Easy Drip Irrigation System 💦💦 || DIY Drip Irrigation For Home Garden || Setting Up Drip Irrigation

[@heidijones1516]

So grateful for this easy to follow instruction on how to set up a new system or zone. You were able to explain it without over explaining or over complicating, thanks Amanda!

[@shesamadgardener]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kathyley5661]

Yes in deed! Thanks so much.

[@MelissaCasseus544]

​@shesamadgardener hi are you able to give me an example of your drip irrigation schedule please thanks

[@michellepollino4986]

Amanda you set that drip up so easy. Thanks for sharing the set up with us.

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@sandrapudoff]

Thank you for explaining this so anyone can understand the process. I haven't put together a drip system since they invented the emitters built right into the 1/4" hose. That is a great saver instead of having to plumb in each individual emitter. Great job Amanda.

[@shesamadgardener]

You're very welcome!

[@janetta5827]

I know this is an old video but I appreciate you doing this one. I'm in the midst of setting my irrigation up so this was a great help. Yes, it is so intimidating but it yruly has not been as hard as I had imagined. Thank you again. 😊

[@shesamadgardener]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rosemarypurnell3674]

Great video and easy to understand. Appreciate you taking us through the process step by step. Definitely going to try this whenever the weather cools down.

[@shesamadgardener]

Glad it was helpful!

[@strohme53]

I cannot believe I paid someone to set this up. I feel confident that I can add to the current system. Cool off lady. Another great video.

[@shesamadgardener]

You can do it!

[@dsabo6426]

and you did it in triple digit heat!!! amazing.

[@shesamadgardener]

Yes I did!

[@LynnSargent-xx5ei]

I watched another gardener's video about this subject, took three pages of notes! Then came to your page, only ONE page was needed for notes and they really make much more sense! Thanks so much! Maybe this won't be quite as hard as Ithought.

[@shesamadgardener]

Glad it was helpful! It really is easy once you start on it … it’s kind of like Lincoln logs!

[@jerryrobinpendleton5171]

Oh ok! Thanks so much for explaining. I’ve never seen the installation of drip. I know it was so hot out there! You rock Amanda!

[@shesamadgardener]

Happy to help!

[@anitadiaz8517]

Thank you for this video! I love how specific and simple you explained everything! I've been so intimidated by drip irrigation systems that I've never done it. Since I live in Mckinney Texas I really really need it. This year I was gone for 2 weeks because my dad got sick, and my husband couldn't keep up with watering, so a lot of my plants died.

[@shesamadgardener]

If you are in McKinney then you know the crazy heat we’ve had … drip irrigation will help you gain back so much time plus peace of mind.

[@kimhouston1234]

Thank you for sharing. I will show my husband to help me…

[@shesamadgardener]

Please do!

[@caroleferreira2846]

You are awesome. Thank you so much for the simple explanation. Can’t wait to see how you get the water into the raised bed. I will be doing the same to my beds that are 25 feet from my house. No more pulling the hose to the garden for me!

[@shesamadgardener]

You are going to love having drip irrigation!

[@marionnixon817]

Thanks Amanda! You really did a nice job of showing and explaining. I tried to install a drip line in my front bed but the hose was too stiff to connect the pieces. I left it out in this heat and hope it has softened enough to fit the pieces together. Its the brown kind with built in drips. It’s just so hot to work outside right now. Im usually out watering and working around 7:30 until dark but pretty miserable. Thanks so much for the lesson!

[@shesamadgardener]

It is miserable outside right now … I can only make it about 20 minutes at a time.

[@barbb.9489]

Scary! You are really good at this!

[@shesamadgardener]

💚

[@vickijackson9115]

Thank you once again for sharing all your hands on projects. Soooo helpful to understand the mechanics of all your projects.

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@Singlelady1601]

Thank you for this very simple instructional video. I have been procrastinating installing a drip irrigation system as I was intimidated. I feel I can do it in the spring so I don't have to deal with freezing issues

[@shesamadgardener]

You are welcome!

[@TrashPandaFlowerChild]

Thank you for posting this! I want to add drip to my front beds this fall and this video was super helpful. I have been dying for you to post something like this! Have you ever done rain water harvesting? I want to add that in as well.

[@shesamadgardener]

I have not but have always wanted to harvest rain! I might consider doing in for a misting system in my shade garden.

[@CityGirlGoneGreen]

New sub here! I luv how very thorough your explanation of this is I really appreciate you and this video

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks for subbing!

[@nikkichevere]

Yes I needed this video u have no idea girl thanku soo much

[@shesamadgardener]

Glad to help!

[@3CandiesInTX]

Thank you! This was very helpful.

[@shesamadgardener]

Glad it was helpful!

[@donnajoy6951]

Get out- it’s that easy! What? My garden has struggled for no reason 😢. Measuring the space when the sun goes down and gathering supplies over the weekend. Thanks!

[@shesamadgardener]

Yep, super easy! And once you understand the basics, you can build on with more complicated or streamlined processes.

[@patboyle267]

Thank you for this video 🙏 the information you provided was easy to understand and I appreciated your going through each step and showing the different parts for the irrigation set up 😊

[@shesamadgardener]

Glad it was helpful!

[@eleanormarcellus8676]

excellent tutorial

[@shesamadgardener]

Glad you liked it!

[@LaryPan]

Hi Amanda, Thanks for this video! I have all the items to do the same in my garden, but keep overcomplicating it in my head. Your video made it super easy for me to visualize how to do the drip irrigation in my garden! However, I'm puzzled with how you do the fertilizing, is that still done by hand? thanks again!

[@shesamadgardener]

Yes, I fertilize by hand. However, there are some cool systems that allow you to fertilize through the drip irrigation … those just are not in my budget.

[@meganramsey2228]

How often do you replace any of the tubing?

[@shesamadgardener]

I’ve never had to replace in the last 5 years. It’s still in great shape.

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you 🙌

[@CarrieNita]

Just FYI, if you unfurl the 1/2" hose out in the sun, it will lie flat and not kink when you need to use it. It would do this easily at 105° lol.

[@shesamadgardener]

Awesome, thanks!

[@jeanannpowers9335]

Thank you Amanda! I'm a slave to watering because I've made drip systems into rocket science in my brain. But this was helpful, it worked for my brain. Our brains might be sisters lol 😂

[@shesamadgardener]

Yay brain sisters!!!

[@lindaburris4138]

Do you have a trick for attaching the quarter inch tubing to the barbs? My hands are just not strong enough.

[@shesamadgardener]

I use my hands but I did see a tool at Lowes that helps with that. I also suggest that your tubing is warmed from the sunshine before using … it becomes softer and more flexible.

[@user-il6pp5wn7v]

Hi Amanda New to the channel. I love your video on the drip irrigation. QUESTION? Is there a limit on how long the 1/2 inch main line can be?

[@shesamadgardener]

I’ve always heard no longer than 100 ft but mine extends much further and I have not had any pressure issues so far.

[@user-il6pp5wn7v]

@@shesamadgardener Thank you!

[@bonnielamb2170]

Why don’t you run the tubing up through the drain holes of the pots? It’s a much cleaner look in my opinion 😊

[@shesamadgardener]

The lines don’t bother me and it’s easier to move since I move my pots around all of the time.
