How to Install an Automated Irrigation System for Container Vegetables and Flowers

[@PlanttreesMS]

Jim, your explanations were so thorough, simple, clear. I'm going to give it a go. Thank you!

[@amymcgrath8999]

These videos are perfect. I've always wanted to set up a simple drip system for my mother. She's getting older so carrying around water hoses, and watering cans is getting hard for her. I think this will be a perfect Mother's Day gift. Thank you.

[@dorotheasarli4799]

That's exactly what I"m looking for too. Thanks!

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Jim: THIS VIDEO was, hands down, THE best drip-water install video I have ever seen. I've watched close to ten. Finally, w yours, I now feel confident. TY!!

[@jomassey4207]

Thanks Jim. Excellent video for reasonably priced irrigation. I noticed people are having problems with the gardenia solar system irrigation. They're using cheap plastic as the water pressure regulators and they're splitting and squirting all over the place. 3 very bad reviews at my local hardware store....so won't be wasting time and money. I'm not paying $270 for something made in Sweden that if a part breaks, you're stuffed. Nothing like putting together it yourself with quality parts and reasonable cost. Thanks ....took many notes. Jo😊

[@kerryjohnson9837]

Love the idea of pvc under the pots

[@suebueti1905]

You’ve just vastly shortened my learning curve on this! It’s exactly what I need for my grow bags and veg trug! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@schatzionline]

This is incredibly helpful. This is my first year gardening and I have about 4 huge planters and 4 medium pots. I’m not sure I’m growing enough to warrant this investment, but we are going on holiday for almost 2 weeks in the middle of June and I know all my efforts would die if I don’t do something like this!

[@Camille-ft1fj]

I’m about to drip irrigate all my containers and I feel like after watching this video I can do it myself. Your instruction and detail was really helpful! Thank you!

[@JimPutnam]

Great. Good luck with it.

[@mayswafford6072]

Thank you for the inspiration. You go nice & slow, show each piece, name the piece and demonstrate it well. I'm putting in a drip system in my front garden. Just waiting for 2 more supplies.

[@jasmine3267]

I'm planning to also have a system in place for my front yard.

[@thepetes8]

Going on a 2-week vacation and was looking into paying someone to come water all of our flowers every day. This system is way easier than I thought, and will save us money. Your video was so helpful, thanks Jim!

[@dawnmiller4015]

Thank u so much for this video! I am a DIY person but for years have tried to get my husband, our landscape company blah blah blah to install these for me unsuccessfully. I’ve stopped having potted plants that I love due to the maintenance in the hot summers here in TX. Pretty sure I’ll have my beautiful patio plants full this year!! Thanks to this video.

[@JimPutnam]

Good luck with everything. Thanks for watching

[@nubbie11]

Jim - really helpful video, simple, straigthforward, no fluff.

[@lisagarcia8558]

Awesome solution/plan/instruction - just what I should have been doing for 30 years. Doing it this year. Thank you!

[@lashasimmons6059]

I am a beginner gardener and love the watering system you described. This will work great for me because I am away from home days at a time, which killed my garden this year. Many thanks!

[@dm4859]

Exactly what I needed. We have all that stuff and have done irrigation everywhere, but somehow did not correlate to my deck roses. Thank you!!!

[@jalilaahmed8925]

thank you so much for this video. its the easiest one I could find on youtube. as usual you are an encyclopedia and you get straight to the point

[@WarriorDudePerson]

Awesome, this of just what I need to have fresh herbs going

[@usagi1848]

With the constant water for your plants, you may want to consider a trough system under all your plants to collect and divert water into lawn or better yet another plant on your lawn below. This may prevent your wooden deck from having water damage creating another problem of needing to replace rotted wood decking. Your video was excellent! Thank you!

[@GrandmasFoodGarden]

Best drip video I've seen (& I've been watching a lot of them). Thank you for such clarity

[@carmendeperignat2700]

Great video. I will definitely use this when I go on vacation!!!

[@maryconner9577]

I'll let you know how it works out for me. I have zero experience in successfully assembling anything. Your video gives me confidence to give it a try. Thank you. Fingers crossed.

