While setting up a new drip system in my father-in-law's garden earlier this year, I discovered several new pieces and improvements to our existing drip irrigation setup. Join us as we show you how we'll be simplifying and improving our drip irrigation systems in the backyard garden.
We'll also provide an update on some of the canning we've been doing lately. We'll share a new tip we found to keep pickles crunchy and crispy, and also show you the best jelly we've ever made -- ShoeBuddy Muscadine Jelly.

After many, many years of gardening, I finally made the plunge into the drip system from Hoss Tools. Man! Why did I wait so long!? I’m a believer brother. Most productive garden ever! No going back ever. 👍

@fozzieprepper6923 Год назад

Have truly become a fan of drip irrigation this. A great time saver once set up.

@casualgardeningwithdustin 2 месяца назад

It's cool to see a Florida weave used on marigolds! I hadn't thought past tomatoes with that and it's a great reminder that garden ideas are better as general concepts and learning opportunities instead of treating them like recipes.

@carolavant3778 Год назад

Yes, sir! My Aunt taught me that when I was a little girl. She always salted the cucumber slices, especially when making bread and butter pickles. Salt 'em, cover 'em with ice, and rinse the daylight out of them in the morning before making the pickles.

Thanks for doing this video Travis. That flow regulator and filter is the only thing left that I wasn't sure about. I've purchased everything else for my new drip system. Next year, I won't be having an aching back from dragging hoses!

@charlottewhitecrow4491 Год назад

Hi Travis, You can add a grape leaf and that will help keep your dill pickles crisp too. My grandma always added one or two grape leaves to a jar. The muscadine jelly looks amazing!!! We are getting ready to move to SE Texas, near Toledo Blend Lake. I hope I can grow something down there. I've always had this rich soil in NE Oklahoma, black gold, I've been able to grow just about anything that can take the weather here. Thank you for all that you do and all the information you give, you and your family are such a blessing!!!! May the Lord prosper and keep you and your family.... P.S. In 2017 I was in a massive auto accident and spent most of my time in bed recovering for 3 years and several surgeries. Watching your Row by Row show inspired me to try to get out and get in the garden again, with much prayer I did. I have always had a garden until the accident. My husband would have to help me out to the garden, carrying what I would need. As I slowly started back in the garden and by the time the frost came, I regained most of my strength and had to get to canning again. With much prayer and digging in the dirt and watching it grow, I have recovered 80% of my health back. Keep doing what you're doing and be encouraged. It's great to see you have your own channel. God Bless!!!

@diannemiller4754 Год назад

@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin Год назад

Travis, I enjoyed this video a lot. My wife likes cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion salads. I slice my cucumbers and onions into half medallions and cover them with kosher salt for about 30 minutes. It draws out a lot of liquid. I then rinse the salt off and make the salad. Helps to keep the vegetables crunchy too.

@davidward1259 Год назад

Travis, I'm on my 3rd year with the hose thread end parts from Drip Depot in my drip system. No issues at all. Those filters for the NPT units should also fit the hose thread units if you need to replace one for some reason. I've got a few of the "figure 8" ends, but they are for emergencies. Like you, I like their end units with hose thread caps much better. They also have a unit that replaces the end cap that will drain your lines when the pressure is released. Another thing I have found with my drip and hose fittings is the stock "rubber" o-rings (for lack of a better description) tend to get hard and leak. I swap mine out for silicone o-ring/washers and they are much more long lived without leaks.

@archstanton9703 Год назад

That’s good to know. I bought a drip kit from Drip Depot and plan to install it next spring. Thanks!

@@archstanton9703 Most of ours is their 1/4" dripline with 6" emitters in the raised garden beds, or individual emitters on 1/4" solid line to the larger plants and shrubs around the deck. Easy to design, and modify if needed. I do use the same 1/2" mainline like Travis. They usually offer a 20% discount sitewide before the spring season so sign up for their email alerts.

I've never used a pressure regulator. By the time I have everything set up it's not overly powerful.

@johac7637 11 месяцев назад

Ive change over a bit of my original drip lines, the first line is now under about 8" of compostin manure, chips etc, intertwined with roots, so i laid a line on top and covered with chips, it waters the good stuff down. I set up a dual system so i can overhead water too, im so impressed with the Toro pro line of emitters, varing flow rates, and coverage. Looking at your background you have rains, we don't have any green, short of irrigation.

