We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.

It works good putting the drip tape on top of the ground cover weed barrier, instead of under the cover?

@riotarbo1762 4 года назад

Drip tubing, emitters, quick connects, faucet timer--all are life savers! I don't think I'd ever garden without them. Having the watering chores taken out of gardening makes more time for family!

@Zip22Zip 6 лет назад

I was folding my drip tape and pushing it in the end cap. Not often but every now and then the end caps might slip off. I found that if you fold the tape once, push it through the cap enough that it came out the other side. I would then thread a staple through that loop then pull the loop and tape back toward the cap and this made a tight seal plus the staple keeps the cap from sliding off the tape.

@notsure7874 3 года назад

Thank GOD y'all made this video! You guys always explain things in just the right amount of detail. Most of the other videos are all marketing hype, not solid "how do do this" videos. I got stuck on your channel for days when I ran across y'all - came to learn one thing, then 3 hours later ... then repeated the same thing every couple of days for a couple of weeks.

@50shadesofgreen 6 лет назад

Good day to you Kevin & Stacy !! 👍👍😁😁 Thanks for sharing your homesteading stories and adventures with us all today 😁😁👍👍

@brianb.6282 3 года назад

I would cover the drip tape. I have hot summers with high pH, mineral water and the heat evaporates the water and leaves the minerals that clog my drip holes. I am using the 1/4 inch drip hose from Home Depot so not quite the same as the product you are using. I have to replace the drip lines every year as the work less and less every year. I do water at night and still have issues. I have covered the lines with chip mulch this year and the whole garden is working lot better.

@lisabooker6405 6 лет назад

Thanks so much for showing this. I thought it was sooo much harder and it’s really not! You have no idea what this means to me. I’ve been worried about how much longer I’d be able to water my garden. I use a watering can...yessss old school style! Takes FOREVER annnd I’m disabled. Those two gallons are heavy and the back and forth KILLS ME! This is worth it to me even on my small scale. Gardening is truly my therapy. It gives me a reason to get up and DO something!! I simply can’t thank you enough for this demo! God Bless you! ~Lisa

@juliekooiker3408 6 лет назад

Lisa Booker I hope your gardening season is getting off to a good start! I feel for you! Good for you that you garden for therapy!

@erinslack5405 5 лет назад

If you would like a cheap or free option. I just used an old hose and drilled little holes in it. My only advice would be to make sure you drill all the holes on the same side of the hose...I didn't and in one area the water either squirts up or doesn't come out. Live and learn :-)

@fivetopsfarm8061 6 лет назад

I love that it's low pressure, because eventually I want to run the garden irrigation of IBC totes. Thanks for sharing.

@katiegrazier4091 6 лет назад

FiveTopsFarm that is what we are looking at too. Our new homestead doesn’t have utilities yet but we have put in our orchard to get established while we develop it.

@mikew7727 5 лет назад

FiveTopsFarm we want to use totes to collect runoff and spring water also

@michaelbriggs9246 4 года назад

Same here, IBC totes.. just ordered the complete drip system he used in this video.

@Wendy-xe4gk 4 года назад

I'm sooo tired of pulling weeds and trying to water. I'm going to try this with the weed barrier this year and I'm so excited to actually pay attention to my plants instead of the weeds and the hoses. I learn so much from your projects and your vedios. Thanks for sharing.

@mikew7727 5 лет назад

We are going to switch over to drip tape irrigation, this is the best and simplest instruction video I have found. Thanks for posting this.

@brentrussell780 Год назад

If you have any old welding rods that have gone bad, smash the remaining flux off.. they make great staples for holding down stuff

@user-ry7fb3hv2d 9 месяцев назад

Thank you. I also agree with the tape being above the weed barrier

@beverlystufflebeam5731 4 года назад

Watching this is so helpful. Because it took the fear of my being able to do it. I’m so sure I can! Thank you!

@debralunnen3378 5 лет назад

I’ve watched a KaZillion of drip line videos !!! This is THE BEST ONE YET !!!!! Thank You !!! Debra In California! My Husband grew up in Overland Park and his Brother lives in Liberty! Great Place !

