Currently I have 2 rows of corn, with 20 plants in each row. I'm not sure what the best attachment to my main 1/2 line is for this. I don't want to run 40 1/4 tubes from the main line. Is the soaker line enough water?
@InTheGarden23 сағат бұрын
I would definitely recommend using soaker hose for this. Just run it down each row and adjust the time it runs to get the right amount of water.

Thanks for this video. I too, recently received an AeroGarden as a gift and was clueless on how to proceed. I do have a question however. I’ve noticed that the root structure on all of my herbs seem to be quite full and thick. Should I consider removing the herbs from the Aero garden and planting them in a separate pot or is this something that I shouldn’t worry about? Thanks for all of your help!
@InTheGarden2 күн бұрын
It's really up to you. You can definitely transplant to soil if you want, but you don't have to, they should continue to grow fine in the aerogarden. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching 😊 🌱

Hi...Do you always have 0.5inch-1inch of water in the bottom of the trays, or do you wait for the water to be all absorbed and then top up?

Once the seeds have sprouted, I wait until the tray is dry AND the top 1/4 to 1/2in of soil is dry.

@@InTheGarden So you do not add more water to the tray (other than the initial amount) until they have sprouted?....I have been maintaining the water all the time, even before they have sprouted...Could this much moisture kill the seeds?

@InTheGarden2 күн бұрын
I usually don't add additional water until they have sprouted, but I don't think it would cause any issues. The seeds are at the tops of the cups and the soil will only draw up the amount of water it can hold so the amount in the tray shouldn't make a difference. I would only be concerned they haven't sprouted if it's been much longer than the germination time listed on the packets and the temperature has been kept in the correct range the whole time. Hope this helps.

@janhavi757623 күн бұрын
Great video with no useless fluff, thanks! I have recently become the ignorant caretaker of a 5 acre irrigation system with 3 Irritrol irrigation timers, hundreds of fruit trees, ornamental trees and bushes and dozens of small succlents, etc. It has been somewhat neglected since the last irrigation overhaul 2 years ago and i am just now learning about irrigation systems. (i am the renter). The property has Netafim drip emitters everywhere. The soil is clay to loam. Most of the irrigation stations are set for 20 to 30 minutes each. All of the emitters i have seen are either 8 L/hr or 4 L/hr. Many of the trees (even fully grown redbuds and the fruit trees) have 3 or 4 individual 8L/hr emitters close to the trunks, i.e. 24 to 32 L/hr per tree. Even the little succulents and super drought-tolerants like Dietes have 4L/hr emitters. Most of the programs are set to run 3 or 4 days a week, and this is northern semi-coastal California, so not super hot except a few days/week for a few weeks in summer. So I think this is way too much water, especially for the succulents, drought tolerants and even the trees. At least one lovely full-grown apricot tree died last year, i think from root rot. Grass and weed growth, including blackberries & poison oak is pretty extreme around the watering. And when the weed-whacking guys come, drip lines ususally get cut. I think this is too much water, especially for the succulents, drought tolerants and trees. What do you think?

I have watched a few videos now and I'm wondering why people are not talking about how rain barrels are better for your garden that water does not have all the chemicals added to it rain is pure and city water is full of chemicals like chlorine and stuff I guess your drip system is better for bushes and trees, I guess. let me know. Why don't people want to use rain barrels? for their garden really like how the drip system works though.
@InTheGarden29 күн бұрын
I can't speak for anyone else, but where I live, we only get about 4in of rain a year, and it's almost entirely during the winter months so using rain barrels is not a viable option for me to regularly water my garden during the growing season. I don't discuss it, because my videos are all based on my personal experience while gardening. Additionally, the cost to set up a rain collection system with pumps to feed a drip system are not typically economical for backyard gardeners. Hope this helps, thanks for watching 😊 🌱
