Drip Irrigation Basics

[@lasaniorowe5361]

This is the first guy man to get to the point and teach you very well and simply, he's the best, KZbin should give him an award 🎉

[@Chillpillspill]

No lousy music, no bs, no wasted time, just pure straight-forward information. Excellent!

[@MichaelSmith-fm5ln]

Seriously. I wish more channels did it this way.

[@wegrowfood7799]

I made a video similar to this one, that explains the accessories commonly used for building a drip irrigation system. For beginning "irrigationists", this video sums it up well. Skip to 2:48 in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oF7NY31vobGSicU.

[@jasminself1068]

Dear Steve, you gave me the confidence to walk into an irrigation supply store as if I was a mediocre man. Thank you for your teaching, I wish you were my dad.

[@gogan3429]

First class presentation. No robot voice or advertising. No special effects. Thank you for this. I learned a lot.

[@FinegardeningMag]

Thank you! We try!

[@TeaPips]

Great video! No rambling, no stupid music, straight to the point. Love it!

[@AshWP]

I have watched tons of videos on drip irrigation & still found it intimidating - this is the first video that made it seem so simple (honestly!). Love it! Appreciated how multiple scenarios were covered such as goof holes, containers, winterizing the system etc. thank you for the attention to detail!

[@FinegardeningMag]

Great to hear!

[@chompushkabombushka3595]

Great video. Like everyone mentioned, I appreciate that there was no frills, straight to point and informational. Thank you!

[@judyware1519]

I appreciated how he got to the installation details without extemporaneous chatter. Quick and to the point, and very helpful!

[@architectinth]

This is the type of instructional I want to see. Straight to the point, no wasted space or fluff. Thank you so much!

[@nolagirl7082]

Super helpful even 8 years on! Thanks! Last summer I swore it would be the last year that I hand watered, so I’m trying to install drip irrigation in my garden beds this year. I really appreciate all of the detail

[@Vivvieoliver6724]

Extremely helpful, well thought out presentation! Especially for those of us who have plants already in place and have to work around those!! We don't always start with a blank slate! This was excellent!

[@zerodegrekelvin2]

I know it is 2020, but this is one of the best video on drip irrigation, thank you!!!

[@markredding9977]

😢😮

[@raymondperez7630]

My first post. After reviewing several you tube videos on installing drip irrigation systems, i finally worked up a flow design. Very simple in nature but more importantly, i found the confidence to do it myself. Ordered everything i need and I'm now just waiting for the items to arrive. Appreciate your easy to watch instructions.

[@melissareeder99]

Do you have a link to the system you purchased?

[@raymondperez7630]

@@melissareeder99 I scoured Amazon and bought from different vendors. I did get 2 different types of timers through they are both Melnor brand. One is bluetooth (new Model) and the other is not.

[@MasterWingman]

i like this guy. he's straight to the point

[@furrsync4522]

Soooooo siiiiiiimple!!! Thank you for clear, concise, no brand ad bs. Just what a noob need's to start! Very much appreciated!

[@spud-from-Nam]

Great video. Recommended it to a friend who has had bad luck setting up a system that was reliable. You make it so easy to understand. Thanks.

[@VitorMadeira]

Man, this was quite an exceptional HELP! So simple, yet, so informative. I really appreciated. THANK YOU! Greetings from Portugal.

[@Merb.]

This was so helpful! I’m just in the research/planning process and you clarified so many points and gave great tips that I haven’t seen in many other videos :) Thank you!!

[@dufreebell]

Clear and concise instructions. One of the best videos that I’ve seen with ton of information. Every second of it is useful. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you so much for making and sharing.

[@janicewoods3072]

This was an excellent, straight forward video with attention to detail. I’m going to setup drip irrigation to my flower beds. This is going to save me so much time and water. Thank you!

[@toriw7812]

thank you! probably the easiest, simplest video on drip irrigation I've seen yet. I avoided drip irrigation for a long time because it used to be more expensive. I'm learning that it's not as expensive anymore and so I'm ready to jump in. Only, I got stopped up at anything more than tubes, connectors and emitters. Thank you for sharing the basics for this beginner at DI.

