Okay you HAVE to call Paul’s drip gator the IRRIGATOR !!! 🐊💧🐊💧🐊
Hahah that's awesome 😎
Good one 😂
😂😂 👍🏼
Genius!!😂
YES, hahahaha I love this so much.
Douglas is like, "Hey lady, stop talking. I need petting." Love the drip tape idea.
After a difficult day of putting out sweet kitty of 16 years to rest, exhausted emotionally, we sat down to watch this video. Douglas and you gave us such a moment of laughter with his antics. It was just what we needed. Thank you for being such a blessing above all your wonderful tips and gardening inspiration. Please give Douglas an extra scritch from us.
So very sorry on the loss of you beloved kitty.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I DEEPLY understand how this feels.
Douglas cracks me up 😂😂😂
He totally just wants you. His purr was so loud that I could hear him 😂❤😂
Douglas is trying to get your attention and get some love. 😂
So happy to see you wearing a hat while doing this. The sun can do a lot of damage to your skin.
@@hillaryroberts3623yes you can get melanoma on your eyes!
Was cracking me up hahha. My pugs the same whenever I squat down he insists on attention.
Ditto re the hat.
Do you really think Laura needs telling! She is a grown woman with children and her own business
Do you seriously think God and His creation isn't perfect? The Sun gives life not cancer. Nutrient deficiencies cause health problems as well as chemicals put on and in the body such has been proven that sunblock literally causes skin cancer.
I had to bring a family member (former police officer) to testify in a murder trial this morning and as I sit here waiting I am thankful for this channel and the pure joy it brings to all the heaviness of life.
Hi Laura! All of my friends and family are so impressed with my drip irrigation I installed , and I give you all the credit for teaching me how to do it. If I didn’t watch your channel, I would not have known it was even possible. Thank you!!!!😊
Great to follow you on some ‘less glamorous’ projects and see how to maintain the infrastructure. I’m struggling with the drip lines as well, but the specialist store told me that the drip tapes need to be run a lot longer, because their output is much lower. What’s your experience? Also: can you pls show us how you set up the irrigation lines for the trees, perennials and large flower beds? THX!
Everyone needs a Paul in their life! Love his organized nature! Stay cool folks much love from the western Carolina mountains!
Awww...Dougie is such a honey bunny!!🥰🥰🥰
A blessed evening everyone....
Good on you wearing a hat. Im 60 never wore hats before 55. Now, I feel 'naked' without my hat. It's become a part of my outdoor wardrobe.
I have to wear a visor . I get too hot in a hat and ruin it with sweat.
I heard Douglas motor running when he was up close to you … 🐈⬛
I just love starting my day with Laura and Aaron and the kids and let’s not forget the kitties 🐈⬛ ❤❤❤
Great idea!! I think Douglas likes you and the attention!!
Hello Laura, Four years ago I learned about installing drip irrigation watching your videos. What a game changer! I am now 76 living with my daughter and together we continue to enjoy gardening and making our lives easier by installing drip whenever possible. Thank you for your helpful and inspiring videos!
Same here. I love that I can enjoy my garden and don't have to hand water daily. Thank goodness for Laura 😊
Yes, watering is most important to have success in growing any plants. It's a must everyday for me. I pray for a good rain to give me a break.
Amen!
Thanks for such wonderful advise. I very much appreciated all that I have learned from you. I live in a neighborhood that 99.9% of the yards are minimal on landscape. Then there is my yard. It really is out of place. Which is ok by me. It truly is a pollinators & wild life dream garden. They are truly living there best lives. From the beautiful giant swallowtail butterflies to gorgeous bumble bees that you can watch taking a siesta on the bee balm leaves. Over the last several years I see more and more people walking there dogs down our street. They stop to say how beautiful the garden is, and some how it makes the stress of the day just melt away. They don't mind the extra 2 or 3 blocks for a bit of joy. Thanks again for all the wonderful advise. You have helped bring great joy to so many stress out people.
Laura gettin er done. I appreciate you so much, you don’t shy away from hard work. And I love the organization, it’s truly working smart.
Showing us how you lay drip tape is so important, Laura.
And Aaron filming his mowing was so fun to watch.
A great show!
Extremely helpful video! Very happy to see you wearing a hat and gloves too. Boy that was a lot of work! So glad you got that done.
