      I made a video similar to this one, that explains the accessories commonly used for building a drip irrigation system. For beginning "irrigationists", this video sums it up well. Skip to 2:48 in this video th-cam.com/video/j-j2J9lL_Sc/w-d-xo.html.

    I miss those "getting off track minutes" viewers are forced to sit through as the "expert" drones on about all the possible scenarios that might come up found in all the other DYI video's. No wait, no I don't. Outstanding vid!

Appreciated how multiple scenarios were covered such as goof holes, containers, winterizing the system etc. thank you for the attention to detail!

    thank you! probably the easiest, simplest video on drip irrigation I've seen yet. I avoided drip irrigation for a long time because it used to be more expensive. I'm learning that it's not as expensive anymore and so I'm ready to jump in. Only, I got stopped up at anything more than tubes, connectors and emitters. Thank you for sharing the basics for this beginner at DI.

    Like many others said, thanks for a succinct video. The post production must have taken lots of time. I’ve been using drip systems for a long time, and am on our 3rd house where I’ve retrofitted the zone sprinkler system for drip. I love the idea of going up through the bottom of the planter. Now I know what I’ll be doing this week.

I’m doing this also, and will have the main hose bib connections mounted to a plywood board as a base to keep things from moving around. The remote connection protects against big leaks at the house foundation.

    Hi
    I been working with drip irrigation for the past 10 years and on my experience is always convenient to re connect the 1/4 inch tecline. When is terminated with a plug it will loose pressure and or may not get any water to the end of the line but if you reconnect to the main 1/2” or bigger line the pressure will be more effective and more continuous.

      For a home project make sure you use hunter or rain bird for your water valves they are reliable. Hope this helps. Stay safe, God bless.