[@danielblair876]

Very informative, no fluff. A perfect example of what an instructional video should be.

[@buckrogers7498]

My mom asked me to adjust her system around her flower bed. I'm pretty handy when it comes to general stuff but had no idea how to start. This got me going. Thanks.

[@farmlife5197]

Just wanted to say thanks for this simple to follow video. I watched several others and they made it so complicated. So thank you!

[@paulcantshutup]

Well, I'm not so much into gardening, but my wife is. What I do like is playing with equipment and laying out systems. Fun for both of us, and then we don't have to worry so much about watering anything. Slick! Thank you!

[@RobertProlPMP]

Like many others said, thanks for a succinct video. The post production must have taken lots of time. I’ve been using drip systems for a long time, and am on our 3rd house where I’ve retrofitted the zone sprinkler system for drip. I love the idea of going up through the bottom of the planter. Now I know what I’ll be doing this week.

[@FinegardeningMag]

A commendation from someone with experience is lovely to hear- we appreciate it! Good luck with your project!

[@tonynguyen501]

The man gave me 100 % confident to tackle this tidiness job which I was like a cavemen entering the garden for the first time. Thank you Steve.

[@rwfetterman2546]

I miss those "getting off track minutes" viewers are forced to sit through as the "expert" drones on about all the possible scenarios that might come up found in all the other DYI video's. No wait, no I don't. Outstanding vid!

[@Luvyatilyouactup]

I’ve been thinking drip irrigation seemed complicated but this video laid everything out in the simplest terms. I’ll be free from torture in Texas next summer and I’m thrilled ☺️

[@tracymonroe6001]

Thank you for the clear, understandable presentation. Iʻm about to gather the parts of a drip system and now I understand them all better.

[@IrrigationInsights24]

Great video! [4:42] How would you compare this drip system to a smart irrigation controller in terms of water efficiency?

[@jefffortney8282]

By following this excellent video, I had my drip system up and running in no time! Thank you so much!

[@DS-ft5dt]

Watched several videos, and this one is the only one that actually gave me useful information. Thanks!

[@SadeeqSimmons]

Ditto!

[@audreyb3690]

Great video! This helped me understand the basics of a drip irrigation system I had installed and how I can add drip irrigation to my new container plants. Thank you!

[@nortok00]

This is a great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it. I didn't even consider things like a pre-filter, etc. I'm sure I saved myself a lot of grief by watching this before starting my install including buying a lot of 'goof plugs'. 😁

[@KitJohnson9]

One of the best how-tos I've ever seen on youtube. Thank you!

[@FinegardeningMag]

Thanks!

[@johnydoe8636]

Fine Gardening Sir where can I buy this system I have about 50 Podocarpus about 3’ tall just planted them for a privacy wall. I have a Homedepot nearby...?

[@eliforman9082]

Agreed…no nonsense help plus the first video that shows remote water valve away from house an mounted to a 4x4. I’m doing this also, and will have the main hose bib connections mounted to a plywood board as a base to keep things from moving around. The remote connection protects against big leaks at the house foundation.

[@nabanitasen]

Great video. Can you please share the list of items you purchased?

[@FinegardeningMag]

Hi there! You can find the materials used in this garden at dripworks.com. These kits include everything you need. Just pick your garden size: www.dripworks.com/drip-irrigation/irrigation-kits/garden-bed

[@jayteaman]

Outstanding video. This really gives me the confidence to take my garden to the next level next year! Cheers from 6b.

[@Vector_Ze]

Goof Plugs! A-ha! I've been wondering about that for the full year I've been considering a drip irrigation system. Thanks for the video. This overall straightforward explanation is the best I've seen.

[@KevinNelson40502]

Exceptionally clear and concise step-by-step instructions-thanks

[@carolynholtsnider2672]

[@rekster11]

You def make it seem easy. I’m sold. Can’t wait to try drip 💧 this season!

