I have been researching this system for over a year and your video is the best at explaining the header system that attaches to the timer. I didn’t know that you could buy it all put together. Thank you so much for this information.
So glad to know that you needed a long bit of tubing for your yard. Literally answered my question as it popped into my head. ty.
Thank you so much for all your time and effort to put this together and the blog post. I have been wanting to do this for years and you just made it so easy for me! Just ordered everything from your links!
Really great video! Thank you so much for taking the time to make it. As someone with zero experience setting up a drip system, it hits everything I need to do! Thank you.
Omg thank you!! I’ve put off putting in a drip line for years because it was so confusing. And this video helps so much!!
Your videos are always so helpful!
I would be interested in a winterizing video. There are not many northern gardeners doing drip irrigation. Thank you. 🎉
I swear TH-cam algo reads my mind. I was just thinking about this and how I should set up a splitter this spring in MN for my growing season. I'm so excited for spring!!!
This is so helpful! I have some trees that need help and this makes so much sense!
Beautifully explained! Thank you!
Fantastic video, I've been wanting to set up an irrigation system for a long time but have been intimidated by the process but this video was easy to follow so I'll give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for this video. I've got everything ordered and am excited to finally get it done.
What a fantastic demonstration and explanation! Thank you. Much appreciate your listing of the materials too!
SUPERB tutorial in every way. Well done and thank you!!
After watching your video, you inspired me to give it a try. 🙏🤞🤞
Wow, these systems have certainly improved since the 90s.
Thank you so much for this step by step setup drip irrigation system.
Sooo helpful! I have had the timer here on hand and been overwhelmed with how to use it… now I’m embarrassed but motivated to go tackle it! Thank you!
Excellent video. I'm more confident in setting up my system now.
This is very informative ! Thank you so much. I hope it is as easy as you have made it to look because I am getting this done at my parents this summer LOL
Superb explanation - Thank You👌👌👏👏
excellent, helpful video!
Finally an explanation I get
Going to use your list this weekend
I second that! I've watched so many videos that were just very confusing.
Thank you!!love your explanation.
Thankyou for the detailed video.
Very helpful. Thank you.
I love my drip system! It was a game changer as far as keeping my plants from stressing out in the height of the summer heat. Set that timer and all you have to do is make sure it's working like it should.
what things do you do in order to ensure things are working properly? I am not in this game yet but I can imagine how much time this saves!
How do you know how much your plants need?
Your end piece on your drip tape may pop off with how you have it. Flip it around to where the narrow end is facing the tape and the wider end is down where the tape was cut (if that makes sense). Feed your drip tape through the end piece, push the end piece up out of the way, fold your drip tape about 3 or 4 times (small folds), then pull that end piece down over the folded drip tape. Hope this helps!
Thank you for a great video!
Great video
DripIrrigation ist as you say "so easy" ! GameChanger in our Garden . In Germany we had almost 3 Month now rain ! You gain constant Irrigation with maybe 50% less Waterusage. Hokaido Pumpkin grow with Dripirrigation so much better , also the Wood Chips are amazing in Kombination , soil is so much better .
Thank you, putting this project off as there are tons of other needy projects to get done on the home stead. Just wanted to be TOLD how to get er done.
My pleasure! We can totally relate 😂
Thank you!
Awesome video, so very clear to understand.
Question the drip tape line with the tiny holes that water your plants, can you control where you only want the water to come out at on your plants around your garden trees, like can you plug up the tiny holes where their is not plant or tree so water is not being wasted, or do you just only add where you want the drip tape to be then you add the other line to connect that's not a drip line and so on, I hope you understand what I'm trying to say and convey thanks alot.
Love it! What weeding tool do you like?
I would love to see the weeding tool you speak of. I’ve given up on pulling weeds and feel so defeated 😅
Can-do!
Hi. A very good tutorial. Will be trying to do this next year. Question. As I’m watching you attach the distribution hose to the filter/pressure system I don’t see a hose clamp or anything to keep it together (3:38). Can you clarify?
