I quit school Bc I didn’t like recess. Best line ever!!
Love the new camera work! Excited for this show every week!
You two crack me up. I will be a fan and customer for life. Thank you.
Thanks Michelle! We'll be here when you need us!
Hey Greg, I really enjoy watching you and your boy together.. I saw some headbutting going on there with you two and it doesn’t surprise me that you guys parted ways. I really enjoy watching both you guys and I hopeThere was no love lost and all is good with your family.❤️
One thing about starting the drip line, you should let the line run along time to make sure that you develope large enough well under your emitters. If you don't that well will be too small for mature plants. It's especially important for perennials like lavender. Do make sure when you set up the system, for the next few days run the good long time so the area around that is wet deep and wide. This will create a large water well good for mature plants. God bless.
Love the new camera work. Very professional
Thanks Jayse!
Love your video's very informative, Man your shipping dept. is fast. Ordered my drip irrigation March 24th, it came today March 26th, I will post the unboxing and installation video soon and Ordered my Giant Pumpkins seeds today, probably be here tomorrow. LOL. Dang gotta order a hat.
Thanks for being a great customer!
That brother in law is me lol. I meticulously research everything
Hello, thank you so very much for your support 😊 ❤. I very much appreciated the shout out. My channel is getting subscribers from your announcement. Your subscribers are very loyal. I never miss a video for a couple of years since I stumbled upon your channel as a proud retired woman. Always give appropriate and valuable information. I watch your videos repetitively. As for shirts..v-necks would offer another option. However I preferred round neck tops. Tanks are nice 2. Stay blessed. Thank you, Greg and Travis
Following you per Greg and Travis recommended
Our pleasure Momma J!
Thank you for clearing that up about soaker hose
I love to grow field or southern peas and blanch and freeze them. My standards are old Mississippi Purple Hulls and Texas Cream 40. I would not mess with peas at all if I had not inherited a Taylor Way pea shelling machine. mine is 40 years old and is made in Georgia. you might consider featuring one on your show or even adding them to your product list.
I already have a hundred year old hand crank corn sheller. I appreciate you featured the corn meal and grits making mill with your Jimmie Red corn. I will buy one.
I know the shelling machine. They are no longer being made. It is a good product.
Miss the dynamic duo!
As always, great show!!! I really enjoy the both of you!! Thanks
The new camera work is nice. We couldn't afford to go with the drip tape this year but it's definitely happening next year.
Exellent point Travis....... Lay it down and softly whisper, pretty love words in her ear.
But I wont talk of starry skies or moonlight on the ground, I'll come right out and tell you, I'd just love to lay it down.
Excellent show once again gentleman. Keep up the good work
Oh yes to tanks. Love my Rad Ish teeshirt!
I’m impressed with the new camera setup! I imagine that takes longer to edit it all together, and I appreciate all the hard work y’all put into it! I learn so much from y’all in every video and look forward to every one you put out!! I love your products and your channel!!
Thanks Ellen! It does take longer, but we think it's worth it!
You offer propagation domes for your Delux Seed Starting Kit and the seed starting smaller trays.If you could find a germination cover for the larger trays, that would negate some if not all of the need for the germination chamber you described. Heat mat + seed tray + propagation dome = fast and efficient germination.
Not likely we'll ever have a dome for the larger trays. That's one reason we added the smaller-scale kits, so that the indoor growers would have a dome.
Love the new camera work
I’m adding an area of in Ground garden this summer and really enjoyed this segment on drip irrigation! I will absolutely be getting a system when the garden is done! And Travis, you were down in my neck of the woods camping!! Next time you’re down this way you need to go eat at Hunters Pub! A little hole in the wall that’s pretty famous down this way! They have the best steak and lobster tails you’ve ever wrapped your lips around! FDR is a great park! Hope you and family had a big time!
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you to David for packing my order and getting it to me in two business days.
Thanks for your order Danny!
Great work! 👍🏾
“If Wes can do it any one can do it.” 😂
Like your new format
Thanks Larry!
Great show! I am just ready to start gardening so really enjoyed the drip tape portion. Its dry here in Oklahoma. Y'all havagudun, Ya hear.