[@melissacurtis5896]

You made everything so easy. Great video. Great shots of all the detailed stuff!! 5 out 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@danielmenzo5994]

So helpful, thank you! How do you connect the water to the wooden post first? Does the faucet on the other side of the post go to the house?

[@oakalleymorgans]

My garden is a long distance from my house. Can I run my hose over to the garden then attach my: Filter, regulator, timer, and 1/2"tubing system? Excellent video, TY!!

[@ericprime2398]

What is the brand of the timer on 1:02?

[@FinegardeningMag]

Thanks for keeping it short and to the point.

[@pretty95138]

very helpful and straigh forward video...you made it look so easy. quick question, how can I sdd the drip irrigation to containers that already have soil and plants potted in it?

[@AA-kf7uf]

Great video, thank you. But don't you have to blow out the remaining water in winter?

[@provisioneyewearoptical786]

Great job. good and useful and very simple explanation. i appreciate that. thanks for work.

[@Rdff522]

Best tutorial. Such straightforward information. I feel confident

[@rosercaliwag4493]

Very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you so much.

[@dysfunctional_vet]

that was a good presentation of a water system, i like hybrid systems and this was a link i was missing to improve on my project. thanks for filming, and presenting this

[@FinegardeningMag]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mohamadadghim4453]

Thanks very much. This was very informative and straightforward.

[@rajanmathai]

I learned lot. Thanks and subscribed

[@kenkalemkarian9877]

Thanks for the video! Very straightforward, and to the point.

[@tarekfezai617]

Great presentation indeed. Thanks. One question plz: how long should that type of watering last and how much water does it need in each watering? Thanks

[@FinegardeningMag]

Hi Tarek, that's going to really really depend on your garden, climate, and what plants you have! Where are you located? If its a veggie garden, people will often recommend soaking for awhile, up to 30 or 45 minutes a day!

[@jasonwieber2762]

Thanks for the warm water trick, great video

[@yernenipujitha3784]

Nice video I would like to give a try can u please provide any links of the items which you have used so that it would be helpful to me thank you

[@pragatiagarwal7000]

Great video! Helped me understand the basics and what the different terms mean.

[@alkajoshi4011]

Very well explained in simple manner,thanks

[@kimjfriedman]

Straight to the point, No BS. Thank you.

[@samiajijudistira7199]

Great presentation video! I hope you can help me with my question: I am thinking about installing this system in a place where there is no city water and I am thinking about having a reservoir where I have the nutrient solution. I would then use a pump and with a timer it would dispense the water/nutrient to the plants. My question is: would the pressure from the pump reach the farthest point/emitter as well? I would appreciate your help.

[@KamozaGoma]

Thanks for your time. May God bless you.

[@InspectorDee]

Great video! So helpful and easy understand. Thank you!

[@sgibb706]

Thank you for this great video. just what I needed and answered all my questions.

[@BalbysHome]

hi . thanks for sharing . very helpful. have a question, i have noticed that the water drip from my 1/4 “tube immiting 6 inches apart is so slow…. any possible cause? thanks lot for sharing

[@FinegardeningMag]

How old is your set up? Do you regularly flush the tubes?

[@tundeadepoju7255]

Awesome presentation, very easy to understand. Thank you.

[@Snipeshooter90]

Could I get a link to all this stuff or where I can buy it

[@closetcleaner]

any major hardware store, department store or online retailer (such as Walmart, Amazon, Overstock) will carry any of these items.

[@vidman999]

Great video, thanks. I'm planning to set this up here in Leduc, Alberta, Canada this Spring.

[@dauntul]

This is such a great video! Thank you!

[@frankoconnor8602]

[@questioncomfort]

what brand of drip irrigation equipment where you using?

[@pcofranc]

they are all basically the same.

[@prosaic.7944]

Hello! I was wondering why there's a whistle noise coming from my dripline, could you help? Thanks!

[@prosaic.7944]

Found it, one of the nozzles had a small rock in front of it.

[@FinegardeningMag]

Haha! I was thinking about it, but had no idea where to start diagnosing that issue - glad you found it!

[@maninimahapatra649]
