Danny thank you for your tutorial video on laying drip tape with the drip tape layer from HOSS GARDEN & TOOLS. I am in the process of buying two of their small garden kits that are on sale. I'm sure it will be much appreciated when it comes time to install the drip tape. Hoping the Lord will bless you and Wanda with a very successful garden this year but at the same time not leave you completely wore out.... LOL.
Ingenious way to roll out the plastic. I'm all for taking the stress off the joints..it sounded like somebody short & cute 🐶 was in his pen crying for attention.😃
Danny. On your harrow hang a fairly heavy pipe on chains down just to were you would want the top of your row. Then again with chain put on on each end and mount them to your harrow just enough that as you pull foward the pipe will drag back a few inches behind you. (Sorta like alot of people wount eir mailboxes to a pole) that will save you needing to rake the top flat. Also have a way to eliminate you needing the hoss to open your row at the same pass with the harrow
So excited about this new project. I am anxious to see the results. Hopefully, I can incorporate a drip system into my garden next year if I can fit it into my budget.
Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and suffer through the payments LOL they don't last long and they'll be over soon. In the long run you'll be glad you did!! Now that's just my opinion brother or sister and it's just one opinion.... here is hoping that you have great success!!!
Hello great watering system.I read from Hoss tools comment that the tape is burried,and this is the way Farmer's have always done it.I just learned something new,and this is fantastic.Looking forward to seeing how you plant here,and what Fall crops you will be planting.Let me guess some sweet potato slips,or red potato's,and maybe some broccoli,cabbage,and English pea's.Lot's of good space to plant in you all's Back To,The Old Way's,And Day's Garden.Has a nice ring to it I think.Be well you all.Have fun making,and cooking you all's sugar cane syrup.Watch out Amanda up in that tractor bucket.And don't get dizzy on the lawn mower going around and around in circles.LOL.What a nice time you,and your cute Daughter will have making sugar cane.Bundle up out there everyone.Be well you all.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡.......
Could you tell me the name of the black row cover material you used and how thick it is? All i can find is very then and doesn't last very long. Thank you for all your videos and great information.
Danny, I found your latest project here to be of potential use for me. I watched intently. I'm not sure if you remember me, but I'm in a low desert in S. Calif. What you're doing seems to be the optimal for someone conserving water. I haven't invested my time and resources to do all you're doing, but have considered it. I can't wait to see how this experiment works over the next year. I use that Big Box spaghetti drip line at times, but find it is so hard on the hands to install all the little pieces. Then at the end of the season such a disappointment to pull all the install which had taken a lot of work. Someone gave me a roll of the drip tape, but I don't know how to use it. You make it look so easy. Also, I use 6"OC with .5gph, pinned to the surface and topped with compost. That works well for onions, sweet potatoes, and lettuces. I tried 12"OC and it doesn't get enough water into my garden. It's better for bushes and trees in landscaping.... at least for me in a place where rain is rare. But... you're climate is much different than mine and you may be planting different crops. I hope the best for you in this experiment and look forward to learning with you. I may try incorporating some of these techniques next Spring. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking the time to do this video about irrigation. I have been researching on this irrigation subject and so far, still have not found the answer to my question of whether to bury or not. I see that you buried it. It's been 4 years now. Not sure if you did a follow up video on this but I like to know what are the pros and cons....especially the buried or not part. If buried then how do you know if it's not working. If laying on top of soil then will the weather like wind flopping it around, or simply been out of the weather will make the life span shorter? Thank you.
Danny I know you have a fancy tool there but I have been using drip tape for 10+ years and I can promise you the last thing that you want to do to drip tape is bury it. The farmers do it like that but they replace it every time they plant. The tape gets clogged easily and you have to use a tractor to pull it out which ruins the tape. It also gets leaks that you have to cut the line and put in a connector. That will be a herculean task when you have it buried and covered with ground cover. The farmers don't worry about leaks as they have giant commercial wells and an over wet or washed out place doesn't make much difference in a huge field. I would suggest the tape being the last thing you install after you plant. On top where it will be easy to roll up and reuse or repair. Also you can buy the big rolls and save money
Drip tape is supposed to be buried. That is the intended purpose because it works so much better that way. Talk to any drip tape manufacturer and they will tell you the same.
Yes if you want to put new tape down every time you plant like the farmers do. As a homesteader I personally can't afford that option. I am lucky to be able to afford the initial purchase let alone doing it for every planting.
You don't have to install new tape each time. You can leave the tape connected at the mainline, pull it up, cultivate the area, and put it right back down. We grow food year round and reuse drip tape many times throughout the year. Here's a video that shows how easy it is: th-cam.com/video/dKs0bFNcsf8/w-d-xo.html
Sir I will say no more I am not a beginner with drip tape but I understand I do not wish to cast a negative light on your tool only to comment what years of experience have taught me. If I had your tool I would use it to dig in at the end of the row to hold the roll. I had to build a rig to do that
Great job interested to see next video in the process...how long does this type of process take? I’m just trying to build good soil....have been for the last 5 yrs...I call it rock dirt...
I’m very interested in this method. Would you mind sharing the expense of what something like this would cost? Also, I hope you do a follow up video. I would like to know its efficiency....it’s pros and cons. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, everyone is invited to the Deep South Homestead Gathering on March 9th 2019 in Wiggins, MS 39577 There are 2 Wiggins in MS. Join our Facebook group for more info as it becomes available and watch our Saturday Night Live show. Facebook group is Deep South Homestead Gathering Place Thanks and we look forward to meeting you.
I bought drip tape over a year ago. It saves so much time. We can turn the water on to my garden area and then water everything else by hand. By the time the hand watering is done the garden is well watered too. My son just puts it on top of the ground since I don't have a hoss tool to bury it. Is this not as good of a way to do it as you did yours?

