Wow! I guess this is the difference between having a gardening youtuber explain a build and having a diy builder explain a build. This is by far the best video I've seen on how to do this. Thank you!
Your wife is a lucky woman to have a handyman as yourself. I have to do all my gardening so I guess it will be the water hose doing my job. Was fun watching though.
Man, this is all so diligent, clean and accurate for everything. My garden looks entirely like I just looked and went "eh, good enough" for everything built after this haha
I just want to say, you're awesome! I don't know how I have not stumbled on to your videos before now but I am glad that I did finally. The level of instructional detail that you provide is wonderful and missing in so many other's attempts to do the same. You've given me some great ideas to add to my garden. I hope you make more videos. Thanks! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
By far the best instructional PVC irrigation video!! This fall my family will be installing a PVC irrigation to our newly acquired land. Thank you for making this video...I'd give it 10 stars our of 5 if I could!

I live in central Texas, and now that it’s late June, getting out to hand water the garden in the morning...it’s already hot! I’ve been intimidated by how to put together a PVC pipe watering system and have put it off way too long. Thank you for this extremely detailed video, which has inspired me to finally tackle this. All the steps, like using teflon tape, and not permanently glueing the long pieces of pipe...it’s so smart and it’s the stuff I knew I wasn’t thinking about haha... Subscribed!
Thank you so much for putting this video out ! I have tried everything to water my garden without me having to hand water each plant. This video is clear to follow and so instructive. I can't wait to start a garden this year with this irrigation technique. Thank you again for this easy to follow watering tips and supply list. 🙂
lots of work initially to set it up but each year after that there would be little cost or work involved. growing healthy food yourself is so satisfying and rewarding. i have been gardening for years and for me there is nothing like getting out in the garden and enjoying the quiet. i like to go barefooted in my garden as it connects me with the earth. even if you do raised beds you can take your shoes off and work your garden. try it if you have not in the past. you may find it will refresh you mind and body.
You sir, are one intelligent human being. My wife and I are looking to buy land in Texas, because we want to control what we're eating and your videos have given me a lot of ideas.
This is a good system, I made one for my hugelkultur raised bed. My tubes were 14 ft long with 1/16" holes every 3 inches. You can get away without valves. I put restrictor disc's that were home made from plastic rod, with about 3/8" opening into the two outer tubes to more or less equalize the flow. Saves the expense and space used with valves. I really didn't glue anything since all fit snug. Good job on the video!
These are some of the coolest videos I have watched on TH-cam ever. I will be trying this out for sure. What I really appreciate about your videos is that you explain what you are using and how. That makes it much less daunting attempting this myself. Props!
Very good video. I love the tips on marking and cutting the pvc. I too have been experimenting with many different systems for raised beds and all have pros and cons. I have installed a new system this year that is cloned off of a commercial irrigation system for strawberry farming. The "drip" hose is entirely under the surface and waters the roots saving a lot of water vs above ground irrigation. Only in operation for 2 months but as dry as we have been in the mid Atlantic this spring its already paying dividends.
Excellent tutorial video. Was looking for a well planned PVC irrigation system tutorial as I want to create a set up like yours for my SF method raised beds. You video is perfect for what I need. Lot's of great tips for the construction methods too, which is greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing this video.
As an irrigation contractor I gotta say this is a super weird way to do it lol. Like the creative aspect, but honestly using proper dripline is so much easier and better looking (not soaker hose, actual dripline - lookup rainbird dripline). All you need is some stakes and some barbed fittings to put it together. You can do a grid like in this video. The barbed fittings just need to be inserted into the dripline and that's it - no clamps or glueing. Each dripline hole (emitter) is pressure regulated and ensures that 0.9 gallons per hour comes out of each emitter so you have even watering.
The dripline methods seems difficult is you do hard density garden. I have 3 raised 4 x 6. I plant lettuce, carrots, radishes, small plants between my taller . I was looking at soaker hoses, the drip lines..but putting all those individual holes for the sprayers seems a lot of work. I found on a different video, "The Garden Grid System ". I'm looking at that.
