I have raised beds 14’ X 4’. One of my set ups has four of these beds connected end to end. I was thinking of running just one large tube down the middle and branching to either side with the 1/4” tubing. Is that ok? Also, will it be ok to just lay the bigger tubing over the 3 dividers in this big bed? Linda Harrison (Tennessee)

this is what I was looking for. Thank you for educating some of us who are new to the dripping system
All the praise for your video is well-deserved. I found the topic overwhelming until I watched it. I was obviously over-thinking things – you cut through all the fancy stuff and explained clearly what I needed to know. Thank you.
How do you know what diameter for the main line ? Does it determine how many feet of line you have ?
Thanks for the video. Great info. Not a fan of the background music though lol. Your content is great I think you don’t need that bg music. It’s very distracting
Thank you so much for this clear, easy to follow, tutorial. It's been the best one I've seen!
What garden covers are you using ?
Thanks for this great detailed explanation of a drip system. Can I ask you where you purchased the screen for your garden? Not sure if screen is correct word for those sun protectors on the PVC frame. Thanks so much.
I would highly recommend a back flow preventer at the timer.
Nice, clear video for setting up a simple drip system. I wonder, though, if it would be better to install the pressure regulator between the faucet and the timer instead of between the timer and the drip-tube connector. My Rainbird timers say to turn the water spigot on only one-quarter turn in order to not damage the timer. By placing the pressure regulator between the spigot and timer, you could avoid accidently damaging the timer from too much pressure, while still keeping your tube fittings from getting blown off due to to much pressure.
Excellent video! I recently planted 20 blue point junipers (10 gal. size), and I was considering a soaker hose setup. Drip seems the best way to go, though. A soaker would water places where I don't actually want water. Any thoughts on which size drip emitters to use and how long to water for? Thanks again!
😀
Very very helpful!!!!!
The best demonstration and teaching. Excellent Job. Thank you!

video was cool though. thank you
Be nice if automater watering systems actually continued to work, but none of those I’ve tried, ever do, due to the calcium salts in my water supply. Which is virtually impossible to remove.
I rototill my garden in the spring. Can I easily remove and reinstall the drip system so I can rototill?
I've been confused by others on how to install a drip irrigation system but yours was pretty straight forward and easy to understand and follow. Definitely on of the tops.
Your shade cloth is the same as nurseries, tell us about how to do that please
This video is a god send, answering all the right stuff. Can anyone tell me how long the batteries last on average for something like this? If it were just a small veggie garden giving a small water for a few minutes twice a day? Just wondering if its a couple weeks thing or like once a year. Cheers!
Thank you! Very informative!
AWESOME video!!