Hey Laura. Beds look amazing. Black drip tape looks really smart. Glad you are wearing your hat. I got skin cancer on my scalp above my forehead. Surgeon asked me if I was a gardener as a profession. No I worked in an office. The sun rays are stronger than they were 20 years ago. Gardeners are prone to skin cancer on the forehead, temples and nose but I am sure you are aware already. Really annoying having surgery inside my hair but luckily the surgeon didn't leave too large a hole. Love to you all. xx
So glad to see you wearing a hat and I hope sun block. I grew up at the beach and never worried about skin cancer. Last year had surgery for cancer on my face and am now treating pre- cancer on the back of my neck. I hate wearing hats and neck coverings but have no choice now. Be safe.
I'm in the same boat. 3 years ago my Dermatologist realized my skin suit 28:56 I was 85/90% covered in precancerous spots.
I do Fluorouracil every winter in my entire suit.
Protect your skin!
I’m in my second season of gardening and could not do it without this channel and the drip irrigation I installed. (Proud owner of a GA logo kneeling mat!) I have 4 watering zones around my small home and yard, and this year, one of them even fills my small fountain using a float device to stop flow when it gets full. Especially during the dog days, it’s a godsend to have this system. Next up: a thermacell perimeter system to save me from mosquitos. A birthday gift to myself.
Ugh! The mosquitoes are the worst ever this year from all the excessive rain in WI. Can’t even do garden chores.
Hello Laura, Aaron and GA team
I am always in awe of the way you effectively and efficiently utilise your resources.
This post was so helpful as I needed to see the drip system again. So much more to learn, love it.
Laura, the level of patience you show for little sentient beings saying their version of “Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy” is goals. Everyone wants to be near you. ❤
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️
Aaawwww Douglas is saying; Love me mum 💘💕💗
I love how when cats want your attention they do not give up! Sweet Douglas. 🐈⬛ ❤
I WOULD LOVE TO DO THIS IN ALL MY GARDENS ONE DAY AS WELL!! Thank you for such a detailed video of how to go about doing it all!!! You're awesome garden sister!!!!!!
Good morning!🌻🐝
Im soooooo glad to see you wearing protective gear on your head. This is coming from someone who is having to go to the dermatologist every 3 months to keep skin cancer under control.
Me too
This video was so satisfying to watch. I know you felt so satisfied when you completed the job! Well done Laura!
Watching Aaron cutting the dry glass took me back to my days on our subcompact tractor cutting 8 acres of grass. But I had to dodge rocks 🙁 and poisonous snakes here in Australia. Now I can enjoy watching Aaron instead. It’s quite soothing watching the patterns and the grass disappear. And Laura fantastic job on all the drip irrigation. 👏🏼👏🏼
You know what Ilike about your garden is that your children will now where their cabbage and vegetables come from, some children think it comes from the grocery store. You really inspire me to work in my yard no matter how hot it is here in Texas.
I love that hat! It really suits you! Bless your heart for working so hard to try and help us understand drip irrigation ❤
I love how organized you are in your projects. Making up all the drip lines in an assembly line fashion is so efficient
Laura really do everything! Thank you for showing the system in detail. You are amazing.
Laura, I'm so glad you swapped the irrigation system so you don't have to hand water! Thanks for sharing how easy it is to swap from tubes to tape! Your videos taught me how to setup drip irrigation for my flowerbeds and raisedbeds and that saves me a ton of time! I very much appreciate you for teaching these things on YT❤
Excellent video, thanks Laura, Aaron and Douglas❤
You can also use a 1" section of the drip tape itself to cap the ends. Fold the actual drip tape over on itself 2 or 3 turns, then hold the folds in place by slipping the 1" section over the folded end. Works great. Pretty much free $.
Yeah. The plastic crimpers get weak in the sun. The 1" sections of the tape work great. You might have to bend the folded end to get it to fit in the 1" section, but once it's on, it stays put.
Glad to see you in a wide brimmed hat. I wore a hat but the brim wasn't wide enough and I had cancer removed from the tip of my nose. Being on a boat quite a bit didn't help. I love that you stick to gardening to give us a break from the going ons of the world.❤
Love how organized and systematic you are Laura! I've learned so much from you and Aaron.
I’ve watched you for who knows how many years and I’m enjoying so much watching you grow as a gardener. ❤
Laura & Aron, I love Douglas! His name is so precious too!
I can see the Friesians already! ❤🤗
Good morning from Delaware Garden Answer friends.