@leahness3588 Год назад

Yes salting regular slicing cucumbers is a good trick, because there is more water in them than pickling cucumbers which are drier and made for pickling. 👍👍

@tommathews3964 Год назад

I've always been a fan of the sweet/heat thing, and how those flavors marry. I've cut hot sauce with lemon juice, white grape juice, and pineapple juice and really liked all of them. I used a little simple syrup with the lemon juice. I want to try a lime thing one of these days. Balsamic vinegar was interesting and so was honey. Think that's all I've tried. Pineapple is probably my favorite. Looking forward to this raised bed experiment!

@tannenbaumgirl3100 Год назад

The pickling process you mention is shown in the Ball Canning Book...standard procedure. Another thing you can do is add a little bit of Pickle Crisp into each jar, based on size.

I credit your videos for getting me into the drip tape system. Total game changer. Another addition you might look at, I think I got this from Berry Hill Irrigation, are drip line terminating ends that are much like the one you showed for the main line. Far less dripping and leaks than those fold-over sleeves. Thanks!

@LazyDogFarm Год назад

I thought about giving those a try. They do look like they would solve any leaking issues on the ends of the tape.

@stephensarkany3577 11 месяцев назад

I had tried the berryhill end of line fittings with great results. I was ordering some stuff from Hoss and tried the fold over ends, they are total garbage and would leak no matter how I folded them. Also the berry hill ones can be installed while the water is flowing, and that can be a huge help when you don't have someone to work the water valve.

For a laid-back video, you managed to hit a goodly number of my pet interests. We're putting up applesauce this week. Not only delicious as is, but also makes a great base sweetness for some WhoooDoggies BBQ sauce. 'Cue you could eat with one foot in the fire. For several years I've been watering eight drip zones with a portable drip head assembly. Filter, 15 psi regulator, Orbit 62034 mechanical timer, Drip Depot MHT and FHT fittings on either end. I know you have bad experience with quick connect fittings but the HQMPC brand from Amazon has proven durable for me. Forget the box store junk. And always use teflon pipe tape to seal your connections.

Hey Travis, so glad I watched this video. I was in the process of changing out my old drip system, and sure do like the looks of these components. Thanks.

@outlawjjsmith Год назад

@Mstymntntop Год назад

Another way to keep your pickles crisp is to use a water bath that is a little cooler. The high heat, boiling method, cooks the cucumbers a lot. Try a lower heat method at a lower temperature, but a longer time. It is basically low heat pasteurization and there are charts to show the temp/time. The 10 minute water bath/boil can be made to a 180° bath for 30 minutes and reduce bacteria to the same level. Veggies stay crisper the less they are cooked. We do this for eggs as well since we make our own Mayo. Cook the egg at 134° for two hours and it is considered pasteurized. We can then use the egg for Mayo or Caesar dressing without worrying about illness. To keep the temperature stable, a sous vide machine is worth the money (let alone the cooking benefits of things like steak). We use the Joule and have enjoyed it for the past 4-5 years.

@charitysmith5245 Год назад

100% agree on the low temp method for pickles...changed my pickle game big time! And I got the sous vide which made it even better! It can be done in a water bath canner but it's a bit harder to maintain temp but can be done. Everyone goes nuts for my dill pickles!

@jeffmartin693 Год назад

I, like you have many plots to water and use drip too, I use quick connects to move the hose from plot to plot it save a little time each day that adds up to s lot over the full season......

@olddaddie5645 Год назад

I will anxiously awaiting your drip install video! I went on Drip Depot this past spring and got 90% of my system designed. But when I got to choosing the fittings I got too confused about which fitting to choose, I basically gave up. I appreciate you giving the links to the right part!

@michaelturner2691 Год назад

I will definitely be watching your new rip system setup. I haven't had no issues of leaking on mine and the only thing I added was a quick disconnect for my garden hose to hook up to it. only issues I have had are at the end of the drip tape leaking. seems like I can never get it wrapped to prevent that. I know that these plastic pieces will eventually wear out and it would be nice to be able to buy a new setup when I need it.

@LazyDogFarm Год назад

Drip Depot has row ends that look like those I'm using now for the mainline. Supposedly they don't leak at all.

