Drip Irrigation Basics

[@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.

[@TeaPips]

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

[@danielblair876]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@DS-ft5dt]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@KevinNelson40502]

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

[@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!

[@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 🎉

[@VitorMadeira]

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

[@carolynholtsnider2672]

Finally an easy to understand reticulation video for beginners,wonderful, thank you.

[@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.

[@mohamadadghim4453]

Thanks very much. This was very informative and straightforward.

[@sajjadahmedqureshi5426]

Thank you very much Fine Gardening. Simple and to the point. Thumbs up.

[@kenkalemkarian9877]

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

[@provisioneyewearoptical786]

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

[@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!

[@lindelwamabuza1566]

Best drip video of them all

[@krisnowandlater5288]

Excellent video. Answered all of my questions. Thank you!!! Your video is awesome!

[@howiedewitt_]

The look he gave that weed at 3:26. Lol

[@MasterWingman]

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

[@InspectorDee]

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

[@rajanmathai]

I learned lot. Thanks and subscribed

[@AJTheGraftMan]

I learned a lot. This video inspired me to install a system for my garden. Thank you

[@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!

[@GersonSouza1971]

Thank you for this video. Very informative.

[@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!

[@ranaictiu]

A very very nice and clear explanation.

[@adnanminhas2229]

Good job u can be a great teacher 👨‍🏫

[@vidman999]

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

[@zerodegrekelvin2]

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

[@markredding9977]

😢😮

[@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!!

[@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

[@mando1337]

This was the video I was looking for.

[@chompushkabombushka3595]

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

[@4seasonstreeservice]

Thanks for sharing your video!

[@yichendon8044]

Great video, thank you.

[@questioncomfort]

what brand of drip irrigation equipment where you using?

[@pcofranc]

they are all basically the same.

[@judyware1519]

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

[@loulout.9000]

This really was as easy as he said

[@architectinth]

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

[@jeffgordon9819]

The timer should always be upstream from the pressure reducer . To make most timers work they rely on the 60+ - pounds of pressure to operate. When you reduce lower than 40 pounds it often creates problems, I think this video has a 25 pound reducer. It bothers me to see information that will decrease the chances of a gardeners success.

[@FinegardeningMag]

Thank you for this information! We will look into this.

[@StickAndMove]

3:24 That poor little weed! 🥺 🤣

[@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.

[@sayajikokitkar8313]

Very nice information sir

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@yalvi]

Thank you for the video!! Just what I needed!

[@User-pc9fk]

Irrigation wit the drip? 😳😳

[@microska2656]

When irrigation has drip😳

[@adambald600]

Drip drip drip

[@pwwestra]

wow, that was really useful! Thanks a million! :-)

[@geanitsucuneli4791]

Thanks!

[@blackguyincali]

First video ive ever watched on drip irrigation and i feel no need to see any others.

[@redbarry7]

You forgot to flush out the lines before adding the emitters. Barry Hanish, Retired President of Raindrip Inc.

[@rhumball]

Best and to the point instructions. Simple and super clear.

[@chefgiovanni]

Dude knows his drip. Thank you.

[@Scam-awareness]

Hi I been working with drip irrigation for the past 10 years and on my experience is always convenient to re connect the 1/4 inch tecline. When is terminated with a plug it will loose pressure and or may not get any water to the end of the line but if you reconnect to the main 1/2” or bigger line the pressure will be more effective and more continuous.

[@bellbouy]

Do you mean a loop?

[@Scam-awareness]

Yes!!!

[@stowesuz]

Pedro Sanchez can you recommend a brand and where to buy? Thanks.

[@Scam-awareness]

@@stowesuz I currently live in souther California and we have a few store such as Site one and imperial sprinkler supply. I don't know where you are located but home depot and lowes carries averaging you would need for any irrigation system, other home improvement store only carry some parts. For a home project make sure you use hunter or rain bird for your water valves they are reliable. Hope this helps. Stay safe, God bless.

