What or how should I run irrigation/drip tubing from a splitter at my hose bib to a raised planter and potted tree? This system will have to be trenched under the pavers I am having installed for my back patio? Should I run white pVC?
The last time I installed under a sidewalk, I ran PVC inside a bigger ABS pipe. That way if I had problems, I could pull it through or replace it. But after 12 years, still no problems. So yes, I ran pvc. But I'm not an expert on plumbing. Also, for the raised planter, watch this video. th-cam.com/video/77z_UisxYxM/w-d-xo.html
Thorough and unlike many videos I watch on youtube you don't ramble on about nothing. It was all information!!!! I am now starting raised beds. You are the first video I've seen on drip irrigation. Overwhelming is all I can say. I'll be researching more on drip irrigation. You gave great advise as to the do's and don'ts along with comparing different ways to set it up. I'll likely play a little with it over the season to find what works best for me. Thanks again
Wow, I have watched several months of these videos, most from commercial and professionals, however, I was still unsure or afraid to tackle this because they made it seen so complexed. I watch your video one time and I completely understand the simplicity of a dip system and most of all, I know that I can do this myself. Thank you for taking your time and making this clearer.
You are a plant, sanity, and anxiety saver! This video is EXCELLENT. I laughed pretty hard a couple of times. I'm very grateful you made this video! This video is well done. thank you!
You totally took the fear away of installing a system. I lost a few good crops last year because I work out of town and wasnt able to water as much as was needed. It's on this year BROTHER!!! Thank you!!
Get a Timer that You can follow and than let it work. It does good and You need to win in the end. I should know. In Australia we follow much when You Yanks start to put it all away but not here, we leave it up and it is done!
Yeees! You are right, we dont want to water the weeds too. I have been watching all kinds of irrigation. This is just perfect and i think this is what im going to do to my garden.
Yes, I was referring to the first bed you showed. I'm glad that you just said you have a ball valve installed in each bed; now I can honestly say that your video is 100% clear. Thanks for taking the time to explain it to us noobies!
Please note: Place your filter immediately after the back-flow presenter (2nd in line in this assembly). This catches any debris before it enters any of the other components attached down stream. This is especially important to do BEFORE the pressure reducer where any debris can plug-up and actually end-up reducing the PSI below the targeted PSI and restricting MORE water-flow/rate than you had intended. Hope this helps ! Great video - esp. like when you mention that there are a "million" ways to build your system - that is right on !
Who cares? This is one of the most informative explanations of a drip system out their! Im so glad that your comment has clarified that for all of us! Thanx a bunch! "Oh" please excuse my improper spelling of the word their...GEEK!
THANK YOU! This video has been my absolute FAVORITE so far that I have watched. I am a fav new subscriber! Keep sharing! Single Mom's like myself LOVE IT! Thanks!
You’re the man! I 100% appreciate this video. I learned so much in a short time. I have been to Lowe’s and Home Depot 6-7 times trying to make sense of it all, your irrigation system instructions are a game-changer for me! I’m ready to buy a farm, Lol! You just save my little garden plants while I’m away on vacation. A million times thank you.
Great tutorial!! I appreciate your thoroughness, showing different options, and getting right to the point! My hubby just built my raised garden beds, I am growing my seedlings indoors (Here in AZ it is too hot to start seeds outdoors) Now I am trying to figure out the best way to water. PERFECT EXAMPLES!! I have watched several videos and yours is the first one that I was able to watch all the way through, and provided the info I needed.Thank you!. Happy Planting!!
I'm just getting into drip irrigation for my patio pot plants that are 15+ feet from the nearest spigot. PVC piping is the way I wanted to go but didn't have any idea how to do it. This gives me all the information I need to do it right. Thanks so much!
Start with only ONE size and not any more and I know You will like it. Start small and a few pots will do. Than go on and enjoy the work, You will. I am 80y and have time and enjoyment now.
I had been researching how to best construct a drip irrigation system for raised beds when I stumbled across your video. It is absolutely insightful! Thank you for sharing this well organized tutorial and your helpful commentary!
@@ObligatoryX don't you have to remove the pipes off the ground at the end of the year / season on order to vitalise the soil, aerate it for the next round of growing plants? that is a drag with those pipes in your way. no?
Definitely *some* overkill, but I appreciate his methods as he said there are a million different ways to do it. I have a large implementation, multiple zones in every direction around my property. I rarely plumb two areas the same way. Each setup requires some uniqueness based on water availability, physical layout, and what is being grown. For an instructional video, the depth is very good.