Sounds great!
Thank you! Now, maybe I’ll be brave enough to install my drip hose. LOL! I’ve had it for about 3-4 years. Still in the box. Shaking my head.
I have a couple small raised beds and some large black pots. This year, I even ordered some grow bags.
Best of luck! Once you get it installed, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
Congrats on the great camera work!
Digging the new camera work and graphics 🙂
Thanks Jamie!
Like the new 🎥 guys congrats
Great video!! I went and subscribed to everyone’s great channel 😁 thanks for sharing!!
You rock!
Great show as always! Have you guys ever thought about adding a “Reviews” section to the seeds/items on your website? The Row By Row fb group is so informative and helpful, it would be very beneficial to have their knowledge organized to respective items.
We used to have one, but it was a bit of pain to manage due to spammers.
That was me!!! I knew an old gentleman who did well in big pumpkin-growing contests. He told me that he fed his pumpkins milk..
I might have to try that little secret!
@@ldg2655 wanna bet whether milk fed was organic or highly pasteurized process? Ideas? Dennis
I use your drip tape for 7 raised beds and 25 x 30 I ground garden. I use your first design except I use 6 elbows because I go to dirt level on inside of raised beds only because I am ocd
Whatever works!
Wickles wicked okra is my absolute FAVORITE pickled okra! I get right pissy when my local Publix is out of it!
😂
Can you explain further on the legume inoculates? I've seen it recommended several times, but haven't found much at all on the nerdy breakdown I'm looking for! Thanks!
Our product page here provides more detail: hosstools.com/product/granular-garden-soil-inoculant/
I love the Beet tshirt, but I only wear V necks. Adding V necks would be great! Yes I am a girl:)!
Yes please add tank tops to your line. On the drip irrigation on raised bed..why not drill holes in the sides of your raised bed. Now bear with me and think about it. If you are trying to get your water up, why make it go up that high? Depending on how high your raised bed is, use a drill with a 1 - 1 1/2 paddle drill bit and run your drip tape through the holes and however much you need throughout your bed and out to your other beds on the same fashion. That way your water is not having to travel up as high before it gets across to your plants. I can send a pic of what I drew up if needed. Yall did very well explaining everything on this show. I am currently debating the drip irrigation for this year. I know I want to try it and I don't doubt it will be worth the cost, I'm just having to limit my spending so I'm experimenting with using what I have on hand at this time..again yes to the tank tops!!
I think that's a great idea.
Travis, I saw a weather report that the south is going to have another cold spell April 1-7! Right now I have all my starts up, and on my now enclosed porch. My concern is that my starts are going to be bigger than I want when I do get to plant them. I'm in NE Alabama. As for weighing your giant pumpkins the kid at Grow Jack could prob. help y'all figure that one out
Looks like we're only going to get in the 40s here.
Great show as usual ! I just shopped with yall using some of sleepy Joe's money. I ordered some Micro Boost, Organic Fertilizer, as well as a few other things and my question is, can I use either of those fertilizers on my month old tomato seedlings? They are looking pretty healthy except that a few leaves have a purple tint to them. Thanking you in advance !!!!
You can use the Micro-Boost on seedlings, but I'd probably wait and use the Complete Organic at planting.
@@gardeningwithhoss Good deal !! Thank you so much for the information !! You guy's rock !!
Have either of you tried growing a double row of corn on one single drip tape line or is that not enough space?
I have not, but have seen it done. You'd still probably need multiple double rows, spaced 3' apart or so to make it work for best pollination.
Hey, love the show! Any chance ya'll could start uploading to Spotify as a podcast? I commute 2 hrs per day to work and would enjoy listening. Thanks!
We're on iTunes and Google Podcasts I believe. I'll have to check and see why we're not on Spotify at the moment.
@@gardeningwithhoss gotcha. I'll ll have to check in to those. Thanks!
This might be off the subject but when you hill your potato the first time...you mentioned that you side dress with the 20-20-20. How do you apply it? Do you mix in water can or sprayer?