@FensterfarmGreenhouse 6 лет назад

I have not done it on top so I assume that you are going to get some run off by doing it that way. The 3 ounce fabric is permeable but when I wash down my greenhouse floor it doesn't always just immediately go through it. By going below the fabric the mulch will keep evaporation to a minimum as well! You can skip buying end caps to save money too. Just cut off the last emitter from the tape and use the 2 inch piece of drip tape that has the emitter on it the same way that you do that end cap! Just my thoughts. Chuck

@JaureguiJ 6 лет назад

We use a loop system for our lines meaning, on both sides we run a main line. If something gets clogged in the middle of the system water can still come out because it will come from the other side. Keep growing. can't wait to see some great vegetables.

@jrace2718 6 лет назад

Way easier than using that tool to make a hole in the line is a cordless drill with a 1/8 drill bit. Especially if you are doing a lot of them. Love your videos!

@juliekooiker3408 6 лет назад

I just purchased my first jr gardeners irrigation kit after watching and thanks for the info and demonstration and coupon!

@derekclawson4236 2 года назад

Thanks for the tutorial. I spend way too much time watering my massive gardens and potted plant collection. Since I already have a million feet of the tubing given to me by friends I will be just using tubing but I figure the principle is similar. Should have done this years ago. Finally thinking about getting it done. So much to do on my homestead seems like it's hard to decide whats most prudent daily. Great video!

@Watercolorimp 2 года назад

Great video, thanks for covering all the steps/connections.

@LeeCraftyHomestead 5 лет назад

holy cow that looks so much easier. hmmm! ok I'm rethinking the garden now. thanks for sharing and have a great day.

@BrodyMcCain 3 года назад

I heard you mention drip tape in another video so I searched youtube for it and you were the first video I seen and recognized you from the other video. I had no idea what drip tape was. Thank you.

@travistrammell3424 Год назад

Great video. Thanks for info.

@STxFisherman 9 месяцев назад

Great educational video. I will be prepping a garden plot soon and want to use drip tape so the topics that you covered answered all of my questions. Thanks for sharing.

@jesushernandez3935 2 года назад

Thanks for this video is very helpful I'm going to try it God bless you with abundance in your garden

@Dennis_Heaton 3 года назад

Finally set mine up yesterday in my raised beds! Now I just need to play with the timer to see how long and often I need to water!

@ricks2907 Год назад

Thanks Kevin God bless your family. Cheers buddy Ricky 🇺🇸👩🏻‍🦼💥💦🙏🐈‍⬛

@VaveeDances 6 лет назад

So glad I found your channel a couple of days ago. I have already watched about a dozen of your videos. So informative, practical and helpful! Kudos to you both and many thanks from a new subscriber.

@joeworden825 5 лет назад

That's all we ever used in Golden Valley, Arizona. Nice stuff. The hardest part was putting the staple in the ground. The ground down there is like cement(Caliche).

@doylezechman2899 6 лет назад

Love the info you provide. I tried an irrigation system layout like yours the first year. Second year ran main header thru the middle rather than top/bottom of garden and branched off left and right. Fixed my issues of some areas not getting water due to my Ibc (have 6, stacked horizontally in 3 columns x 2 high) low pressure. Third year added a battery operated on/off switch I had bought in the 90's and now set it to water 1/2 hour after sunrise. This year I am doing meat birds and meat rabbits thanks to info from your channel and off grid with Doug and Stacy. Thanks in advance.

@brushmountainhomestead2918 6 лет назад

Love how informative your vlogs are. I feel like I could go right out and install this in our garden. Thanks so much!

@PfeilerFamilyFarm 6 лет назад

I was able to pick up four IBC containers yesterday up in oak grove for $50 apiece. I was very happy for that. I got two of them hooked up in preparation for last nights storm and I was able to fill up one container so far. We’re supposed to get more thunderstorms tonight so I need to hook up the other two containers. I plan on using a pump and then dropping it in the IBC tanks to pump out and water the garden using drip tape. Great explanation of the drip tape set up!

@LivingTraditionsHomestead 6 лет назад

Awesome! We hope to start catching water this year...after we get some other projects out of the way. Lol! There's always something to do!

@PfeilerFamilyFarm 6 лет назад

exactly and last nights tornado warning kind of threw a wrench in my gears so now I’m jumping around trying to get the garden planted and update our emergency preparedness all at the same time.

