  1. Super helpful even 8 years on! Thanks! Last summer I swore it would be the last year that I hand watered, so I’m trying to install drip irrigation in my garden beds this year. I really appreciate all of the detail

  2. hi . thanks for sharing . very helpful. have a question, i have noticed that the water drip from my 1/4 “tube immiting 6 inches apart is so slow…. any possible cause? thanks lot for sharing

  3. Clear and concise instructions. One of the best videos that I’ve seen with ton of information. Every second of it is useful. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you so much for making and sharing.

  4. Fuck!

    Any moron can install lego like drip systems.

    Where are the videos that discuss usage?

    Type of drip device per plant? How much water? How long to leave on?

    I can figure out how to install the damned thing.

    Let’s talk about usage

  5. Hello! I was wondering why there's a whistle noise coming from my dripline, could you help? Thanks!

  6. Free fresh water for the world

    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!

    There is nothing hard about fresh water.

  7. Great video. Recommended it to a friend who has had bad luck setting up a system that was reliable. You make it so easy to understand. Thanks.

  8. I googled "drip irrigation system" and this came up.

    Solid video. Very informative for a newcomer.

  9. Great video, thank you. But don't you have to blow out the remaining water in winter?

  10. I’ve been thinking drip irrigation seemed complicated but this video laid everything out in the simplest terms. I’ll be free from torture in Texas next summer and I’m thrilled ☺️

  11. Thank you. I watched several irrigation videos bc this will be my first time trying this and your video is by far the best! Very well explained! Thank you so very much. Awesome video! Now, come help me! 😂

  12. Just wanted to say thanks for this simple to follow video. I watched several others and they made it so complicated. So thank you!

  13. When I started the video I was like there's no way drip irrigation is this easy but then I realized that sure enough it was as easy as he told me

  14. So helpful, thank you! How do you connect the water to the wooden post first? Does the faucet on the other side of the post go to the house?

  15. This is a great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it. I didn't even consider things like a pre-filter, etc. I'm sure I saved myself a lot of grief by watching this before starting my install including buying a lot of 'goof plugs'. 😁

  16. ok, my water spigot is on the house and the raised beds are on the other side of the lawn. Best advice to set this up so I do not run over the hose with the mower?

  17. He doesn’t talk about using a different pressure regulator for the emitter tubing vs the tubing that you add an emitter to.

  18. Agreed…no nonsense help plus the first video that shows remote water valve away from house an mounted to a 4×4. 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.