You would want to mix it with water in a can or sprayer. I'll probably just put it in my injector and inject it through the overhead tripod sprinkler.
Look at those camera angles....
Better have a good well,even with drip irrigation you will have one more monster water bill and well water is much better for your plants
Good video guys! Keep it up, I have a question about my watermelon. I am growing the yellow baby doll and I am having trouble with germination. One will come up then die then the next and so on. They are Kept in controlled environment and using seed start mix and humidity dome.
Hmm. We haven't noticed that with the baby dolls we planted. Are you leaving the humidity dome on there after they germinate?
@@gardeningwithhoss no, once I saw one tray pop up and they were opening, I removed it and about four days later they just started dying on me. Tried it with the others and the same thing. Soil is moist room is about 75 degrees, but they will pop up then they just shriveled up. I have peppers and tomatoes on the same rack and they are doing great, “that Bella Rosa is awesome” by the way. I am at a loss to be honest that is the only thing not working with me.
Only thing I can think is that they got too dry or it wasn't warm enough, but that doesn't sound like it was the case.
Hey Greg, I'm curious about the Guinea Nest onions you got from Ms. Annie Merle Hall, Did they multiply? Might they be available soon? Also will you be offering a Hill / Potato onion?
He has a big plot of multiplying onions growing behind the warehouse. Hoping to have them available for purchase in fall.
We love our drip tape so far...we do have a little bit of leaking where the drip tape hooks to the main line...any idea how to fix that?
If it's just a little dribble, that is normal. If it starts making huge puddles, might consider plugging that hole and punching a new, cleaner hole.
Can you use one filter regulator for more that one garden plot, just moving as you water, or does each plot need its own that stays attached? This will be my first year using drip irrigation.
I have a filter/regulator at each plot so I just move the water hose from plot to plot. I find that's easier. You could certainly unscrew the filter/regulator from the mainline and move it with the water hose from plot to plot if you'd like though.
How many days before planting should i seed primus corn for transplant. I plan on doing 3 15x15 plots planted 2 weeks apart in sequence
I'd say corn would only take 3-4 weeks or so before getting to transplanting size.
Nathan. Did I confuse my onions? I'm in zone 7 so I chose candy onions to start from seed. I started my onions inside under grow lights. I don't have timers on my grow lights and more than a few times I forgot to turn the grow lights off over night. Will leaving grow lights on for more than the recommended light effect onion seed starts as far as bulbing to early?. Also the onion starts grew about an inch over the grow lights and the tips of the onions are brown. Should I cut the brown part off before planting in the garden? The plants are about 5 inches long. Thanks,love all the free content and advice you provide it is much appreciated.
You can edit my question to use if I seemed like I was babbling lol.
I would just try to simulate your outdoor conditions with the grow lights. And I don't think it's necessary to trim them before planting.
????Can you make slight curves to add additional rows on same run of drip tape if turned on its side????
sure
How deep do you set the drip tape and help me understand, do I put the tape between the row or directly in line with the row?
About 2 inches and plant on top of it.
So this may be a dumb question, but witch is better for top watering? Drip tape or soaker hose?
drip
I built my wife a raised off the ground raised garden two feet by eight feet. can I do a system that small and light ways rows across for herbs mainly what do you recommend ? PS. I'm also doing larder garden so I can use left over stuff there.is it too small for tape.
Sure you can. You can use the horseshoe design like we showed on the video. You might just want an additional filter/regulator setup to water the raised separately from the in-ground garden.
hi yall, will ashes hurt being your garden ? since i live in Nwest Georgia and we have mostly that ol red clay
Not at all. Just might want to do some regular soil tests to make sure your potassium doesn't get too high.
I am running drip line with built in emitters-and am on. A well, they seems to get.clogged pretty easy not sure if you can blow them out. I do. Have a filter at the faucet, does the drip tape not clog as easy as the line? And can it be attached to any 1/2” main line?
We've never had any issues with the drip tape clogging. And yes, the drip tape is fed by the 1/2" mainline via the row start connections we showed in the video.
Peas need snaps in them. My mother intentionally picked snaps.