@gradyrigby2851 5 лет назад

Hoss tools puts out drip tape and actually has a drip tape layer for there wheel hoe. It is really a great company to work with. Excellent customer service, craftsmanship, and their made right here in the US.

Thank you! We had the worst drought last summer. Only a handful of rain days. This looks easy to install. Our water far from the garden and it's been tricky to get it all watered in the spots where the plants are.

@ryanjohnson282 6 лет назад

Been watching for a few months now, you guys are awesome, I’m trying my hand at doing a market garden, very new to trying to sell my own veggies and finding time to do it for is hard to do with my job, but luckily I have my dad to help me out lol, great video on the drip tape and differences I think I’m going to have to get me some drip tape seems way easier than the lines that I have with the tips you have to put in them

@alphonse888 2 года назад

Thanks for the information we are in Mo as well and this is our 3rd year with garden cloth we are expanding but sprinklers are a joke when you get larger. If you ever need honey bees for pollination let me know. Bee Happy Beekeeping

@AlmostHomestead 6 лет назад

Nicely done. A lot of good info. Glad you guys found your forever place.

@judithbrown7319 6 лет назад

Thanks! My system works but not as easy to do! LOL Central Arkansas, it is dry starting in July and can go to Oct, so really good to install a system at the beginning of season! I have had trouble putting the parts on mine, but didnt know if they back turn to hold in place so I will check!!!! I have drip lines on my berry lines too! I have a 4 faucet post, and connect the hose to it. Each faucet waters a different garden, so I dont have to move hoses, just turn and close faucets at central location!

@CBsGreenhouseandGarden 6 лет назад

Great job done Kevin. Love the watering system! Thanks for showing us how you done yours. Have a great day buddy! :-)

@greenridgegardens8269 2 года назад

@bsofar1675 6 лет назад

That was useful information. Hand watering is getting pretty time consuming during long dry spells, so this could really be helpful.

@Keiths1234 6 лет назад

Thank you for sharing it first time I've looked into something like that it just gives me another tool for my Arsenal in my garden may God bless you and your garden and let it be fruitful this year

@DeerParkFarmstead 6 лет назад

If I could make a suggestion and that is to not walk on the beds. You’re compacting the dirt thus making your drainage in the soil more difficult. Nice irrigation system. I use overhead but will need a system like this in my tunnel.

@catherineholcomb4488 5 лет назад

thank you for such a complete step by step video!

@kishaunaarmstrong3367 3 года назад

@melisacanada994 3 года назад

I need to do 4 raised beds and a 6x12 asparagus, strawberry bed and a 16x16 ground garden. It is kinda intimidating to me.

@bobz1736 Год назад

Great video thanks. A couple of questions - Do you need a filter to stop the risk of any dirt on the water blocking the emitter holes? How do you drop the water pressure?

@sugarpumpkinfarms4933 6 лет назад

Would love the drip tape but I'm in Jamaica

@Slightlyrednecked 6 лет назад

Looks good but I sure hope it works all summer. With the hard water we have here I would be very concerned with it clogging up. That is the problem with regular drip irrigation and soaker hoses anyway. I sure hope I am wrong about that though.

@LivingTraditionsHomestead 6 лет назад

HOPEFULLY we won't have to use it too often. We had hard water in AZ also but the drip tape didn't seem to clog up. We did have issues with regular drip tubing though. I didn't realize you were in MO also until just now. I enjoy your channel. - Kevin

@Slightlyrednecked 6 лет назад

Good to know, I may have to give it a try. Thanks for the kind comments. I found out about your channel from one of my viewers and was surprised to see we lived so close together. We may have to work out a meet up or something some time and do a collaboration video.

@LivingTraditionsHomestead 5 лет назад

We have used drip tape for about 7 years now and love it! The way we showed it on this video is the way we always set it up. Won't have a garden without it.

@deborahtofflemire7727 5 лет назад

Thank this is helpful

@valerietruett1930 6 лет назад

I wonder if you ran the hose thru the middle of the garden, instead of the edge, would the water pressure be more evenly distributed. You would have to have the connectors on both sides of the water hose though not directly opposite each other.
