You are holding the tape backwards. Right index finger thru the hole with loose end pointed away from you. Threaded pipe in left hand. Roll the tape on clockwise. This way you're able to tighten the tape easily. Leftys would do it opposite. Tape on left index with tape end towards the body. Try it. It's much easier.
What’s different from the one you made last year? The one I made had trouble sucking the fertilizer well. I have a lot of hose water pressure pressure. Did I need better pressure reducers?
You cant' have any back pressure. Try hooking a hose to it so it can run wide open, full flow and see if it draws better. That is the only way mine works. I guess i don't have enough drip lines attached to it to allow enough flow.
I wonder if we put a pressure regulator before it and a valve that had graduations, if a simple chart would tell us how much venturi it would pull compared to water flowing through so we could accurately calculate our fertigation on a budget.
Yo Dre those Venturi are kinda crappy. Also a screen filter could help keep your irrigation lines clean of debris so it don’t clog. I dunno man I use a 2 part with 2 piston driven injectors. Calcium nitrate 1 bucket. Masterblend and mag sulfate in other bucket. $130 or so on Amazon.
I can’t not get this to work. If I remove the spring it flows back into the jug. If I put the spring it it sucks it up to the point of the Venturi then locks up there. These things do not work for me.
Could you just put the injector in line so that the flow passes it all the time, instead of using a ball valve and diverting the flow past the injector? I’d think you’d just need to plug the injector or injector tube when not fertilizing.

💪🏼 Good video 🇺🇸
Farmer Dre. It has been 2 years , that you planted 1200 Blue berry plants. Could we get an update? Thanks in advance.
Two part what?

It takes a pretty large area of drip tape to create enough flow.

Do you sell something for blossom rot on tomatoes?
Espon salt helps to prevent blossom end root. It is a calcium deficient plant.
@@mrc3458 thanks

Made one today ,guess 60 ,1gph emitters won't allow it to work, all it does is shoot water back into the bucket...
