Evan, why did you disappoint us. We are waiting for the hay cutting. Just knew it would be the next video. Anyway your garden is beautiful,and so clean.No weeds ,that means less work for you. Come on now, get that hay taken care of. Lol
It is hot enough to do two cycles a day. One in early am and another about 1pm. I learned not to water in late pm as that is mot when plants need it. Late pm watering results in root rot, mildew, mold fungi and poor plant health. I hardened from age 6 on the farm until age 60. Loved my gardens and sure enjoy watching yours grow.
I have raised beds and I want drip irrigation because it’s so hot here and I know they will dry out. Maybe I can get someone to put it in for me. It is amazing how you can do all those different projects and they work great. I love watching your videos because I learn a lot. Keep making videos and I will keep watching. It is so humid and the heat index here in Alabama is 98. Keep cool and don’t get too hot. Stay safe.
When you started putting the black tubing out, I thought, why is he laying it outside of the raised bed? Wow, what a set up. So much work! But I guess you do not have to water for hours. Although I always liked to go to my allotment and water, it is very relaxing, after work. But you also have the animals to look after so an automatic system makes sense.
Looks great evan. A way to make disconnecting the hose from the system even quicker would be to get quick connect pieces for the hoses. Love the garden.
Can’t believe how fast the plants are growing. The laying out of this project looked like a nightmare but well worth the time considering how long you will be able to use it.
i use a float valve system, the pressure is released when the sponge dries out on a float valve, once it lifts up enough it releases the water over the plants in need of water, then shuts off once wet enough and heavy enough to close the valve again...
Technically, the emitters have a pressure range for proper function, and elevation changes add or remove head. But it appears you are within 3’ vertical either way from your regulator. If it is a 15 psi regulator, 3’ is about 1.5 psi more on the lower end and less on the upper. It appears the upper feeds the inner raised beds and the flat rows. You’re probably ok, but if it appears that upper raised bed is too dry and you can’t compensate with emitters, you could put in a Tee above your regulator and branch off to a second section and install another regulator for that. I’m guessing the aggregate flow rate is low enough that dynamic (friction) head loss won’t be much of an issue, but flow might add up more than I figure. How many 1 gph emitters are running at once? There are 1/2” main lines (also with 1/2” sub lines) and 1/4” sub lines, so watching your max flow might be important. All easily solvable. Just watch that flow at the end is as expected, especially on the 1/4” runs. Those labyrinth emitters that the 1/4” line was extruded around are reasonably pressure compensated, but there are limits. Nice setup, and you’re keeping it much neater and clamped in place much better than I did on my home flower beds. Our research drip irrigation system and our center pivots were much higher quality than my home one! Good job.
Hey, I started putting down the landscape fabric today. Im putting in the staples about every 18" - 24" . Does that sound about right? Thanks for the videos. Very helpful.
@@CountryViewAcres I tilled it. Then realized it was too loose for staples. Ran the riding mower over it. Used the mower deck to level it too. Worked well.
Excellent video. Appreciate the in-depth instructions and what to expect for simple issues which are. I, too, used to say "put in" all the time until someone suggested I say "install" instead.
Hi from Australia. Love your channel, keep up the good work. I've been meaning to ask, have you thought about putting a hydroelectric system on the outlet of the pond overflow? You would get free electricity s long is the water is flowing
Love you channel i watch it everyday.
Hey Evan, what a great looking garden, not a weed to be seen. The irrigation set-up, makes it almost maintenance free. Nice!!!
beautiful garden set up
Beautiful garden
Hi..... Evan, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🎥👍👍👍
You are such a good mechanical engineer! My dad was an ME. Both of my husbands were MEs. I have an honorary degree in "go for"....!
I’m really enjoying watching the garden grow. You put so much hard work into your property and it shows.🌻
Evan, why did you disappoint us. We are waiting for the hay cutting. Just knew it would be the next video. Anyway your garden is beautiful,and so clean.No weeds ,that means less work for you. Come on now, get that hay taken care of. Lol
It rained, so hay cutting will hopefully be soin.

Beautiful garden, functional as well decorative.
Glad you made a comment about your legs before I did!
Thanks for the video Evan, go have a beer!

Nice garden.
Idea...Attach the short green hose to the top of the post across from the water pipe and then you can run UNDER it with the lawn mower.
Your garden looks great. That is the way to do it.
The garden is looking really good, good job, Evan.
Good job Evan, like the way you have it laid out. Can’t wait to see the garden in full bloom, looks so great now. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.

Good for you Evan👍 Airate dem legs😃🦵🌞
Love how you do everything so precisely , your garden is beautiful.
Drip irrigation is such a time saver. Garden is looking great! Don't worry about your legs - late spring is 'pasty white leg' season. :)
Awesome method, I'll have to do the same
Very nice!
Thx again
Garden is beautiful! Y'all do a great job!
Beautiful well designed garden Evan ❣️👌👍
Awesome setup for your gardening. Surely beats water manually everyday.
Looks great evan. A way to make disconnecting the hose from the system even quicker would be to get quick connect pieces for the hoses. Love the garden.
Darn, I thought my raised beds were doing great till I seen yours. Great looking garden.

Wow beautiful garden

Awesome
You're so funny... Blinding us with your white legs... 😄 Gotta start somewhere 👍👌❣️
I love your garden set up. How did you come up with that style for an idea?
Could you tell me where you found the timer please? Really enjoy your videos.😃👍
I would like to try the drip system
I saw the Blog where your field was sprayed with Roundup, I just hope your patience is better than mine. I can't blame you for being pissed!
better late then never..it will all come together in time..live and learn first :)
I had to laugh when that water almost got you. You moved fast, but you would have gotten cooled off. Enjoyed the drippers.
What happen to bailing hay?
It rained.

Evan, is your water from a well or from city water main. Could you not pump it from the pond, certainly have more nutrients from the pond.
One day I will probably irrigate from the pond. But it is not in the budget this year.
Hey, I started putting down the landscape fabric today. Im putting in the staples about every 18" - 24" . Does that sound about right? Thanks for the videos. Very helpful.
As long as the soil isn't loose and is firm. The staples every 2 to 3 feet will be ok.

Get those winter legs out haha don't want florescent milk legs 😵😂

😍😍😍😍
Good job sir :D
I just started watching your channel. My wife wants to know what is in the round containers that are stacked up ?
That is a greenstalk vertical garden planter.
What type of plants are in the vertical stack?
Looks like you need to fix your water slicker to a post or something else, looks a little wobbly
😊❤️
👍
I would of pumped water up from the lake.
Excellent video. Appreciate the in-depth instructions and what to expect for simple issues which are. I, too, used to say "put in" all the time until someone suggested I say "install" instead.
I didn't get around to it, nor the fish!!!
what state are you in?
Illinois, southeastern part near indiana.
Hi from Australia. Love your channel, keep up the good work.

After a severe sunburn and sun poisoning, my legs have not seen the sun since 1983. Talk about white?????
Thx
