perfect! thank you! can you link to some of the hose outlets you showed?
I was impatient to do this so I bought a kit at a local hardware store and I wish I would have ordered the kit you recommended because the tubing is so hard that it hurt my fingers. I had to take a break today and will try again tomorrow, I'm hoping the heat from the sun will soften it a bit to make it easier to work with.
Otherwise pretty easy to set up, I look forward to not watering container plants anymore 🙂
hey Laura! What time of day is best to water plants (mid day? am? pm?) And how long do you start with a 5 gal zucchini container?
Does the hose freeze in the winter? I’m based on Long Island NY.
She’s awesome!
Amazing.
Was looking for a simple, straightforward explanation of this stuff. Your video was perfect! Thanks!
Do you have a solution for a water source if you don't have a pipe with water available? Like on a porch. I think it would be interesting to show how something could be set up
Thanks so much for this.
It is extremely helpful.
Excellent job conveying a lot of great information in a short amount of time. Nice work. Thanks.
Do you have a link to your timer?
Wow you speak so fast i cant follow…not trying to be mean
I love this and want to install it. However, I already have a timer on my faucet for my lawn. I have three hoses going in different directions. How can I add another timer for the drip system??
WiFi enabled? Sold! Lol. Thanks for the straight forward explanation and share.
Thank you! Your video is super helpful
For simple hanging basket, how much water is needed per day, and are you running it 2x per day, to split the total or once per day?
Where can you get more stakes? I can order other supplies from company but not stakes.
Thank you! Great to know there’s more flexible tubbing and there’s an efficient way to save water that doesn’t have to be ugly! Freedom here we come!;)
No pressure reducer?
You have made this drip irrigation system process so easy to understand. Thank you so much for all your knowledge.
Thank you for posting this video. Last summer I paid $200 to have a system run in my yard. It was not done right, and my dog I had at the time, tore it all up. It looks pretty easy. Wish me luck.
if the hose goes through the bottom, will it be clogged by the weight of container?
Where are the links she mentioned?
Here's an idea, show how you hook up the irrigation tubes to the water supply. If you leave that part out, the video is useless.
So what do you do when you want to use a regular hose from the same source? Do you have one of those adaptors to add a separate spigot?
I just started gardening this year and I'm doing this next year! So much easier
Great tutorial, I am going to start my project this weekend…depending if I can find the PW kit. I love their soil…hope I can find a kit! 🙂
For those of us using the stiffer black tubing, I found that pre-warming the end of the tube by sticking it in hot water for several seconds makes it quite easy to insert the connectors or emitters. You still have to wiggle it back and forth while applying pressure, but it is so much easier on my hands. I put hot tap water in an insulated water bottle; convenient for plantings not close to the house.