Good thing about these ideas regarding the installation of drip irrigation for raised beds are really a big help in such a way of conserving water. I found it very easy to install and I guess I will not hesitate to apply this system to my raised bed garden.
you do understand that your inlet to your house is 99% sure... PVC, but there's a small chance it's iron, but in that case... You can enjoy the rust flowing through your body
yes PVC leaches out known carcinogens and hormone disruptors like phthalates, BPA or BPS; that is why it is not recommended for drinking water or to water vegetable gardens; alternatives are lead free brass fittings, plastics made from recycle codes 2,4 and 5 and hoses made from polyurethane
All of the videos that I watched for how to install irrigation drip system yours is by far the best..you are very thorough explaining how and why...thank you so much for sharing this now i can do it myself without pulling my hair and also what materials that I needed to do it. Thank you so much....
Great Video thanks! I'd like to install drip on my raised beds but we usually rotate our plants from season to season. If you are putting an emitter at each plant how do you compensate for future plantings where the location of the plant will be different?
Like you said there are many ways to diversify your drip irrigation system! You did a good job of explaining how it works and the function of each component, which can remove the intimidation of making your own system.I totally agree that you want to have ball valve on each raised bed for volume control according to plant needs & maturity I also do the same thing for my patio boxes on my deck! Thanks for posting this video! Have a productive year!
Greatly helpful coming just the right time of the year! Please help me with the steps necessary for going from one season to the next. I mean, the plants are done this year, we go through fall and winter and spring is upon us again. How do I efficiently handle the pipes and drips to be able to add compost/fertilizer and start new plantings?
Thanks for the video. Like Jared I just spent about $100.00 at Home Depot, but after watching this video, I will be returning about half of what I bought.
Seems like the straight stream these emit, would erode the dirt and create holes. Even smaller drips would eventually. Wouldn't a mist emitter be better?
I am just planning and getting ready to install a drip tape system on two hugel beds but I will put a drip pipe system in on the others. Thanks for the info. It was very clear, relaxed, confident and friendly. Good job.
Honestly, in the beginning I thought you were trolling us with all of those adapters and filters...I was laughing pretty hard. However, I quickly realized you are an excellent teacher. I’ve watched thousands of hours of youtube “How to” videos, on subjects from plumbing, to Finite Element Analysis, and you really are in the top 5 teachers I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the video. I will be setting up my first drip irrigation on my 100x100 ft garden this year. I was looking for someone that uses only the 1/2" tubing, rather than the 1/4 inch. You gave me what I needed. Thank you. Happy gardening
Enjoyment and Manual... those two words don't go together. At least in watering your garden. But hey, go for it. But it does beg the question>>> "why are you watching a video about installing an automatic drip system then"?
hand watering can also spread disease among your plants from the splashing effect. You may think you're simulating rain but you aren't. Drip irrigation is superior.
Generally, it is suggested that the pressure regulator come after the filter, since the filter will have a pressure drop across it that varies with total flow and any filter screen sediment. That just give a more consistent pressure delivered. Also, for many of the vacuum breakers the manufacturer says that they are not rated for continuous pressure or they will fail prematurely. If that is true for the one in use, place it downstream of the timer (or just shut off the faucet every time when done watering). Thanks for the video -- so clear and every second full of info.
Nice video, everything but the PVC part is good. PVC plastic is categorised as dangerous to human health, so it should be avoided as much as possible, and you should not even recycle it with other plastic types. Burn that 💩 and get some PP plastic or PE plastic... cheers
I just recently came across your videos. You do a great job explaining everything in a way that is easy to understand and follow. Thank you for taking the time to do these. Looking forward to watching more in the series for raised bed tips.
Nothing worst than knowing that you need a drip system and don't have a clue as to how to put one in. Only to find that the salesman/woman doesn't have a clue either or they are trying to sell you the moon. Your video made it simple to understand and it is just want I need for my raised garden too. Thank-You. You just made my day.
I am SO grateful that you took the time to make and post this great video. I had this vague idea of what a drip system is and how it should work, but I was clueless about which products to use, what my choices were, etc. I am using soaker hoses at the moment, but I just know they won't last. And they are a real pain to take up, store, and then put back out again. Thank you!!!