@michaelmorris1802 Год назад

I switched to that stuff some time back... I have found that particular brand of fittings to be superior... they cost a little bit more, just a little... but they just work, and they are easily reusable. They go on the main line tubing so much easier, and I truly like them. I use them for all my irrigation, not just in my garden, but in my orchards as well. Once I learned about Drip Depot (from you)... I have been like a kid in a candy store... I have upgraded a good bit of my irrigation in general with stuff on their site... bring your patience... it's not the easiest web site in the world to navigate... but they have good stuff!

@florabamabear2058 Год назад

A scoville heat unit is a measure of how much sugar it takes to cancel the heat. So if that’s your goal, brown sugar, honey, anything sweet really, fruit juice. For just flavor cutting, I’d add some pickle juice, butter for Buffalo wing sauce, maybe make a Chipolte Mayo, a fancy hot honey and herb butter for putting on fish filets for the oven or grill.

@billyjack6084 2 месяца назад

@littleblackdogs Год назад

Omg, those ducks crack me up . 🤣

@suzanneberens519 Год назад

Try cutting the hot sauce with a little Bourbon. Once you boil it before the hot water bath, the alcohol will evaporate off but you still get the sweet flavor to help cut the heat. Another idea is lime juice, especially Key Lime.

@jimt6151 Год назад

When you re-do that drip irrigation system, you should invest a little time in burying service lines to your plots. Then, you can eliminate moving hoses, and you can utilize auto-timers for your drip zones. The time you invest will pay you back several times over.

@ericcartwright1390 Год назад

I was going to suggest that also.

@daleharris6213 Год назад

Travis, I've had good success cutting the heat in my hot sauce by adding carrot juice. Because of it's mild and sort of neutral flavor, carrot juice allows the flavor of the peppers to remain dominant in the hot sauce.

You can also use white grape juice just like jelly.

Travis, I have a recipe for hot sauce which calls for ground up figs, otherwise it looks just like your average hot sauce recipe. The person who gave me this recipe just said "pulverized figs to taste". I just threw the figs in the food processor. So I guess just experiment, but it does add a depth to the flavor and kind of evens out the heat if you get my drift.

@LazyDogFarm Год назад

Hmm. I do still have some figs ...

@bowhuntrrl Год назад

You can cut that hot sauce with pineapple or Mango juice, whatever's your choice for a flavor profile. Just watch the acidity. I use a ph meter and keep mine about 3.8-3.9. I also pasteurize at 180 for 5 minutes or so. My sauce has been shelf stable for 3 years now! Also, we salt the cucumbers for pickles and cover them with ice cubes, it sucks the water out but also tempers the saltiness. We do that for an hour before pickling begins. Makes them extra crispy!

@xaviercruz4763 Год назад

Since individual taste varies so much, experiment with a lot of hot sauce additives in varying quantities. Pick up small bottles of fruit juices like mango, pineapple, your own mulberries, honey, white vinegar, ACV, etc. and see what you like best. Another good option is cutting it with commercial hot sauces that you already like, but they are a bit mild. As always, good labeling is needed or you'll be doing the same experiments next year.

@gardeningsimplified Год назад

When I want to cut the heat in my hot sauce recipe I use carrots. The sweetness of the carrots cut the heat, and will thicken up the sauce. My Hab A Nice Day habanero hot sauce used this method, and was my best seller at the farmers market.

Travis, no advice on making the hot sauce less hot. Only advice on how to make it hotter. 😉

@stevefromthegarden1135 Год назад

I thought you were going to use hedge clippers to cut the marigolds. 😀 I have used the salt method on cabbage for making kimchi but not on pickles. I was hoping to make some Sante Fe Grande hot sauce this year but the plants didn't produce enough. I don't think they got quite enough sun. I will try again next year in a different location.

@LazyDogFarm Год назад

I could have used the hedge clippers, but I wanted to get all the clippings out so I could clean up beside the row too.

I have noticed that all the wye valve fittings sold have a very narrow lip that contacts the hose gaskets, consequently the darn things leak very easily and will push the gasket out of position.

I once made a Hot / BBQ sauce with Tamarind, and screened roasted tomatillo puree. I am more of a pepperflakes in the pepper mill person. As long as it stores safely and you like it any recipe goes. How about pepper grape jelly? I also did Jalapeño Mint jelly I liked.

@LazyDogFarm Год назад

Pepper grape jelly would be good too!