I grew up there and some family are still there. Good afternoon from Florida!
Very productive morning even if not your favorite. Now you will not have to hand water. This was very informative too. Great job Aaron, the area looks better, and I love seeing the drone footage. I love your videos and look forward to them each day. Have a blessed day everyone.
I use the crispers that fold, but I’ve seen farmers just tie the end in a knot and it totally works a charm too!! 😊🌻
Laura, I want to thank you for giving me the courage to tackle projects like this. Drip irrigation has been a game changer for me-allows me to leave home and keep my plants happy in the summer. It is not foolproof, but my hostas are happy mid-July and that is certainly due to the consistency of the water!
GA has taught me so much about drip irrigation, I can handle most of the installation and repairs myself now. Really critical for gardening my success. Now I have to get my stuff better organized!! lol. Thanks Laura and GA crew ❤
It was helpful to learn how you pulled those emitters out of the 1/2” tubing. I needed to see this. Pull them with pliers! Boom
Love the demonstration & inspiration to use drip irrigation! I have 2 tips for those who have a hard time installing emitters & connectors into the 1/4 tubing. Wave a grill lighter under the tubing end very briefly before inserting the emitter or connector! It saves time & cramped fingers trying to wiggle them in as well as they adhere better to the hard plastic. The second tip is don't throw away any connectors or emitters but just use a utility knife to split the rubber tubing from hard plastic! Make sure you have a hard surface under the piece when splitting. I generally cut off the emitters or connectors to split later all at once after I've made my updates to the drip irrigation system. I'm curious why you don't use bubblers or sprayers to cover the areas below the lower leaf lines? Love watching you each day!😊
Great job Laura! I need to fix my drip irrigation system with the lines inside the raised beds. Right now I need to use my weed eater weekly to keep the grass out of my beds.
Thank you for sharing and happy gardening! Love from California.
Very informative. Thanks for taking us on your journey and always recognizing, revealing, and correcting your mishaps/mistakes. I've been a fan for a while, and have especially enjoyed in the past few years how you've become to gardening what America's Test Kitchen is to cooking. Your trial and error has saved me a lot of time, energy, and money.
I live in the same zone, but on the other side of the continent, Finger Lakes. While there are so many variables, so many things are the same. Thanks for all the information.
I’m so proud of you wearing a hat Laura ❤🎉👒
Gloves? You're getting better at wearing protective gear! Love your videos!
Awwww, Douglas loves you❤ He's so handsome😊
Impressed how you've found the most efficient way to fix the drip problems. . . Dealing with high temperatures near the Washington coast, but over 100°s would melt me away. Stay cool and hydrated. Thank you for sharing your journey. . .
I'm so happy you showed us step by step how to install the drip tape. So informative!! Things are really moving along there,
and it's all so exciting. Thanks for taking us on the ride with you! Douglas is sure your little buddy! He loves you.
Great tips on adding drip irrigation it’s really going to save you time on hand watering. It’s amazing to see how much more land you’ve acquired after watching the drone footage of Aaron cutting the grass. I know everything’s going to look amazing once all the areas are buttoned up.😊
Wow ! That must feel so good, having all those garden beds tidied up🎉🎉 Nicejob
Thank you for teaching how to put a drip system. I now can try it. I'll watch your video again make sure I don't miss a thing.❤❤❤❤
Morning, glad to see you're trying to wear a hat and gloves when gardening. Your skin will thank you. Have a lovely day.
Inspired by you added drip irrigation this year; the best thing I have ever done and such a time saver as well as water not being waisted. I've learned so much watching your videos; thanks.
I’ve started hand dancing in the kitchen with my beloved to the music that you all play.
This team of video production has smooth satisfying music that I can smile and feel good to. Kudos to you and your team!!
I love learning from you. Everytime you do a new drip video I learn something new.
You can get filters on certain water supply points to filter the hard water 🙏🏼
I never used to wear a hat and gloves but I love my hat. It keeps me feeling cooler. I also wear a sleeve from a company called Farmers Defence to protect my arms from scratches. They also keep me feeling cooler.