Would the 8 ml kit work with a gravity fed system if I added a pump? Also, I 1000% need a tank.
Yes, if you had a pump you'd be fine.
I'm currently using your drip irrigation system with my garden. I have 8 rows at 30 feet each. I also have several potted tomato plants (in 10 gal containers) that I added. How do I get water specifically to these pots using my current drip tape system? Just a little confused......can I attach a mainline tube line (instead of drip tape) to my mainline to reach the pots and then build up and over? Will this affect the other drip tape rows? Love all your videos!
You'll want to water the containers a little bit different, but you can tie the entire system together. For the containers, I'd recommend using the drippers like in our Container Watering Kit (hosstools.com/product/container-watering-kit/). The mainline tubing is the same between the drip irrigation kit and the container kit, so it can be tied together so supply both the in-ground garden and the containers.
Can you leave this out in the garden overwinter in Zone 4?
Possibly. It will empty completely once the water is turned off, so there shouldn't be anything in there to freeze.
Gotta use the brass coupler, not PVC one, above the filter. PVC one has failed me many times causing me to have to disassemble and replace .
We used to carry the brass ones and they were worse than the PVC ones. That’s why we switched.
What heat source you using in homemade germinatiion units...Dennis
you can use a old crock pot
Are you using the 3.6mm fitting or 7m for the 1/2 tubing
Below is a link to our drip irrigation kits which has all this information included.
You can also buy the individual pieces.

About what time of year do you harvest overwintered shallots?
About right now.
I’ve really really been eyeballing the 8mil kit y’all have. Its designed for up to 20 rows best I can figure. But what if I don’t want to water all 20 of my rows at the same time? You have on/off valves for your row starts listed separately on your site. I’d be much more likely to buy the kit if I didn’t have to buy two sets of valves separately for another 50 or so dollars. Have you considered adding in the shutoff valves in your kits?
We have, but that would also increase the cost of the kit. Since the valves aren't completely necessary, we didn't put them as part of the kit. That's more of a customization option.
What is the "minimum" flow rate to use the fertilizer injector? I have 4 raised beds 8' long. I have room for 3 lengths of tape in each bed, that's 76 total feet of tape. That calculates to a total of 0.36 gal/min. Is that enough "flow per min" for the siphon on the injector to work?
No probably not enough for it to work.
My garden is 100x30. Can I just run a 100’ main line & attach all of my rows to it? Will there b enough pressing to go that far? Or do I need to divide it into 2 , 50’ sections to water separately
The pressure is will not be your issue. The issue will be do you have enough flow to support that many rows at once. As we stated in the video, you can water 250' of tape at a time per 1 gallon of flow rate. If you don't have enough flow to support that many rows, you may consider creating zones within the mainline to water sections at a time.
Do the drip tape emitters ever clog and if it does how do you clear it?
We've never had any issues and we've been burying it for years. If it were to clog, you can always remove the row end and flush the lines.
Hey guys next door in Tifton seems all my taters have rotted can I replant?
Worth a shot.
how is the weather there
Starting to get in the low 80s during the day.
Old Alabama Gardener puts milk on his tomatoes. Never tried it but may this year if I can get some to grow. I tried seeds this year instead of plants. Once your tomatoes get their true leaves and you up pot to potting soil, how wet do I keep the soil? I had a lot of several varieties that looked so good but almost all of them wilted and died after transplanting. I fertilized 1/2 strength, did grow lights, gave them fan air, and started hardening off, did all the things. I wonder if I kept them too wet. Very frustrating since they were all doing so good. I had about 60 zinnias that did exactly the same thing.
Just keep the soil moist. We water ours 2-3 times a day in the greenhouse, but indoor growing may not require that much.
@@gardeningwithhoss ok thank you.
My landscaper put in a half inch tube in all our vegetable beds. Can I get a 1/2 to 5/8 in coupling adapter and use your drip irrigation system with it?
It's probably the same thing. Some companies refer to the inside diameter (1/2") while others refer to the outside diameter (5/8").
@@gardeningwithhoss if it does not fit, will I be able to return it?
Sure.