Bummer..i was.hoping to.see how u handled the raised bed tape thing..i got 10 of them now.. Back when i had four i made the pvc for three of em...but i ended up using half of it for a wedding..so i drug out the parts and spent 2 half days piecing enough for one bed..and i JUST TURNED IT ON...and remembered why i hated so so much. But it will do with a lot more fiddling

Hey Travis , I have a question about installing drip tape and planting . I have a Covington one row seeder . Can I lay the tape on the flat , then use a holler to build 3 to 4 inch beds so that my seeder won't dig the tape up with the firepower ? Or would that make the tape too deep . Or should I just plant my tape off to one side .

@LazyDogFarm Год назад

The tape can be buried up to 6" deep. I'd do a test run though to make sure it works before making a mess of the whole garden if it doesn't.

I have done thé salt trick for making pickles for a few years. It works but no matter how much i rinsed the cukes were still salty. So i cut back on the amount of salt in the brine. That worked great. Rest of the family can eat them but i cant now i am on dialysis. So i have gone back to pickle crisp for the ones i make for me with less salt in those also.

@LazyDogFarm Год назад

Maybe that's what caused ours to be salty. Thanks for sharing.

@susanmaguire1503 Год назад

Re crispy pickles, some people, maybe some people used to, put clean oak leaves in their pickles, the theory being the tannin stops softening. I do not know if it's true.

@leahness3588 Год назад

And grape leaves👍👍

@primeribviking3688 Год назад

Ya people would do that with cherry leaves too. I got a Ukrainian cookbook that calls for ot while making pickles

@susanmaguire1503 Год назад

@@primeribviking3688 It must be from Eastern Europe then. Growing up my mother had a friend from Russia and a friend from Poland and they put oak leaves in various pickles.

IDK why you'd make dozens of raised beds when you can just make one large one. I think of it like installing drain-tile where eventually the rows(raised beds) are narrow enough where there is no additional drainage benefit. What I've noticed about my 12x12x2ft raised bed is that it's not much different than growing on a 10inch tall well-mounded row. I think having deep raised beds allows for the soil to also sometimes dry out so much that the soil might become hydrophobic, where it'd be a better idea to pond-liner it into a wicking bed for a deep-soak when necessary. I've even though to have one to drain where the wicking-bed-tea can be used on other things, plus the ph of the runoff can be accurately tested.

@LazyDogFarm Год назад

I'd like to be able to keep things separated for purposes of trials. One variety of carrots in one bed, another variety in the next. It helps to show the differences in varieties or crops when filming.

@dennisdrew6342 Год назад

Hi Travis - quick question, you list the mainline at 5/8" but the options from Dripdepot is 1/2", 3/4" and 1". So then I thought that when you referred to 5/8" that maybe you were referring to the inside diameter of the 3/4", but that does not add up either. What am I missing???

@LazyDogFarm Год назад

5/8" and 1/2" are the same thing. 5/8" outer diameter, 1/2" inner diameter.

@vondawalker2140 Год назад

Have not tried the salt trick. How much salt do you use? Have had same trouble with pickles. Love crunchy pickles. Thanks for the tip 😊

@LazyDogFarm Год назад

Seems like we used about half a cup of pickling salt for a big bowl of sliced cukes.

@blainecelestaine4543 Год назад

Have you noticed a reduction In pest pressure near your marigolds. If so do you think drying your clippings to make a tea to spray would be of any benefit

@LazyDogFarm Год назад

I have in past years, but not necessarily this year. My sweet potatoes near the marigolds have been hit pretty hard this year.

@ranbec3237 Год назад

The size choices from your blog for drip irrigation mainline is 1/2" or 3/4". Which do you use?

@LazyDogFarm Год назад

1/2” since none of my rows are longer than 100’ long.

@cjr4497 Год назад

I want to buy an EZ flow injector this year. How do I know what size? I know there is a 3/4, 1, and 2.5 gallon. My garden consists of three 4 x 16 raised beds and two 20' in ground high rows.

@LazyDogFarm Год назад

I use the 1 gallon version that has the thicker tank design.

@billyharrell202 Год назад

Do 14 or 12 raised beds. Not the number 13, just saying. Lol. Love the videos.

We only do refrigerator pickles. I have a small fridge in the garage that is half full of pickles. Add a few hot peppers to your pickles very good, and it really won't make the pickles spicy. Sent you $25 on PayPal. Keep up the good work.