[@timmmmmmmmmmy1]

👍👍well done.

[@jasonwieber2762]

Thanks for the warm water trick, great video

[@daowilliams5463]

Please tell me the brand of the system which you demonstrated . Thanks

[@scottcrawford9746]

Don't you love a youtuber who doesn't engage their audience

[@IrrigationInsights24]

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

[@NaturebyGus]

Those metal "hold downs" are extremely dangerous for dogs and wildlife. If they get lose in the ground your dog can easily have an accident with them. I spent $800 at the veterinary and surgery to remove one from the leg of my dog. Recommend plastic hold downs instead! Thanks.

[@jucimarsena4054]

Great video !!!!!!

[@ivy4559]

I’m scared to attempt this bc it will be an added cost that I cannot mess up! But if I’m spending a couple hundred on plants this spring, it would help if I could keep them alive!

[@FinegardeningMag]

We totally get it! It isn't too hard, though, and will probably save you money in plants in the long run!

[@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!

[@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.

[@0055-g3i]

Excellent future

[@JanieO]

I should have watched this before buying all the parts I needed 😩😩😩

[@CelticHallows]

Where can I get all those tools. I've been doing this and buy crummy irrigation systems for years.

[@melissareeder99]

Yeah, I wish there was a link to the system he used

[@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.

[@lljl5310]

SUBSCRIBED!!!!!

[@docee195]

Great basic info about how to install the parts but what he didn’t talk about is water pressure and flow rate. In other words, there are limitations on how much tubing you can connect and how many emitters you can use. That gets rather complicated especially if you have a really big garden. Just saying.

[@fisherguy]

No info on the timer, is it powered, batteries or?

[@closetcleaner]

It is powered by batteries.

[@rosercaliwag4493]

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

[@billbaskin4631]

Hello, using a faucet for the water supply is interesting....every irrigation supplier I have discussed this with says NO WAY, and advises PVC originating from the main coming into the house. Please reference a source so that I can learn more about this approach. I am planning a veggie garden consisting of 8 100’ rows, 4’ wide. The garden is 250’ from the house. Thank you much.

[@pcofranc]

He is doing a small / tiny garden but for what you are talking about it makes more sense to use 3/4 or 1" PVC from the main to a master valve then branch off into sub-valves which to create as many zones as needed.

[@DonatelloLabouche]

Thanks man, great clam simple video on how to do this. Thank you sir! 🫡

[@susanneward7029]

He doesn’t talk about using a different pressure regulator for the emitter tubing vs the tubing that you add an emitter to.

[@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!

[@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.

[@sgibb706]

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

[@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

[@MilesSherry]

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 ☺️

[@dewcoircosmetics.5999]

Awesome video. Thanks for helping!

[@FinegardeningMag]

Any time!

[@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!!

[@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.

[@Susanne33062]

Can drip irrigation be connected to an existing sprinkler system? If so, would this be better than connecting it to the spigot?

[@aboutdermtime]

best DIY video of all time tbh

[@orcasmicyt6423]

i have No garden, still watching these new Hooman Accomplishments

[@charliedevera3736]

can i ask for the materials you used?

[@sharathv9281]

Liked it... thanks

[@melissacurtis5896]

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

[@katewagner4351]

What is the brand of this kit?

[@Gregmichaels409]

Very nice, but I suggest that you add links to suppliers that would help monetize your channel.

[@tomtedbear]

I appreciate that he does not have such links. Other KZbin presenters mention a brand they are using and you’ll find it isn’t a recommendation but a pitch for a sponsor.

[@timwebber9906]

Bro, thanks for making this video!

[@fabvier]

No it wasn't easy ,YOU made it look easy !

[@Ecuadorlife]

Thanks a lot, I am following your instructions on my work in Ecuador agriculture business and I am trying to show people the potentials of Ecuador.
