Aaron Kauffman is now a drip monkey?

Thank you for your time and information!

You don’t need a heat mat to start seeds? I read you can’t use a heat mat and humidity done at the same time so how do seeds germinate? With just lights and plastic wrap?

but glad wrap and plastic cups that get chucked out are just littering the planet something that you re-use is better

Do you try to leave a half to one inch of water in the roasting pans all the time or do you let it dry out a bit 1st before adding more water? Great video. Thanks.

Your video is great. However, the background music is too loud and distracting. Thanks

I went to Lowe’s today and no one knew what I was talking about. No one in the lumber dept could recommend the right type of lumber for this project. What do you recommend?

Thanks for this easy and practical set up instructions for seed starting. I finally feel like I know what to do!!!

depends on where you live .. your in the desert , we are at 59 degrees north . big difference and costs ..

LOVE THE MUSIC!!

Hello there, how long should I leave the water in the tray?

Very helpful.

The best instructions and video from start to finish. Now I feel confident to install the system myself. Thanks.

Thanks for detailed info.

music is damn annoying

I never compost ANY tomato debris due to diseases. Great video though!

Oh man, please don't use plastic! It will trap moisture in. Your wood will rot twice faster.

EXCELLENT INTRO FOR ME, a beginner

My notes for this video. Tools needed: Hole punch that grabs onto the hose. Tube cutter. Items needed: Y-splitter for faucet. Timer. Pressure reducer. Adapter (with screw fitting preferred). Inline shutoff valves. Two sizes of tubing: large and small. Large you can choose either 1/2" or 3/8". Small is 1/4". Hose coupler connectors to connect big hose to little, one for each plant. Small T connectors if I want two hoses to come out of a hole in the big tube. Small elbow connectors (probably don't need) Large tube T connectors. Large tube elbow connectors. Drip emitters for each plant. Clip stakes for each plant. A few goof plugs. End cap for end of big tube. Directions: Need two sizes of tubing: large and small. Large can be either 1/2" or 3/8". Small is 1/4". Have the large go from one end of a garden bed to the other and then have smaller hoses go off of that to each plant. You can bury the large tube or not. Just needs to be a few inches underground, not feet. Bury it under the wall of the bed and then have it come up which looks better than draping over the outside of the bed. Drip emitters go on the end of the small tubes. They range from .5 gallon/hour to 1 gallon/hour and more. Standardize with the same size and if a plant needs more water just add another hose to it. 1/4" connectors will connect the small hose to the big hose. They come in T's as well so you can have two small hoses come out of the large hose. 1/2" or 3/4" connectors will connect big hoses to eachother (called a coupler) or change their direction (with elbows or T's). Get them the same size as whichever size your big tubing is. Get a few goof plugs which you plug in to the large hose wherever you put a hole in it that you accidentally didn't intend. A shutoff valve can be installed inline on the big hose. You cut the hose and put each new end on each side. Good if you have a section that you don't want to be watered for a time. A Y-splitter let's you connect a hose to the faucet as well as your drip system. Definitely need. It is first thing to install on the faucet. Timer is the second thing to install. Connect it to Y-splitter. Analogs don't use batteries. His lasted 6 years. Once you connect it, turn it off and turn the faucet on to see if there are any drips. Third thing to install which attaches to the timer is the pressure reducer. Fourth thing to install which connects to the pressure reducer is the adapter. Some have a screw fitting to make sure it holds on to the hose extra tight. Should have a screen inside it which keeps debris out of the system. These should all have rubber washers at each connection to prevent leaks. To connect small hoses: Use hole punch tool to make hole in the side of the big tube that you want small tube to go. Cut the small tube to the length you want. Add a few inches to the length so you can adjust later if need be. Don't get dirt in the tubes! Use a 1/4" coupling to attach the big hose to the small. Install drip emitter to the small tube. Use a clip that has a stake to stake the small tube in place. Before running the system, flush it. Open the end cap on the big tube and have water flush the system.

What was your total cost.? Also.was this pine wood? Ever thought of the shou sugi ban technique.?

I really appreciate you hat you often write out directions in the description. That takes a lot of time & energy on your part, & I want you to know that it helps SO much!!

I don't see you adding the backflow preventer

Excellent video!! I am subscribed and saving!

Thank you for creating the video. Very informative, to the point and helpful.. Thanks again!

How do you control nats in your grow room?

I have a very similar setup with three 48" LED shop lights, 4500 lumen, 5000K, 40 watt above each of two shelves. The seeds are started in 12 oz cups in a standard 10" x 20" plastic tray, sitting on a heat matt, with a clear plastic lid. The seedlings are transplanted when rootbound and I have ended up with tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers in one gallon milk jugs before being hardened off and planted outside. While indoors all flowers are removed. Works like a charm and early harvest.

I've got a 100L tank on a balcony which has relatively low pressure. Is it better to run 13mm poly of it into 4mm tube or just all 4mm tube ? to maximise the pressure ?

These planter blocks are great, but for some reason the blocks I purchased don't have rebar holes that go all the way through

Thanks. Great video.

Not enough, need to sanitize mine :【

How do I remove the drip line from a flower bed that iam going to no longer use?

To create more wast seems to be nearly impossable. Now we know who lose all the plastic witch can be found in all seas.

Yes, the background music sucks. Should have ended after the intro. Just annoying as hell.

Thank you so much!

Great video. Great content. I will be watching your other videos. I am an older single woman and think you are an attractive man but have you ever considered having your beard groomed when you get your hair cut? It would be so much easier to look at you. You do have a great beard otherwise.

Very helpful thanks from holland.i know nothing about gardening so when i tried to cut off excess off the tomato plant i accidentally cut off a part with 2 small green baby growth tomatoes ( blind me😢) i now have put it in a glass of water like you showed and hope for the best.

Great tips!!😊😊

Can you show how to determine what size tube we have?

I am wondering, and I hope you can help me out . What kind of waterpressure regulation enhancement I need to use, when I would like to connect a waterpump (which pumps up the water about 7 meters depth, with a maximum of 3.6 Bar) to a micro drip system. What diameter of piping I should use, before I connect it to the "neighbourhood"lines of 1/4" ? I hope you can advise me... Thanks in advance.

What about cleaning it when you have plants growing and you want to keep them growing but need to clean the water?

Love it thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

You are awesome thank you!

What is the recommended length of the emitter line to the main line?

My advice would be to lose the background music.

I use well and even water out of a spring on my property never any issues with my Kratky set ups just got this to try for small herbs Also u can use masterblend in these units i have a different make that ive grown big pepper plants in so u can use any hydrophonic solution masterblend is great.

Thanks for this tip.

Someone has deliberately cut all my tomatoe plants. The sad soul that has done this, for whatever reasons, I will leave them to their 'karma' and spend not a second more comtemplating them... :) I am grateful to this video and for these tips! Love the smell of having them in water in my room :)

Very helpful video! Thank you for sharing and for teaching me how to do this on my own.

very helpful, thank you!! I set it up with flowers instead of greens and it took me a while to figure out how to reset for greens. I unplugged it and left it unplugged for a bit. I initially set the clock at the current time, not the time I wanted it to go on. so, your video helped me through both of those issues. Thank you so much!!!

Newbie here: I live in central Florida zone 9b. I have a 6 tiered stand and all the trays and pots (no lights yet) and have started planting some of my seeds. Would I be able to start my seeds on my screened back porch (no direct sun) or would it be better to do it inside? I have cats so I was afraid they might mess with my setup and pots. If I did do this on my porch would I still need the lights?