Excellent instructions and explanations. I was glad to see you added the onscreen mention of placing the pressure reducer before the timer. I had a more expensive programmable timer that cracked after one season because it was first in line from the faucet. All that constant pressure took its toll. I didn't catch if you said what state you are gardening in, but my experience here in Texas is that the emitters attached to 1/4 lines can blow off the hose barbs when the temperature gets way up. I used small wire to act as hose clamps before giving up on that method entirely. Your emitters in 1/2" line is much better. DIG makes a product called Dripline where the emitters are part of the hose, but again it is 1/4" line and that softens up a lot in the heat. I would still wire clamp them at the barbs. Covering the lines with mulch will also keep the joints and lines a little cooler, and help conserve water. Thanks for a great video.
well done ! You gave pretty simple and easily followed examples , You even nailed all my questions and this was my first video on the topic , I usually end up wasting my whole day or even week trying to get specific answers and good examples ,you saved me a lot of aggravation Thanks ,
I am in the process of building raised beds in my greenhouse with a drip system. This was really helpful and will be looking at adopting some of the tips you have shown.
excellent video. I have been reluctant to get a drip irrigation because it appeared to be too complicated. you have just clarified it all for me. THANK YOU. Gonna get mine this weekend
Hey first off great tips on setting up an irrigation system. My garden has a really cheap drip running through very little of the garden. I didn't think it was going to work, but by covering the soil with wood chips and bark the water didn't evaporate and the water seems to spread to the entire garden. So I ended up covering about 2 square feet for every 1 foot of pipe and it worked great and saved me LOTS of time from watering the garden with a hose.
I use the 1/4 inch tubing, but will try the flag emitters after watching your video. One thing I do that is helpful when working with any drip tubing - 1/2 inch or 1/2 - I bring a thermos of hot water to put the end of the tube in for about 15 seconds and then any tubing will connect to an adapter or connector with ease.
Wow!, Thank you so much for the time and energy put in to explain the installation of drip irrigation and explaining your experiences on advantages and disadvantages. Thanks a lot 🙏
Recommend your filter is the first thing to keep dirt and gunk from getting in your timer and pressure regulator (keep em clean, they last longer). I'm not sure if the timer would be affected by putting the pressure regulator before it, it may affect the run times, but if not would keep the pressure regular for it too, smother operation and longer lasting. Great info, thank you.
Duh!! I've been using a drip system for several years and love it. However, until I saw your video it never occurred to me that I could put drippers in the 1/2 inch hose - instead I used the 1/4 in feeds to water my plants. Your approach makes much more sense. Thanks.
This will be perfect for to beat Heat this summer for my watermelon hills. Watermelons need so much water I don't want to have to think about it I can set it and forget it. Thank you for such a detailed video. Cant wait to customize to my garden. After watching i think id like this through out the rest of my garden.
Really well done! Good sound and video; very clear. It needs to be as long as it is; the systems have a lot of parts and many possible configurations. I have read the instructions a dozen times for drip and there is nothing like seeing a system being set up. I am emboldened to put my system(s) together this week.Thank you for taking the time to make this video available to us all.
Thank you so much for your extensive detail on your drip project. Planning on setting up drip for next year. I particularly like the rigid pvc feed underground to the beds. You have given me much to think about for the project.
Thanks again for your helpful training. I purchased most of the items shown in your video today. I know amazon loves me and the shipping people not as fond with their new work load increase. I said hey more job security the carrier complained about the weight. Anyhow just works better to order than driving to a store sometimes it wasn’t always like this back in the day was more driving and work on the consumer. Anyways I even purchased the grapevine arbor to go with my grape and other citrus trees 🌲. Well I’m good at the present just waiting on 10 foot ladder to finish installing harbor freight greenhouse. Thanks again for the tips~
ow my god sir.. you're amazing.. now I have understood how this dripping system works.. I still need to study the water pressure, amount of water requirement, the pump water discharge requirement.. the calculations..
Bravo sir! I was searching for information about this topic and you have answered every single one of my questions. Very well done, all around because I believe I have uncovered a trove of knowledge. Thank you!
I'm not the creator of the video, but I just bought everything he shows here at Home Depot. There's an aisle for "Irrigation" and everything except the PVC and the Y-splitter were there. PVC was in the next aisle over and the splitter was in the garden department. My advice: put the system he describes in the very beginning of the video together while you're at the store. I ended up needing an extra connector between the timer and the pressure regulator.
I just found this looking to set up my irrigation as a new Gardner. Very well explained and demonstrated!! Super helpful! Thank you. Just liked and subscribed
Great info. You convinced me to go this route. I’m designing my first drip system for raised beds, mulched flower beds, and fruit trees. Thanks 😊🙏👍. Gonna start with my raised beds to get the hang of it.