Yeah we have to leave him penned up while we are planting or getting ready to plant.
Your content and delivery are so wonderful and relaxing.
You're going to love it Danny. Much less work. Hope the rains participate. Blessing to you.

Looks like it’s going to work well for you!
finally got the Cherokee pumpkin seeds ordered. hope they are all you guys claim. either way I will enjoy them. thank you.
Awesome project.
love the torch trick thanks danny..
Could you tell me the name of the black row cover material you used and how thick it is? All i can find is very then and doesn't last very long. Thank you for all your videos and great information.
That is some beautiful dark soil. That is a neat drip tape system there, so cool looking. Nice job on the row covers. Good job! Thank you for sharing!

I almost couldn't watch the video after the drip tape knowing the aggravation you will face. I am glad that you only did a small space

Getting my chores ready for me? Oh to plant in ground. ❤
We are plowing up an acre for you to plant. LOL
@@DeepSouthHomestead alright! Time to get dirty!
nice deep soil you have.
Great job interested to see next video in the process...how long does this type of process take? I’m just trying to build good soil....have been for the last 5 yrs...I call it rock dirt...
I'm telling y'all when the lord gives me a tractor there won't be a hungry person within 200 miles we're gonna feed em all .
Good job Danny boy .
Then we need to pray you get a tractor.
@@DeepSouthHomestead Yes sir he will deliver.
At first I thought y’all had someone helping to make the trench in the row . Then I saw Danny talking. Where’s the cover hauls y’all .lol
Danny, how did the drip tape work for you after this season? Did you have any troubles?
I’m very interested in this method. Would you mind sharing the expense of what something like this would cost? Also, I hope you do a follow up video. I would like to know its efficiency....it’s pros and cons. Thank you for sharing.
we are getting snow this weekend
Seems a little early for yall this year.
What kind of fencing (white) is around the garden?
Its an electric fence made by Gallager or Premier makes the same fence.
We were told y'all were having a gathering in March. Where can we find info on that? Is anyone invited? We are in Arkansas and are interested. Thanks!

+Deep South Homestead, Saturday night live is correct...such a laughing time when I can catch it. I love your channel.
Deep South Homestead thanks! We will check out the fb page!

Is this not as good of a way to do it as you did yours?
Theres a lot of pros and cons on which is best. Manufacture says put it under ground so we are to see how it does. Time will tell which way we choose.
@@DeepSouthHomesteadokay. Thank you very much!
Is the row cover reusable or a one time use
Its reusable formany years.
Danny is that the foundation water barrier plactic you used as a ground cover?
@@donna9384 No this is an agricultral ground cover made for this purpose.
No dig > tilling. Read the science about it.