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for this info. I would love to add this to my backyard. Where my faucet is at its all cement. How would I hide all the tubing. I know once I get to the grass I can hide it but where the cement is at is the hard part.
My vegetable garden is on a slope with the water source half way down the slope. Do I need to consider that incline when I set up my drip system?
Can you put drip holes directly into the distribution tube?
This is a great solution.. But what if you have raised beds?
So you just have one connector from distribution tubing to the drip tape? What about other rows? Are you using connectors between the drip tape?
when using a drip are you required to use a pressure regulator?
Can you bury the hose a little bit do you don’t see it? Or better to just cover with mulch? I live in Colo and it gets cold in the winter, do I need to pull it out first winter?
Do you have any to replace the drip tape every year? I’m confused based on some posts online.
Great video. Just one question. How will you handle crop rotation. Different crops are spaced at different intervals so from year to year won't you have to move or adjust the lines? Of can you plug old holes to allow adjusting the spacing without replacing or moving lines?
same question
The lines are pretty versatile and we haven’t had to change them for different crops so far. However, if we do want to make the watering more targeted for specific crops, we’ll probably just unhook the line for the row we want to change, and swap it out for a different one.
Do you prefer this or a wicking/self watering raised bed??
Question???
Love the step by step instructions, but struggling with connecting black distribution hose to connector kit..
does not seem to pop on like it does in your video the end piece of that connector kit is just too big. What am i missing?
How long does the batteries last you?
Thank you
Light bulb moment here... To use AUTO, you have to run the program first 😁 The system will shut off afterwards, then it's set for whatever times or days you have set it to.
Where I can get this drip system kit
O, I'm again motivated to try setting up a drip system. So, just to confirm, I searched and looks like a "hose bib" is the faucet that comes out of the house, is that right?
Yes. A plumber would call it a hose bib. Most of us know it as a faucet.
My connection kit keeps leaking, I tried putting some plumbers tape over the threads and still no luck. Any advice?
Question. So do you pull all of this up at the end of the season when you till? Or do you not till? (aside from the run out to the garden that is)
No till is the way to go. Lasagna gardening style 😎
Great video! How long do you leave the drip on each day?
I was wondering the same thing!
Me too
I’m sorry if this is a weird question but do you leave the hose bib ‘on’ 24/7 and let the time manage the flow of water? Does that impact the internal water pipes at all? If the hose bib is on and the timer keep the water from flowing, does that impact your water bill?
We leave the water on 24/7. The timer manages the flow.
i have the exact same system took me to much time to find the pieces it kinds of pricy but not a can enjoy my flowers without worrying about watering 😂
why did you decide to not go underground?
much less money to buy from dripdepot … your video is informative but you should really have a pressure regulator; it’s probably not a problem for you because of the length of your mainline tubing/GPM/&distance to your garden.
She said the connection kit has a pressure regulator in it. 2:50 segment.
With a black hose you will be putting boiling hot water on your plants when your timer comes on.
Haha, nah. 2:30 👍
That is why she waters at 4am when hoses are COOL. Listen to the video!

I'm in Texas and have a dark green hose in my back yard.
Before I change my chicken bulk water supply to the 5 gallon bucket with the little cups. The mosquitoe larva were thick in their water before they drank ¾ of the water.
I would turn the water on and flood bulk water'er and the water was hot enough to kill the mosquitoes instantly!
A watering system like this would do best at 10 or 11 during the night!
ELI5 in video form. 😂
Personally, I miss seeing your beautiful face during the video!
That’s kind, thanks! I’ll still hop on occasionally. I’m just more interested in putting out instructional material than making it about “me”, if that makes sense. ☺️
@@OakAbode Maybe a little more info...
I'm the guy who hates the drive through, won't use the kiosk to order food. So I enjoy talking to or watching individuals.
Your very enjoyable to watch because you can see your passion for what your talking about...except when your pruning trees! 😉
Thanks for taking the time to reply!
Instead off having tube down both sides, off setting every second row of holes so you reduce poosibility of hydrophobic soils occurring is useful
Drip tape?!?!
Expensive lol