The dirt lands cutting at the end was satisfying too
Laura no idea really how your garden turns every year and years to come how beautiful and how inspiring for us your followers
So happy to see you wearing a hat and gloves in your last videos! Your skin will thank you for it when you get to be in your 60’s! And you will be happy that you did. It’s been a hot summer here in FL too! Stay safe out in the heat, don’t over do and drink lots of water! ❤Your videos, thanks for sharing! 🤗❤️
Hard workers you two win the prize👊your property is something to take pride in🤗
Douglas is quite your pal this morning! Good to see Russell. I wonder if he misses Cheddar. You make installation of the drip look so easy. Like maybe I could do it. 😅 It is very relaxing to watch Aaron mow. It is so wonderful to have good equipment. Another helpful video with good ideas. Thank you. We've got a steam bath predicted for the next couple of days here in Virginia. Stay cool and hydrated.
Douglas said “all eyes on me!!!” 😅😂
Great tutorial on how the sausage is made! You and Aaron do so much behind the scenes to bring us videos of beautiful gardens. Thank you!
hahahah I can't stop laughing because of Douglas! He's too cute!!
Great Job Laura!
A hat and gloves! I am with Laura in how annoying they are...but also really good to protect ourselves.
Good job Laura with this project, especially in that heat! That was a tough job but you did it!
Hi Laura I am amaze of your hard work and and so hands on in your garden. Always enjoy watching your video
I really enjoyed the drone footage of the new tree screen out there. It was hard to see the vision one tree at a time, but the overhead view is stunning! Can't wait to see it fill in.
Awww poor Douglas got the boot😽
Good Morning! 💦 Douglas wants to be the star of the show! I need to get used to Laura wearing a hat! 🙂🐈⬛👒🌿
Even though I’ll probably never need to run drip in our gardens since we get plenty of rainfall here in Homer, AK, I enjoyed watching Laura (the pro) do it! You are such a good teacher!
Great demo on drip tape. Thanks Laura 🐈⬛🐈 Really enjoyed the drone footage .
The veggie garden with fresh drip tape ahhhhhh. I bet that feels so good to have that done. And your hands got a work out for sure! I need to redo mine and I have been putting it off but I am going to measure and go get that drip tape for my 3 rectangular veggie beds….thanks for this demo.
"Dear Mommy, There is nothing more important than loving on me." Love Douglas
The stark contrast of irrigated grass to non is crazy!
Good morning, Laura☕️Dang, that was a bigger job than I thought it would be! The Sweet Romance Lavender 💜stunning! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈🐈
I don't know how you did this in that heat!! I'm glad to see the hat! Thank you for the details for the installation of the drip hose.
Another great instructional video..Thank you Laura. Nice drone footage..
Thank you for showing us how you install drip tape. I had my irrigation company run a separate zone to my vegetable garden (which was already on an old turf grass zone and popups are not the most efficient use of watering a garden) and cap the stem. Now, I am looking into running drip tape to my raised beds. Until then, I run the popups early in the morning for 7 minutes, then hand water at dusk since we have a lot of wind and things dry out so fast. I am getting tired of hand-watering since (a) it is hot and (b) I am over 70. Love your videos. Am sharing the one about the beneficial insects to a fellow gardener whose roses have been decimated.
Love seeing you wear a hat :) helps you keep your face looking young and beautiful. Also need to say I am so envious of you receiving the heritage chrysanthemums one of my favorites, which I can't grow in my north facing garden.
It is astounding how much more I can get done in the shade versus the sun. My garden seems haphazardly weeded but in reality it’s just me chasing the shade 😂
Hi Laura, glad to see you wearing a sun hat. Wanted to let you know that they make UPF sun visor hats that will give your skin protection but also may be cooler in the hot sun. If you can’t wear a hat, sunscreen!! You are my favorite utuber and look forward to your videos every week!!
I’m so glad you did this video! I designed the water in my garden based off yours a few years back and have been having the same issues but I thought it was just me. 😅
That was very informative Laura - thank you. Love Douglas! I know you and Aaron are busy but maybe the next time Aaron needs to mow the field he could mow "HI" in the middle and send up the drone for us. Probably a silly idea but it made me laugh thinking about it. Thanks again for the video.
That was so informative AND the field mowing was fun to watch! Thanks for including that, also.
Thanks Laura for all this information. Very valuable info in this heatwave.
We moved into our dream home 5 year's ago and it came with drip. Watching how you maintained the drip you put in helped me learn how to take care of ours. We've never had to replace anything because of hard water BUT we have had to fix emitters because the deer trip over them 😅 Thanks for this informative video yet again ☺️
