Cool. Ive used soaker hoses for decades
Maybe I missed it but what would be a basic irrigation schedule with this system? Frequency and duration? Thx 🙏
I was browsing on youtube and thought, this guy is pretty good, and even though you only talked about one system, it helped me realize soacker hoses need to come back always for a thorough watering. Thanks Kyle!
Great video. I have 2 areas that I would like to set up with automatic irrigation. The trouble is the water source, it is somewhat of a distance to the area, one would be crossing our driveway to get to the water source. What are your suggestions for this issue?
I tried soaker hose a couple of years ago, but it ended up being a big waste of water which equates to dollars. Most of the plants in my garden were spaced 16 to 24 in apart. The soaker hose of course watered the plants, but in order to get enough water to the plants that they wouldn't die, it cost me an additional $300 the first month. A lot of water was wasted and the plants didn't look that good. The following year I decided to go with a drip system, which puts the water directly at the roots and nowhere else. Big dollar savings! Soaker hose works good if you have small plants a bunch together but otherwise not so much. Just my opinion based on experience.
Great job
Great Video I know how to do my garden now.
thanks
Nice idea but this wouldn't work for a lawn though hey?
I like those polyhose press-in fittings, but I can't find these at Lowes.. where did you get them?
Could you tell me what that tee is called you connected to the valve. The one with two push to fit connectors
I had to look twice I thought you were Adam Sandler!!

If she did high school physics, when he was 16 your physics teacher show to warm water at 30° C, falling under the vacuum of more water driven vacuum pump.
This is very interesting, as boiled water loses all salts and contaminants like a heavy metals. As it was totally pure water vapour. Dropping a weighted snorkel into the sea will turn the sore water into fresh drinking water. Ideal for irrigation all watering animals. Or drinking!
Hi , I clicked on the supplies you used but there’s so many . Can someone please tell me which ones he used specifically? I will gladly appreciate it , just a nanny trying to keep the babies garden alive , without watering everyday .
Concise, short and informative! Thank you!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Straight instructions, to the point, no ego, no endorsements.
@urbanfarmstead, this is a great video! Thank you for being so thorough in your explanations! I love your advices! I'm a newbie in gardening and my system has a natural stream source, which is unreliable. Sometimes I may accidentally run out of water. Are there any caveats when building an automatic irrigation system with unreliable sources? What may break if the cycle has to release water, but there is no water in the tap? Final question, what is the difference when having the Y connector versus an open ending?
Hi. This is Alexi at INKBIRD. We have a Smart Sprinkler Controller and want to share it with you. How can I contact you? Looking forward to your reply. Cheers!
Fantastic instruction video with small bits of info to keep newbies out of easy to avoid hang ups. 10/10 man. Really good job.
My challenge is my spigot is over a concrete patio. I'll have to hire a plumber to install a new spigot over the beds and then bury them to the back of my yard where the raised beds are. I truly need to layout my landscape design to be more effective.
Nice video! Can this soaker hose be buried in the soil? Thanks!
Excellent!,👌😉
Thanks! That helps!
Do you need to pull your soaker hose out during the winter time?
I'm starting a waterer this season and hopefully some can answer this question cause I've never done the automatic watering. How long do you set it to water the plants for?
May I have permission to share this excellent video with San Mateo/San Francisco UC Master Gardeners in our weekly, internal newsletter?
