Don't make this mistake with your raised bed garden! I tried to save money and time but I ended up wasting more time and money. I added a drip irrigation system but it turned out to be trash. Now I have to redo everything but I'm doing it the way I should have to begin with. I'm running a faucet to every raised bed in our garden so we have complete control over the entire drip irrigation system.

For suburbanites like me, the raised bed gardens are for two things. First, because every couple of years I get a decent home-grown tomato or three. The other is, it gives me something to go out and do to keep myself busy. Also, they still make both the primer AND the glue for PVC in clear, in case you want to eliminate the technicolor effect.

A little tip, PVC will experience degradation from UV light exposure, so it's advised to paint it with an outdoor grade paint to help it from breaking down quicker! Looks good!

Yeah I used a 1/2” drip tube underground to each bed, 90 degrees up and through the center of each bed, back out and down and back underground to the next and repeat. Once I established the 1/2” tube. I poked holes and ran 1/4” tubes to each plant. I then pea graveled around all the beds so I don’t have to weed whack and damage the tubes. Put it all on a timer and it’s worked amazingly for over a year. Love this channel and it’s supporters.

Hey Brother, love the channel. You've done some good work. However, I will point out. SCH-20 PVC like you have installed works fine for a limited amount of years. Eventually it will crush if your not careful about what you put on top of it. If by chance you do need to replace them due to cracking or whatever, I recomend SCH-40 for any in ground "dirt" type work with PVC pipe. SCH20 works great inside the home without any chance of crushing. But the 20 will even get crushed by your riding mower eventually. Only reason I know this is by being a septic and plumber for many years. SCh-20 doesnt last in the dirt...It will be fine for a while. Just be aware it has limits.

I've been using the Digg brand of irrigation components, for about 6 years now. Love it! Super versatile with cool, cheap range of micro sprayers and valves and drip lines, etc. They even have misters for summertime. You can cover a patio with misters for like $5. With Digg - you could have snapped on some little valves that cost about 20-cents each and controlled the flow of those drippers more accurately. After every winter I expect to see a lot of broken pieces that froze and cracked or that I stepped on under snow - usually only have to replace one or 2 sprayers, and they cost like $2 each and take seconds to snap out and snap in.

Some PVC expert will probably yell at me for this, but you can cut your gluing time in half by using the all-in-one primer/glue combo stuff. It's not advised for high pressure or residential application, but you're just making a low pressure garden bed. Also, if your pressure is low enough you can even just friction fit some of your pieces so they can be removed later. I have a bunch of friction fit pipes in my garden so the next spring I can remove them, till up the soil, replant new veggies, and then reinstall the pipes again.

I've personally had a great experience with Netafim Techline AS drip line (1/2" or 13mm). It's pressure compensating - each drip hole delivers 3L/hr (0.8 gal/hr) in my configuration, and the holes are about a foot apart... if you need more water, you either run additional drip line in a given bed; run a specific zone for a longer period of time; or purchase it in different configurations (drip hole spacings). Pretty straight forward to install - run your main header pipes (PVC or pressure/ag poly), then at one end of the bed you reduce down to a smaller low density poly pipe (eg. 3/4" or 19mm), and use punch fittings to connect the 1/2" Techline to the low density poly pipe. My system has been running pretty much flawlessly for a few years now; I've only had one small leak where a fencing contractor literally hit the drip line with a shovel (small tear in the 1/2" drip line), and one punch connector started hissing/leaking at a higher rate. Keep up the great work! :)

I’ve had 1/2” supply and 1/4” feeds with both embedded emitters and attached emitters for years, and have not had your experience. To raised beds and containers. The adapters can and break occasionally but I don’t think everyone should assume based on your experience, that they should not use these. Maybe it was the brand? Also, try and have multiple zones connected to a controller, so we can have different amounts of watering and different watering intervals.

Nice job, I can tell you don't live were it freezes. In my area that PVC system would be a bunch of broken pipes in the spring even if you tried to blow them out. In any case, where you went wrong is not having a pressurized system with specific drip emitters. That way you gauge exactly what each plant/bed needs without over watering some and under-watering others on the same timer. My emitters are adjustable. I used to use drip hoses, but that never worked right (more stuff in the trash).

I'm glad I have a good bunch of left over pex and pvc pipe from a bunch of plumbing jobs from the last few years. Already built one drip line for my cucumbers from 3/4" pex. I used a garden hose adaptor into a shut off valve, to the pipe tied level along my trellis, with a garden hose spigot at the other end. I drilled 1/16" holes on each side of each plant about 3 inches away from the stalk, at about 45 degree's up from center, and control the flow with the shut off valve, so it is a sprinkler, and a drip system all in one. I can open the hose spigot at the end, and fill buckets and such, while still running a drip, or shut off the spigot, and use just the drip, or open first valve up and sprinkler out over 1/3 of my garden and get the nice morning watering done much quicker than by hand with a watering can, or a hose and sprayer.

Wife and I have tried many different kinds of drip and soaker systems. The only one we've used more than 2 or 3 years is what we are using now. 3/4" PVC pipe with 1/8" holes drilled in it. PVC main line distributes to various valves, and each valve feeds a length of 3/4in pipe with holes and the far end capped. Nothing downstream of the valve is glued. Can slip off the end caps to flush lines. When a hole plugs up a bit of wire fits into it to unplug it. Being friction fit together all but the main can be removed for tilling or rearranging. A selection of elbows and pieces without holes allow rearranging lines. For raised beds like yours I'd probably run the main to and put a valve at each bed. (We tore out our raised beds after 8-10 years.) I'm not in Utah, but the state university extension office there (USU Extension) published a good intro article, "Designing a Basic PVC Home Garden Drip Irrigation System" and reference material.

That's a good idea. I've never seen it done that way. Thanks!

At some point in this mans life he has been told he looks like an actor we all know I just cant place the actors name myself. Your Videos are awesome I love to learn from you about this survival and skill stuff you teach it so calmly. My family gets frustrated when things arent going the way we plan, it happens, but it is nice to see that you just keep going and joking. Love you and your family.

I use the 1/2" up through the middle of each bed.

1" and 3/4 is overkill for most backyard garden applications. 1/2 will flow plenty for drip applications, I use mostly drip tape and haven't had any issue with clogging but I also have a spin down filter before it heads to the irrigation lines.

It could have been my environment that played a part. The biggest problem was the 90 degree connections for the 1/4 inch lines. If you can avoid those it might save some hassle down the road.

Nice. I can relate to doing this. Right now Im uploading a video tearing chunks out of a company that sold me a dodgy not as advertise piece of cr@p and occasionally, I have to post an entirely new video with a withdrawal because I screwed up haha. Being human is ok :-) The hose still leaks.... Funny. Good hoses are the bane of my existence. They always leak, the connectors lever last long, of for some reason they limit the tap pressure... esp. water timers here in Australia. Nothing like a KZbin channel to teach a company to put a little more R and D into their stuff before selling imperfect faulty or misleading goods haha

You're making me feel lazy, I have been needing to do something like this. My 'temporary' solution of hanging a bar sprinkler from a tree is in it's 4th year of use. I only have 4-8'x4' beds too, you have more than 20 by the sound of it.

Could have used the 1/2” drip line and use shut off valves, but this way works too!

Can we get an update on how this is working for you so far? Everyone I see installing drip irrigation has trouble with parts breaking after a year or so. Did you use the Drip Tape? How is it holding up?