[@sheabuttertv]

Great video. I'm glad you show us the difference between the emitters and why you would choose a bubbler over a sprayer. All other youtubers assume that we know.

[@patElfpat]

Fantastic! I thought this was going to be so much more complicated but it sounds very straight forward. Now I’m going to buy the parts for my system and I will not have to depend on advice from a sales person who has never used a system like this. I’ll post again when the system is in use.

[@vickipackham7357]

Love your videos Jim. Always the perfect length with the perfect amount of detail. Sometimes as your talking a question will come to my mind and the next thing I know, you are answering it. I can't think of anything you could do better.

[@shellybourbeau4773]

How did I survive to adulthood! Thank you for sharing this! You simplified it and made it super doable for a beginner like me!

[@thirtytet]

This is a great how-to. Straight forward, easy to understand and very informative. Thank you!

[@Daja_Vu1986]

Good video simply set up I shared it to a few growing groups

[@reggiejoseph5210]

Thank you. Learnt a lot on how to automate plant watering. Very well explained.👌👍

[@Smoke1kenobi]

This really helped and motivated me to try this type of irrigation. Many thanks my friend! You just got a new sub!

[@mjfalcon007]

These videos are fantastic. I knew nothing about irrigation until a few days ago and your content has been really helpful. Thank you

[@WybleMontano]

I like this video. I watched too many and there are some simple but the vloggers are making it like its complicated. Some are too slow. Some are shitty. Sorry. But this one is just perfect for me. Very easy to follow. Thanks For sharing.

[@MichaelZitaglio]

Great video. Where can i buy the components? The link you provided does not work. Thanks so much!

[@Lanny2010]

Super helpful! Thank you very much! Liked and subscribed! ❤️

[@deborahmiller2403]

Terrific video, Jim. Thanks so much. I have to leave my garden for a couple of weeks in June and want to have a system in place by May. You've got me ready to build.

[@Jdash411]

Excellent video. Great presentation and learned a lot. Subscribed.

[@jennydinh9108]

Great video. Nice, short and simple instructions. I use the same timer and the battery lasted over 5 years. I also use some Teflon tape to connect the timer to the hose bib to stop water from dripping.

[@dkpeplinski]

Thank you! Love your videos. I hope you do some on flowers and/or veggies starting from seedlings

[@zoealyce93]

Thank you!!!! First year growing tomatoes in containers and we’re leaving for 3 weeks and just couldn’t think of a good solution - this is perfect!! Can’t wait to get started

[@malikwaseem1983]

I wish i had seen this video before. Thanks for sharing knowledge. This is exactly what i was looking for. Appreciate it

[@texasrecycler9676]

great instructional video-great detail thank you!

[@robinsheartsoillowman4679]

Very help I just purchase the rain bird kit, your videos help me complete my irrigation system. Thank you.

[@bmackenzie1959]

Thanks that was well done. I’m in Cayman Islands where I have a condo. I need a solution for watering my plants when we are away. I am going to set up a system like yours

[@michellelegaspi5931]

Another great video...thanks Jim! I think I found the answers I was looking for. Such a great resource of information!

[@rezhen272998]

awesome video jim this is what I been waiting for. I just bought drip irrigation system I'm looking into installing. a bit confusing but I'll get it

[@tomtomyers]

Great video, Jim. This type of system will certainly come in handy for me.

[@jamestenney8633]

Mr. Putnam. I just subscribed because I noticed this video. It was very informative. I have already installed a drip irrigation system for my potted tomatoes but I don't think I set up the drainage for the pots correctly. In your introduction, you state that you have shot some previous videos on how you set up the pots. I could not find the link for those. I am looking forward to viewing the rest of your videos. Thanks again.

[@spycam56]

Excellent, simple explanation. Thank you!

[@joannthompson765]

Good video have most of it set up just working on from the house to where the plants r

[@debraarizona4809]

I enjoyed this video your camera person captured every detail from start to finish how to hook up the system.🤗👍👍 The information given how to hook up the system was very detailed and helpful. This info is what I was looking for,Great job!!🤗👍👍👍👍 Thank you for sharing👍👍👍 Greedings and new subscriber from Phoenix Az🌵🌞

@@JimPutnam My pleasure👍

[@ralphfurley123]

Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge! I’ve always wanted to install a drip system but have been intimidated by my perceived complexity of the installation. Thank you for shedding some light! ☮️🖖🏽

[@미후루루집사]

Dear friend! It's a cute, fun, and beautiful video. She shared a great video of happiness. Thank you very much.

