DIY Drip Irrigation System | Easy, economical and effective

[@marlenarae6830]

I would love to see the difference you found in commercial vs the pvc. You did such a great job on both! You videos are so great thank you for making them!

[@GreenTechTown]

Thanks Marlena!

[@patrickruiz7963]

I LOVE your attention to detail! Thanks so much for showing name tags for items when you describe them, as well as providing links!! You're the best!!

[@brettbesserman9131]

Did you ever do a comparison video? My wife and I are hooked on your videos and enjoy how thorough you are with everything. We recently built a high tunnel greenhouse with raised garden beds with plans to do the square foot gardening. Would love to hear your thoughts on which system you'd recommend for that. Keep up the awesome work!

[@GreenTechTown]

Hey Brett. Thanks for the feedback! Yes I did a comparison video between this type of drip irrigation and PVC drip irrigation found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q36QlYCEj86oetE

[@charitysmith7486]

Love the new thumbnail! You just keep the creativity rollin’. Another job well done.

[@colly7963]

It's a crime your videos don't have more views. They're perfect for dummies like me.

[@mr350znismo7]

I just bought their vegetable kit a day or two before this video went live. The system is amazing and very modular and I'm having great results using it with their timer

[@Ginluv0207]

I would love to see more content for ideas and the knowledge that you're giving. Enjoy gardening so this helps. Tysm

[@GreenTechTown]

Awesome. I will try my best :D

[@1110631]

I would like to see you compare PVC vs drip vs self watering raised bed. Thanks

[@carolel7384]

The audio clearly and accurately describes what the video is showing. Excellent learning tool! Thanks!

[@yolandabyrd1083]

Thanks for making this video and listing all the parts used. It truly makes a difference when you list the product or parts so we can duplicate the system in our own gardens. I very much appreciate it. Thanks for making it look so easy as well.

[@GreenTechTown]

Glad it was helpful Yolanda! Thanks for the feedback.

[@karledman4625]

Like your presentation style; professional, getting to the the presentation wiithout extra comments, effesizing key points and tips, and good recommenations. Well done and keep it up. I would like to hear your comparison study between the drip and your pvc systems

[@drgermany001]

Thanks for the video. You have made it much more easy for me to challenge myself and finally get this for my garden. This would save me time and be more efficient.

[@GreenTechTown]

Thanks for the feedback DR Germany! Glad to help.

[@HauntingsbyDesign]

Yes please do a comparison of the pvc vs commercial drip systems.

[@danclark4998]

Excellent video! Thank you for your time putting this together!

[@forthemind9556]

This is awesome! You really do a great job

[@08kramer]

I have the raised bed irrigation from drip depot. Your video was right on time. Thank you

[@thefoodstudio2567]

Are you an engineer? I love the attention to detail and precision in your videos.

[@GreenTechTown]

Thanks The Food Studio, I just might be :D

[@davidw1324]

yes, would like to see it. good video.

[@TieeshaEssex]

Early congrats on 100K! Enjoy your plaque!

[@sportsfamily77]

Thanks for demonstrating this, I was looking to do this with my garden after I get a rain barrel installed!

[@GreenTechTown]

No problem. Glad to be able to help in some way!

[@MEPPWeber]

This was very detailed and informative thank you! I would be very interested in a breakdown of your thoughts with both systems you showed.

[@mateo1726]

Looks great! I need to start working on a remote pump system like your set up

[@GreenTechTown]

Thanks mateo!

[@redoakpropertycarellc]

Great setup

[@GreenTechTown]

Thanks!

[@dddsire]

Awesome video!!!

[@Billimarie]

Apppreciate the attention to detail! Going to try installing a drip line when the sun goes down today.

[@Billimarie]

Definitely interested in the pros and cons video (pvc vs dripline kit)

[@ChrisHow]

Great video, exactly what I needed 👍

[@TRTGCbyjroed]

Amazing video thanks for sharing. I’m new to your channel ~ hello I’m Ms. J 🖐🏾😁Big Thumbs Up for this tutorial.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@GreenTechTown]

Thanks for the feedback and welcome!

[@memurkamil]

Thanks!

[@GreenTechTown]

Thank you Arda for your support! Much appreciated!

[@memurkamil]

@@GreenTechTown I love your videos. Keep up the great work. I wish I could do more. Take care!

[@Town-of-MM]

Definitely would like to see a comparison between the PVC and commercial!

[@jasonschau4218]

This is your second video i have watched now and i really like your style, clear, precise, to the point and the footage is quality. I think i will subscribe.

[@farmerm-halcyonflowers1758]

Very well done 👍🏽 love this content 🤟🏽👍🏽

[@GreenTechTown]

Thanks Farmer M for the feedback!