Greg, that razor took off ten years. The multiple camera setups are good but the lighting seemed harsh tonight. Center camera may have been a little out of focus. A little different this time, but alright.
We'll get the kinks worked out in the next few weeks. Thanks for watching.
I have a lot of iron in my well water. Soaker hoses seem to clog up after a while. Would I have this problem with this system. I'm really interested in your system. I have to leave two weeks during summer and my wife kills my garden.
The filter should catch those hard minerals -- that's why we include it in all our kits.
@@gardeningwithhoss THANK YOU. I'll be ordering it soon.
suggest 8 or 15 mil?
I like 8 mil for veggies mostly, although I did use 15 mil on my tomatoes and peppers just because I had a half a roll that needed to be used.
Sorry I can’t remember how to get you guys! I want some Big Boy Peas! Do you have some?
Right here: hosstools.com/product/texas-big-boy-pea/
What is the best way to water sweet potatoes?
They're pretty heat-tolerant, so they're not as water hungry as other crops. We'll lay drip on top of the soil, plant the slips beside the emitters, then cover the tape when we hill the sweet potatoes.
You guys seem a little less comfortable with the new camera angles. I like the one view better as one of the best parts or your show is the interaction between you two. Don't go Hollywood on us. Love your content and interaction between you two.
We'll get better at it -- getting used to which camera we should be looking at.
Soaker hoses should be named sucker hoses. You have been suckered for buying it.
🤣
Are you sure your drippers are 0.48gallons/min? (that's equivalent 28.8gallons/h per dripper!)? I think you mean per hour. Please confirm.
It's 0.48 gal/min per 100 ft. of tape, which is the equivalent of 0.0048 gal/min per emitter since the emitters are located every 12" along the tape.
@@gardeningwithhoss so for tomatoes that need 1 - 1/2 inch of water a week (given 1inch = 0.6 gal), I would need to run drip for a total of 45-65 mins 3x/wk. Thanks for the conversion information, you helped me identify early an underwatering problem before it became a problem
I am interested in buying the high wheel hoe, planter and drip hose attachment can someone contact me on this?
They have an email

there is no need for a tank 25 feet off the ground to provide pressure. Pressure is provided by elevation only. An open ended PVC pipe leaning up on a tree or building near your garden works fine. A few feet of clear plastic pipe at the very top helps so you can see where the water level is. just turn on the valve and let the drip system charge. Water will then back up the standpipe and flow out of the top. then simply turn the valve down to where you can see water in the clear pipe part. Keeps from wasting water. If you don't have the clear plastic part you can't tell how far down the water level is so you might not be running high enough pressure. This pressure system can't get clogged up. The emitters might but this part won't. A store bought pressure regulator is probably better but this can be a quick fix if you run over yours and have to order a replacement.
I watched an RbR two nights ago that kinda struck a chord with me. You guys were going out of your way trying to justify the high price of your seeds by saying that too many people undervalue what they got. You then stuck up a coke bottle and pack of MnMs to make your point. Before I go any further, let me first say that I'm all for making a buck. But what happens when they guy selling you the seeds realizes that you are making more money than he is and he is the one taking the risk and doing all of the work? Does he raise the price and then you raise your already higher than everyone else's price even more? At what point is enough, enough? Not trying to be a prick. Just a food for thought kinda thing. And when i say risk/work, I'm tlaking crop failures and time invested. I know yall are taking a risk and have time/work involved also... but it's not the same so to speak. Be well. Love your vids. I watch every one to the end to help your stats and am a premium youtube subber.
I wasn't trying to justify our seed pricing. I was simply explaining why consumers have seen seed price increases in the last year and might continue to see some increases. This analogy was made by one of our competitors on a zoom call. I was simply sharing the analogy he made as he stated that their company was looking at price increases. We were just trying to be transparent with our great viewers and providing insight into some industry trends that we expect in the future.
Theys some cheaters in this country. Cut hole in pumpkin and load it with weight and seal it back up. A bass fisherman got caught filling a bass up with led. Just saying.
If someone decides to go to those measures, I hope their conscience weighs heavy about it.
@@gardeningwithhoss me to, it should !
