Good Job again Adam! I'm watching over some of Drip Depots videos for inspiration on how I'm going to record mine, your videos are very professional and I strive to achieve a fraction of that for my videos at first.
I'm probably the last person to give advice on video-making (these were my first ever!), but I found imagining that I'm just having a conversation with someone about drip irrigation helped me be a bit more natural. I try to keep the mindset of "just chatting with someone." :)
@@dripdepot I uploaded the video to my channel!, I tried to post the link here but my comment wouldn't post. Lmk what you think any advice is welcome. Thanks Adam!
@@CastBlastCamp Drip Depot • 1 second ago I saw that! I actually have that video open in another window so I can watch it the moment I have a few minutes (shouldn't be long). I've watched about 2 minutes so far, and wow! You sure this is your first video? I've already subscribed (and liked!), your garden is wonderful and your install or the irrigation looked fantastic. You already knew a couple tricks for camera angles that my videographer noticed too. I'll leave you a comment on the video when I've watched all the way through :) And weird it didn't let you link in this one but did the other -- no settings that should prevent youtube links at all, weird!
@@DripDepotAdam Thanks alot, as for it being my first video that I recorded edited and upload alone, yes its my first! I try to take inspiration from what I think looks good from other creators. Thanks a lot for the sub and like!
Another problem with driptape is we may not get the exact spacing between holes or might get more holes than required. Can we stop the unnecessary dripholes with goof-plugs and remove them when required or is that once a goofplug is plugged in we cannot remove it and reuse it when we change the crop next season??
Unfortunately not, at least not yet -- manufacturers have been working on it, but so far nothing has hit the market. Hopefully this comes sooner than later, as I fully agree, right now you have to ensure the plant spacing matches the dripper spacing and they're all harvested at the same time. Some plants with large root zones benefit from water dripping between plants, but otherwise it's best to ensure the spacings match.
Potentially! If the PSI at your water source is within the operating range of the dripline (12 to 50 PSI for one brand, 10 to 60 PSI for the other), you can indeed go without a pressure regulator. If you're at the high end, it might be worth grabbing one anyway to reduce wear and tear on components, but as far as emission goes, it will be uniform and drip near the stated rate within those ranges :)
Very useful video Thnks. Still deciding. Whats the maximum length a DripLine can run?? Field is 240 mtrs long and 120 mtrs wide with mainline running in the middle all along the 240 mtrs length. Can I get away with just one subline. If yes then my dripline will be 120 mtrs long on each side or else I have to run two sublines and my dripline will only be 60 mtrs on each side.
Dripline's maximum run length depends largely on the emitter spacing, emitter flow rate and inlet pressure -- Irritec made a chart for their drip line that shows the maximum run length of their poly drip line that may be helpful -- the 18mm entries are for the diameter of drip line we carry: www.dripdepot.com/file/parent/2036/2036-Apex%20PC%20Heavywall%20Drip%20Brochure%202016.pdf. Note, the chart doesn't have the 12" spaced drip line on it, but when using that it's best to stay under 60 meters.
Are the seeds coming in with the lake water? If so, there's a good chance a downstream filter with a fine enough mesh could get these filtered out for you. Potentially a foot valve with strainer on the inlet side of the pump, but those tend to have wider meshes so would only work on large seeds (and you probably have one of those already). Good chance a 120 to 155 mesh filter could get those seeds and filters are reasonably inexpensive :)

Brad here again..
Thanks for your help on my drip system!!
It came out great watching your video and personal tips!!
Brad
Brad, that's awesome! You'll get to enjoy it for many years to come. I hope your garden prospers this year!
Excellent video. Lot to learns
Thank you sincerely Abid!

So if you use heavy wall dripline you don't need a pressure reducer on the head assembly?
Potentially! If the PSI at your water source is within the operating range of the dripline (12 to 50 PSI for one brand, 10 to 60 PSI for the other), you can indeed go without a pressure regulator.

Our irrigation comes from a lake. We get all the seeds we didn't plant from there. Is there a system we can use to block those things?
