How I Setup a Drip Irrigation System in my Greenhouse | System Component Walkthrough
Are you looking to keep your greenhouse plants healthy and thriving with minimal effort? In this video, I’ll show you how I set up a drip irrigation system in my greenhouse on a rolling bench system.
Why Choose Drip Irrigation? Drip irrigation is an efficient way to water your plants, delivering water directly to the root zone where it’s needed most. This saves water, reduces weeds, and promotes healthier plant growth.
What You’ll Learn:
-The components I chose for my greenhouse drip irrigation system
-How I designed the system to work with rolling benchtops
-Filtration system choices
-Use of the pond as a water source

Haha, I enjoyed this video, Peter. That was funny! 😄
In its first year it is dropping the fruit, it is normal
It’s not uncommon to drop fruit the first year
Welcome I live close near New Castle … I’ve been watching ur videos 👍
Dig your new set up near Sacramento. I'm in Trinity 3.5 hours north with 40 varieties I greenhouse. And other rare fruits. Loquat, lila avo, 5 kinds of poms. Pineapple guava, muscadine and concord grapes and various hardy kiwis.
Wow, you grow an awesome beard, Pete!
Now that is a beautiful fig!
does it need to be caprified?
No
Wow, beautiful inside and out! Kind of reminds me of the Bebera Branca
That is a beauty! Btw, what is that (more productive) fig tree sitting next to that Joualle Noire?
It might have been Hollier-not sure, it was a while ago
Omg Pete, you must own every fig in the world! 😄
I just purchased it after watching this video. Thanks Peter!
1 of less than a handful of videos on this variety up on the web. Did you keep growing it up until your move to CA? did it get better after the 1st year? I ask because the videos up on it seems to be from 1st year trees and say the same thing, surprisingly not a berry fig not very sweet but a sugar fig with mild berry tones. Any insight would be appreciated
I think I only had one year with it in VA. I’ll grow it again in CA but I’m still working on getting everything setup here.
I like your honest opinion and that’s why I watch your channel.
Wow, beautiful pulp! Peter, in my opinion, you’re the top gun fig reviewer!
Tina in Arabic means fig.
It does look like an eggplant!
Good luck Maybe dragon fruit
It’s an interesting idea. I might try experimenting with it but I don’t think it’s ideal here
Wow Peter, those closeup shots are incredible! Very good video as always!
Wow, I didn’t know the wet weather would affect the flavor that much. Thanks Peter! - Gerald
Is she bifera ?
Beautiful fig!
Hope I can find it
Mi portero favorito es Higuita
Wow, what a perfect looking fig! Also, your videography continues to impress me! It’s always so sharp!
Awesome Bordissot Negra Ramada review!
Omg, I had no idea you had so many fig tree!!
Another excellent video, Pete! Now I need to get my hands on a Smith tree. Beautiful red pulp!
Too bad ‘The One’ fig is so small, but excellent review with great camera work and editing. 👍
I’m a beginner at this fig hobby and have checked out many of your reviews. If anything, how about giving the specific fig a 1 to 10 taste rating and show how prolific the tree is? That would give us viewers even more of a detailed description than you always do. Great job and awesome photography!
Awww man, bummer! I was expecting the Manzanita to be incredible! Oh well. Btw Pete, I really like the music you pick for you videos!
Aside from the giant split, that’s a beautiful fig!
Great looking fig. I can pretty much assure you that's not Cessac though. Glad you like it.
Does piombinese grow well in humid conditions and is it split resistant?
It seemed to do ok for me but I moved and didn’t get a lot of experience with it
Are you going to have cuts or plants available for next season? Thank you.
Probably not. My collection is still too small and immature
Wow that looks great, love the pond. When people say livin the dream...you got the dream! lol
Dang that's an awesome setup. Thanks for sharing Pete.
Impressive Pete, enjoyed the tour.
Wow, congratulations on your move to N CA and your setup and new construction. It’s very impressive what you are doing! I used to live in Granite Bay near New Castle but now living in SF Peninsula. If you need fig cuttings, I would be happy to help you out. Best of luck!
Thanks!
cool irrigation system man 👍👍👍
Lovely kids ❤❤
You need some cuttings? How are planning to restore your collection?
I’ve been getting cutting during the winter. I’ll get some more this coming winter
is a late fig?
Starts ripening mid season through late season
"Right here in the back".. WOOMMP!💨
we miss you sometimes i wished you never moved and continued on what you were doing with figs
Thanks but I’m just taking the next step
Hey pete i was wondering if you can tell me the kind of fig on your first picture in the intro it looks like a fig i just ripened but i dont know the variety?
I think it was a small Faja de Ovelha, but it’s been a while.
Looks beautiful!
How long are you going to keep having water flow in?
It flows through. I can’t stop it
Which variety is that super-productive looking one behind you during the later portion of the video?
Hmm, I can’t remember. It was a filmed a few years ago.
Each cutting weighs different though...
Wow that's a lot of work, nicely done! Are you going to try tracking down a Duke Avocado? I wonder if it's really more winter resistant.
Yeah I’ll start by growing some trees on duke avocado seedling rootstock but I’d really like to use some of the newer rootstocks eventually-probably Dusa.
