me how long (hours/ minutes) you run your drip? I’ve ask Laura and every other gardening channel I watch. That’s the big mystery, not all the bits and parts. Well, that was a mystery at first but videos like yours certainly helped!

@michaelroth6258 4 года назад

I want to have the emitter lines water the garden for germination of seeds and for plant growth of vegetables in a small garden, I'll use the hose, timer, pressure reg. and filter and then distribute through the emitter lines. Can that do both the germination of seeds and the growing stages?