Thanks for the vid. I'm starting a garden of vegetables for the first time and I appreciate all the help I can get, but I found yours especially useful, so thanks. One thing that irritates me though is that I didn't watch this before I already purchased my 1/4" drip system! Oh well, guess I'll upgrade.
Great video, i use this system but i use is a soaker hoses all throughout my garden. Use prograble timers what i will use is two things water reduce and filter.
Thanks for info. I had 1/2 inch line run underground by a sprinkler company It has been in ground since 1985 and that part is fine.No filter, wish they would have put one in. I don't think I can get one in the box for the zone without digging the box out & I don't think it will fit. Laser drip lines were run in areas & pinned down, they will run 16 ft.each, You are right about dirt or bugs and cleaning them.
This was such an awesome video! I am putting in a drip irrigation system for the first time this year and was really stumped as to how to run it back to my garden which is at the end of my lot. The PVC pipe idea I'll definitely be doing. Thanks for breaking it down and demystifying it all!

I had a more expensive programmable timer that cracked after one season because it was first in line from the faucet. All that constant pressure took its toll. I didn't catch if you said what state you are gardening in, but my experience here in Texas is that the emitters attached to 1/4 lines can blow off the hose barbs when the temperature gets way up. I used small wire to act as hose clamps before giving up on that method entirely. Your emitters in 1/2" line is much better. DIG makes a product called Dripline where the emitters are part of the hose, but again it is 1/4" line and that softens up a lot in the heat. I would still wire clamp them at the barbs. Covering the lines with mulch will also keep the joints and lines a little cooler, and help conserve water. Thanks for a great video.
I am in Oregon. Thanks for the information.
Thanks so much for this video. Excellently done. Clearly you have been doing this for a while... You’ve saved us newbies a lot of headaches!
You're very welcome!
well done ! You gave pretty simple and easily followed examples , You even nailed all my questions and this was my first video on the topic , I usually end up wasting my whole day or even week trying to get specific answers and good examples ,you saved me a lot of aggravation Thanks ,
Top notch tutorial...no reason to buy a kit with unneeded compnents. Also offers alternatives to the standard installation. Thanks...great job!
I am in the process of building raised beds in my greenhouse with a drip system. This was really helpful and will be looking at adopting some of the tips you have shown.
excellent video. I have been reluctant to get a drip irrigation because it appeared to be too complicated. you have just clarified it all for me. THANK YOU. Gonna get mine this weekend
Hey first off great tips on setting up an irrigation system. My garden has a really cheap drip running through very little of the garden. I didn't think it was going to work, but by covering the soil with wood chips and bark the water didn't evaporate and the water seems to spread to the entire garden. So I ended up covering about 2 square feet for every 1 foot of pipe and it worked great and saved me LOTS of time from watering the garden with a hose.
I use the 1/4 inch tubing, but will try the flag emitters after watching your video. One thing I do that is helpful when working with any drip tubing - 1/2 inch or 1/2 - I bring a thermos of hot water to put the end of the tube in for about 15 seconds and then any tubing will connect to an adapter or connector with ease.
Wow!, Thank you so much for the time and energy put in to explain the installation of drip irrigation and explaining your experiences on advantages and disadvantages. Thanks a lot 🙏
very well done. very informative and nicely presented. as Nathan says "you are an intelligent yet humble presenter."
Recommend your filter is the first thing to keep dirt and gunk from getting in your timer and pressure regulator (keep em clean, they last longer). I'm not sure if the timer would be affected by putting the pressure regulator before it, it may affect the run times, but if not would keep the pressure regular for it too, smother operation and longer lasting. Great info, thank you.
I use the orbit 24.75 timer which allows time and how many days and have never had a problem. Take off in winter as he says. Very reliable.
Listen you did a good job doing the drip system and explaining it those that criticize are the ones that can't make what you did so good job
Thanks
This is the best video the I've seen for raise beds, and the right way, (with a little bit of flexability) thanks so much!
You're so welcome!
Duh!! I've been using a drip system for several years and love it. However, until I saw your video it never occurred to me that I could put drippers in the 1/2 inch hose - instead I used the 1/4 in feeds to water my plants. Your approach makes much more sense. Thanks.
This will be perfect for to beat Heat this summer for my watermelon hills. Watermelons need so much water I don't want to have to think about it I can set it and forget it. Thank you for such a detailed video. Cant wait to customize to my garden. After watching i think id like this through out the rest of my garden.