[@beesandseas]

Would love to see the cost difference from the PVC to commercial drip system. What one did you find harder to do?

[@GreenTechTown]

Great question. I would say the PVC project required more tools, however, the commercial system required more research to make sure I was buying the correct emitters.

[@TheCookster64]

@@GreenTechTown Seems to me that the PVC solution would be cheaper. I have five raised beds to do!

[@BigVer-x1b]

I’d like a cost comparison of the commercial drip vs DIY PVC. Any thoughts? Any difference in performance? This is a very good video. Thanks.

[@WynterDragon]

I wish I'd seen this a few years ago, it would have kept me from making some mistakes! Nice system!

[@GreenTechTown]

Thanks Sabrina!

[@jimmg8994]

Well done sir. I'm considering how to do something like this for a commercial blueberry business with a block of 300 plants. It's too far away from running water, I would have to use stationary 300+ gallon totes and refill them often. Or pray for rain more 🙂

[@narutofanz85]

Sir, this was awesome. I wish I had seen your video before I bought the cheap stuff from Amazon. It was a good trial experience for me without spending too much money, but I definitely prefer the method you showed and taught. Kudos!!

[@GreenTechTown]

Yeah I have seen quite a few options out there, and so far, it seems like a great purchase. I will definitely make a follow up video once more time has passed by. Thanks for the feedback also!

[@ruthcalsada1440]

I love this type of info. I would love to see your comparison videos.

[@GreenTechTown]

Thanks for the feedback Ruth!

[@vc8172]

Very informative and great presentation...👌👌

[@GreenTechTown]

Thanks for the feedback Vinod!

[@jaredbater6229]

Another super useful video. Thank you!

[@calliedillard9874]

I just moved into my first house and I am planning my garden for next spring. Having an automatic irrigation system is critical for me because I’m not good at watering. Your videos have been VERY helpful. I would love to hear which type of watering system you like best after you have used them for a season along with maybe a price comparison. Keep up the good work!

[@GreenTechTown]

Awesome, and thanks for the feedback Callie!

[@curtstowell4390]

I'm building 5 Raised Beds. I'm going to be using ½” tubing and I will run it through all the boxes, but there will be a T in each box where four ¼" emitter tubing will run to water the plants, so each ¼” tubing will be 8 ft. long. The spacing between the emitters is 6”. I'm also using a Senninger Pressure Regulator 25 PS. How long should I run the water so that my plants get 6 gallons of water per week? And should I run it once a week or a little bit each day? Thank you.

[@GreenTechTown]

Good question. I'm sure there is a formula you can use to find out the answer to that, but I do not have it lol. I would suggest asking/emailing the folks over at DripDepot.com who went above and beyond to help me with some of my questions. I'm not sponsored by them either, so this is just my honest feedback. If they cannot help you, I'm sure there is a way you can test the concept by using a 1 gallon bucket and seeing how long it takes to fill it up with one of the emitter lines and then multiply whatever time you get by 6 and use that as an approximate time.

[@andys5203]

Awesome video. Does your pump heat up do the fact you are reducing the pressure?

[@GreenTechTown]

Great question ANDY. No, the pump does not heat up as I am also using quite a bit of water for my other 3 raise beds which have been the primary areas receiving water from the system. In this video, I added more areas that now have to be watered. I was glad to see the new pump provided enough pressure to water each area of the garden plus the perimeter plants.

[@korganrivera4659]

@@GreenTechTown Let's say I set up a similar system but the pump overheats due to less water demand. Other than replacing the pump with a smaller one, what would be a good fix for this? My first idea is having a dummy line that returns water back to the barrel. But is there another way?

[@germaineludik]

What automatic watering app do you use?

[@GreenTechTown]

I use a free app called eWeLink. It is the recommended app for the WIFI relay I have installed to control the pump. You can find the link here: amzn.to/3OL8FCP

[@randytroll8155]

What water pump do you use ?

[@GreenTechTown]

I use an on-demand pump now. You can find more details here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4inhp2Lrdhmn6s

[@davehogan4776]

Awesome job!!! Thanks!!

[@GreenTechTown]

Thanks Dave for the feedback!

[@sblijheid]

I do have issue with where the water comes out, right at the heart of the plant. The water has to go to the roots, which is a bit further from the heart. Besides, the water can cause the heart of the plant to rot. Roots tent to reach out to the full perimeter of the leaves. Ideally, you water an inch or two from the edge.

[@darkloom]

Thanks!

This is a cumulative donation for the many of your videos that I have watched and learned from: rain barrels, pumps, pvc, poly... I am very impressed with your videos, and your various systems. Thanks

[@GreenTechTown]

Thanks Darren for your donation! It is very much appreciated. Always glad to hear the videos are helpful.