I'm also an Irrigation contractor and can't agree more. You can also use poly pipe and put emitters in with the gph range you need. There are so many better ways to do this...I have to smh.
I like this way of doing it. I read the contractors comment and I have used similar stuff from crop king. I mix my water and fertilizer in a tank and pump it into the system. I have had emitters that clog and the punch hole and the barbs connection was not always the best. I use a pvc system similar to this now and for me it is better.
What an amazing video. Thank you so much for the description. This is such a smart system. I'll try it on one of my raised beds this season, not sure if I'll be able to do the others. I already have a tower system set-up that uses an overhead drip system.
Very craftsman level work by Robert. This system seems a lot more durable than the drip systems that include 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch perforated tubing. The only thing missing is a fertilizer injector!
Thanks Paul, and yes, I've stubbled upon those fertilizer injectors while watching other videos here on TH-cam and considering seeing how I may add it to my system.
I can see using PVC in square foot garden working double duty, for the grid and watering. Well thought out!!! Being able to control the water flow to each zone is great. Do you rotate your crops? How does PVC hold up to UV over time? I’ve found they sag and break down over time.
Awsome mate.. I'd like to experiment with bigger holes on top of the tubing with the tubing placed closer to lettuce both sides in order to quicken watering times to minimize the house pump working
Bro, just a quick info. The Teflon Tape is not to make it easy to connect but to provide a water tight seal to avoid leaks. It serves like a gasket but in/on a thread. Great Job though. Nice System.
excellent video i love your style, ability to educate so well!. perfect mix of talk, music and humor. i appreciate all the how to and why’s you discuss. Just subscribed and hit bell for all new videos and can’t wait to watch all your videos!
I've been using a PVC system for years. I have found a system that I believe is cheaper and adaptable. I use two hoses that run from my 1HP garden well pump. Each hoses connects to a row of raised beds that have 4 beds each. I can water these 8 beds at one time. I have a PVC with a hose thread that is glued to a section of 3/4 inch PVC. That is how I attach my hose. But the rest of my system is not glued together and it does not leak or fall apart. I use 3/4 pipe along the edges of my 4 beds that are in a row. Each Raised Bed is 10 feet long. I come off my 3/4 inch pipe with 3 way connectors that go from 3/4 pvc pipe to 1/2 pvc pipe . The pipe that goes into the bed is a 10 ft long 1/2 PVC pipe. I use a cap at the end of each 10 ft piece to stop the water. I drilled small holes along the side of each 1/2 PVC pipe. Since my system is not glued together I can change it each year depending on what I plant in that bed. If I need more then I put in more 1/2 pipes. Also if I decide in the middle that i don't want to water with a particular 1/2 PVC line...then unhook that pipe and insert a small 4 inch section of 1/2 PVC pipe with a cap on it. I wish I could share pictures because it would more easily show you my set up. My system has been adapted from many TH-cam videos that I saw about 8 years ago. Thanks I enjoy the video.
@@GreenTechTown How can I do a birdbath pump running only off solar, no battery? Would like to see video of one using a inexpensive panel and a good pump, think you can do this, Thanks John.
I like your set up, im going to be using rain harvesting water, im also using a 12v pump, but I set up my 12v pump with a pressure accumulation tank, the pump will be running on solar....you sold me on the pvc, im having problems ordering a drip irrigation system, I live in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
I'm using garden hose with adjustable nozzle instead of holes... and I'm using the water from the rain water barrel...I do have a electronic valve with 7days to choose how many times a day or a week to water the plants... I'm still working on it to install in the garden... today
5:54 - I’m amazed by your planting techniques! Definitely inspired to start my own vegetable garden! 🤩

I'm going to do some research but I think the pvc would be cheaper
You are correct. The cost per square metre is too much. It is just a creative exercise ,I guess.
