[@tylersaupe1612]

Thank you! I am going to be revamping my whole garden during this fall and winter in preparation for next spring. Looking forward to implementing this! Very straightforward, you're awesome!

[@OrganicBackyardGardening]

Thanks for watching! - Tim

Does the back flow preventer go at the starting point where the braided hose connects or at the end point after the pex? 4:32

[@OrganicBackyardGardening]

Starting point

[@WhitniRolfes]

Thank you for the video! Question: why use pex B instead of polyethylene for the main line from the existing spigot to the new one?

[@OrganicBackyardGardening]

I used PEX B because it was really affordable.

[@zeetalzee5582]

Would it be possible to do the blue pipe with pvc pipe or with copper if you're not going to trench it (mine would go upwards to my balcony from the down-stairs spigot, so that I can water my balcony plants?

[@derekdyer7272]

I installed something similar based on your video and wondering what size air compressor you use to blow out the line?

[@OrganicBackyardGardening]

Mine is a craftsman the 70's my dad passed on to me, I keep it plugged in when blowing out the lines and runs about 80 - 100 PSI :) Something like this would be comparable (amzn.to/3Sjm6Q0) but any would do, an air compressor with a pressure rating between 40 and 60 PSI would be enough to blow the lines out. Just make you get this attachment - amzn.to/3QaOeSF - Tim

[@McBigFisher]

The part you show for the braided line is different than the part listed in Amazon. The linked item pops up as 1" but you show 3/4" on both ends.

[@OrganicBackyardGardening]

Thanks for pointing that out, your right - here is the correct link and I updated the description - amzn.to/4cP4eEf

[@theteenagegardener]

Hi there! I am thinking about installing a similar water line out to my vegetable garden for installing a drip irrigation system and a hose reel. Have the SharkBite fittings and PEX-B pipe held up well underground? Have there been any leaks?

[@OrganicBackyardGardening]

No leaks the first season! Pretty solid set up - you will be all set!

[@lisav1186]

Are the lines non-toxic ie free of toxic lead, bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates? i was intending on using water right's hoses to water but once i expand my garden i am going to need to figure out another way of watering. they have soaker hoses but getting the water out there is my concern. can you expand on your setup and all the buried piping?

[@OrganicBackyardGardening]

Yes, these are water lines. Many new home have pex installed instead of copper these days. I don’t intend on expanding the buried part of the pex. However I can expand the dip line area if needed.

[@lisav1186]

@@OrganicBackyardGardening thank you!

[@beckyquery6392]

So, by using the Splitter at the house connection, you have to leave it on all the time, correct? How well does the splitter actually work? Are some better than others? I've had some that don't have a good seal when turned off and have a slight drip.

[@OrganicBackyardGardening]

This is the splitter I just replaced my existing one with and seems to be working well. amzn.to/3WgrRyc

[@LukeCampbell-ep8rp]

why do you have the water heater connector go from you existing spigot , then attach to the pex , instead of just using pex from your existing spigot ?

[@OrganicBackyardGardening]

That's a good question - You could do that, however, I wanted something flexible for an easy attachment as the pex is pretty rigid. But, I think you could certainly use a 3/4" PEX Barb x 3/4" Female GHT, like this if you had a crimper - amzn.to/49OTaV6

[@wbwb1020]

Did you wrap the elbow to the copper with silicone tape too?

[@OrganicBackyardGardening]

Yes, since it was burried I wrapped it with the Sharkbite Silicone Wrap - amzn.to/40en8OZ

[@larrymorse6875]

Thnx

[@nnekababy]

So you like this better than Garden In Minutes grids?

[@OrganicBackyardGardening]

I love the garden in minutes grids, and I have them on some of my beds. But, the cost to outfit all these new 16 foot beds with grids would have been more costly.

[@bajasvt]

Nice job, but you should shield the little bit of exposed PEX you have from sunlight… it won’t hold up long with UV exposure.

[@OrganicBackyardGardening]

Good point. It’s all buried now.

[@derpherpp3]

I put a link about my comment below

[@LibtardsTears]

Why is pex better than pvc for this?

[@OrganicBackyardGardening]

I am not sure if one is better than the other. You could certainly use pvc. Pex is more flexible which I liked. - Tim