[@MichaelSmalleyMPA]

Thanks - big help - garden up and running with your help!

[@lorilorihallelujah1753]

This is the best video on irrigation I've seen in the past 2 years. Please make an irrigation video on (1) shrubs, (2) trees, and (3) herbaceous perennials (this name I just learned recently from one of your videos). I've already finished my back yard and 1 side yard but I had so many questions and very little help. I would like to confirm if I am on the right track. It's been so difficult. Appreciate your very informative videos.

[@JimPutnam]

+LoriLori Hallelujah I plan on it as I relandscape my yard.

[@lorilorihallelujah1753]

I will be looking forward to seeing those videos.

[@donaldsalas2571]

I really enjoyed your video presentation it was simple and to the point and I learned a lot. thank you!

[@anandxverma]

Exactly what I was looking for and explanation of each component makes it extremely helpful

[@eileenredfern8364]

Thank you for this easy explanation of how to set up this system. Unfortunately, the link to the kit is no longer available.

[@susanmorris9790]

Thank you. To the point and very informative. I want to set up a system for my neighbor.

[@tommc49]

Answered all my questions. Thanks for posting.

[@isaachinojosa9863]

Love your videos man!

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

This has been a great series. Very helpful.Since you raised the pots up off the surface, you could even bring the tubes up throught the bottom of the pot so that it is even less noticeable, right? I'm thinking if you lined them all up against the railing, with the main line between the pots and the rail, then ran the tubes up through the bottom, you'd hardly even see it.

[@ronpassmore7053]

Perfect! Great info! Thank you.

[@farvista]

Concise, just what I needed.

Hey Jim awesome video ! Best one on KZbin for sure. I was what pip are you using for the main line? Going to do these for my trees and vegetables

[@somozamaria]

Hey Jim, great irrigation video! Can you list the the products you need to build this irrigation system. That would be really helpful.

Loved your video best one I've seen on how to do this. I want to do this on my deck this summer. I just need to know how you winterize all of it in the fall. I live in Colorado. Do you have a how to video on that too?

[@jroc01]

Is there a need for a back flow preventer?

[@Yoav76]

Great video! Can you please share a link and the exact name of those bubbler adjustable drippers? THANK YOU 😊

Nice that you have a link to the products you used however now when you click on the link it will not give you the info.

[@adamking4347]

Hi! Great video. I was just looking into building something almost identical as far as size and components. My difference is I need to pump water from a holding bin. I'm figuring on 18 spots and would need to water about 6 cups at each spot around every other day. But I cant figure what size pump? Should I use some kind of backflow blocker and pressure release valve? Thanks in advance for any help

[@lll8533]

Nice video. Thanks!

[@sidneywhite749]

Love the information

[@mikewang279]

Do you have a list all the things you use??

[@shalsteven]

Why use bigger size hose for the main line?

[@rymaster4385]

Is there a limit on how many emitters or limit on length of tubing before you start to see a loss in water flow?

[@tranp95127]

Great Video. Thanks

[@JimPutnam]

Thanks for watching.

[@keilagorgas6354]

Does it spread the water out evenly?

[@ericprime2398]

What is the brand of the bubblers?

[@martiharris7887]

I am just watering tomato plants in containers, and annual flowers in the ground - all on the same 1/2" tubing. I am using .5 gph emitters with 1/4" line to each plant with a drip emitter with a stake at the end of each line. I noticed it wasn't getting around the whole plant like I thought it should. Can I still use those .5 gph emitters with the bubblers? If so, can they remain the 1/2" tube, or do I need to move them to the end of the 1/4" tube just before the bubbler. I wish I had found your video before I put my system in! I am running my system for 1 hour each day.

[@thekoolkidsmom]

Thank you! I think that I can do this now!

[@shashwatdas6900]

Hi Jim, You product used link is down. Can you please post the information in the description section?