Sounds great! Have fun
Update! Set up drip lines for 4 different sections of my Garden i absolutely love the dripline. Very easy to do i also bought a auto timer.
Very nice presentation that is both concise and comprehensive.
Really well done! Good sound and video; very clear. It needs to be as long as it is; the systems have a lot of parts and many possible configurations. I have read the instructions a dozen times for drip and there is nothing like seeing a system being set up. I am emboldened to put my system(s) together this week.Thank you for taking the time to make this video available to us all.
Thank you so much for your extensive detail on your drip project. Planning on setting up drip for next year. I particularly like the rigid pvc feed underground to the beds. You have given me much to think about for the project.
Love it....installed one at my house in the flowerbeds and i love the way you show how to properly install them. Thanks
You're welcome.
Thanks again for your helpful training. I purchased most of the items shown in your video today. I know amazon loves me and the shipping people not as fond with their new work load increase. I said hey more job security the carrier complained about the weight. Anyhow just works better to order than driving to a store sometimes it wasn’t always like this back in the day was more driving and work on the consumer. Anyways I even purchased the grapevine arbor to go with my grape and other citrus trees 🌲. Well I’m good at the present just waiting on 10 foot ladder to finish installing harbor freight greenhouse. Thanks again for the tips~
Thank you for explaining how and why to use different set ups. I feel like I can actually put this together myself.

ow my god sir.. you're amazing.. now I have understood how this dripping system works.. I still need to study the water pressure, amount of water requirement, the pump water discharge requirement.. the calculations..
Bravo sir! I was searching for information about this topic and you have answered every single one of my questions. Very well done, all around because I believe I have uncovered a trove of knowledge. Thank you!
I think ! it is a simple way to install our drip system! thanks sir I get more knowledge from this video...Keep it up....SIR
I'm not the creator of the video, but I just bought everything he shows here at Home Depot. There's an aisle for "Irrigation" and everything except the PVC and the Y-splitter were there. PVC was in the next aisle over and the splitter was in the garden department. My advice: put the system he describes in the very beginning of the video together while you're at the store. I ended up needing an extra connector between the timer and the pressure regulator.
Thanks for taking the time to show this - I'm a newbie and this tells me exactly what I need to do. Really appreciate you taking this time
I just found this looking to set up my irrigation as a new Gardner. Very well explained and demonstrated!! Super helpful! Thank you. Just liked and subscribed
Thanks
Awesome Man. I am going to follow your system for my garden. You have of the best videos I have seen on youtube. Thanks
Love this & I love your attitude. No worrying about the dogmatic drip system critics!
Great info. You convinced me to go this route. I’m designing my first drip system for raised beds, mulched flower beds, and fruit trees. Thanks 😊🙏👍. Gonna start with my raised beds to get the hang of it.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing! I learned a lot as I now have my wife's blessing to engineer an irrigation system for the garden.
Thanks for the vid. I'm starting a garden of vegetables for the first time and I appreciate all the help I can get, but I found yours especially useful, so thanks. One thing that irritates me though is that I didn't watch this before I already purchased my 1/4" drip system! Oh well, guess I'll upgrade.
Great video, i use this system but i use is a soaker hoses all throughout my garden. Use prograble timers what i will use is two things water reduce and filter.
👍
Such comprehensive and easy to apply tips for irrigation. Thank you!
You are very welcome
Great video! Thank you. I bet you never expected it to reach 1,500,000 views--congrats!
Thanks
I agree with previous posts, excellent commentary, clear instruction. THANK YOU!
Me too
Thanks for info. I had 1/2 inch line run underground by a sprinkler company It has been in ground since 1985 and that part is fine.No filter, wish they would have put one in. I don't think I can get one in the box for the zone without digging the box out & I don't think it will fit. Laser drip lines were run in areas & pinned down, they will run 16 ft.each, You are right about dirt or bugs and cleaning them.
This was such an awesome video!
I am putting in a drip irrigation system for the first time this year and was really stumped as to how to run it back to my garden which is at the end of my lot.
The PVC pipe idea I'll definitely be doing.
Thanks for breaking it down and demystifying it all!
You're welcome. Glad it will help. :-)
Thank you so much for the video. U saved me big bucks. And saved my plants during vacation.
Great video, you explained it very well, specially for new people like me!
Nice job explaining, very clear. You be a good teacher.
Thanks
very well put together video, very informative and answers technical questions with a straightforward approach.
