😊This gentleman is absolutely good and he does not waste and uses natural ingredients so far so good and I want to thank you so much😊 It also grows in my area in the deep South I'm so glad you told me about clumping bamboo. My Mamma used to stomp the shoot of the bamboo behind her grandmother's house we could have been eating it I love bamboo thank you again sir I greatly appreciate your time and effort to educate us aloha

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

No problem, I love finding uses for bamboo

[@CheyenneNixon-p8m]

A completely and totally 100% agree 👍

[@sachinsingh4264]

I learned about drip irrigation technique in my book and got curious and I wanted to witness it but no video could show me the inside view. This video cleared my doubts😁😁😁

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Glad it helped!

[@Janmichaelevans]

I'm in Jamaica and I enjoyed watching your video ,gonna try this on my weed farm ....

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

It was a fun project! And still.working great for me. Good luck. Jamaica is awesome. I stayed in port Antonio once. Loved the nightly dj's.

[@cindylopresto7462]

Can you share info on how you built your greenhouse.. Your irrigation system isba great idea

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

It's a pretty simple build. Just some Ohia Logs on the four corners, some header wood, bracing and a roof framed on top to hold it all together, Then I added an old security door I had onto it. But I could try get it in a video in more detail.

I was thinking about drip irragation system and suddenly this popped up into my head, i used to watch alot of anime growing up, and then i googled it and this was the first video that came up. This gave me the last bit of motivation that i needed and now i'll do it, get to it like tommrow.

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Good luck. It has been working great for us this whole time

[@wanderingdoggo]

Wow! Great idea! Maybe I'll try something similar, I have a lot of bamboo to use ;)

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Bamboo has so many uses

[@joekool79]

Could you sell me some bamboo?

[@Humancompassion1234]

This is awesome

Thank you, will combine this bamboo drip irrigation with a bamboo water wheel to "pump" water. from Palawan Philippines, God bless and thanks again!

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Hope it works out for you. Thanks for watching!

[@avijitgoswami3082]

I am also thinking about bamboo drip irrigation... Now seeing that video .. youtube reading minds !!!!!!!!

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

It works pretty well!

[@RaizenandYour]

Im wondering though when u don't have sustainable water sources,cause were a bit far from any river, we use hose in school but can't let us use it overtime so i was wondering how do i increase a capacity of water,im using a 10 litter bottle but it can only last like 2 hours

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Install a rain tank, use greywater, and harvest the rain in the soil with earthworks

[@Debra309]

I love your greenhouse and bamboo irrigation system!! Your plants are so healthy! The greenhouse is all screened in? I completely understand given rat lung and pests with ferocious appetites. May I ask how are the pollinators able to access your tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc?

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I plant varieties that dont need pollination for the ones that would ordinarily require pollinators. So far so good!

[@sunshinejenny777]

How do you split the bamboo? I love this irrigations system!

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I have a bamboo splitting tool. This article might help as well

[@8francesco]

fantastic!

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Mahalo!

[@vvgmhod4]

Terrific concept that I would like to use here in Arizona for the garden and also to direct condensation from the a/c into the pool. Any recommendations on where to order the appropriate kind of bamboo?

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Idk what you have there in Arizona. Hollowed out cactus?

[@vvgmhod4]

Am attempting to determine the best kind of bamboo to use for this kind of application, as well as a supplier. In the past, I was able to order 3" diameter bamboo for another project from Ace Hardware, but that is no longer an option.

[@ramguntha]

Very interesting. I was just thinking about bamboo drip system and then I came across your video. I have question: How did you make the holes in the bamboo?

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I used a drill. I think they were about as big as a pencil. Too big all the water runs through. Too small they get clogged

[@mybubblyheartshay8428]

Thank you 😊

[@ppg4667]

Whoa.. this mousetrap irrigation is pure genius. 5 stars dude.... one question tho, did you preserve the bamboo first or is it raw?

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

This one is raw. Still working for me 3 years later

[@ppg4667]

@@HomesteadinHawaii Good to know, gonna do that but attach some L brackets to it and attach it up high by the roofLine with a downspout going into a rainwater drum and voila bamboo gutters.🌴🙌🌴

[@Fjord66]

@@HomesteadinHawaiiexactly the question I was looking to ask- glad to know raw untreated bamboo works for drip irrigation

[@carissagalgano3484]

What tool did you use to score out the nodes? 🪴🙏

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

A grinding tool such as a Drexel can work nice. I used a hatchet, hammer and chisel

[@catwalkernyc]

This is great!!!!

[@santadam]

Nice!

[@Theabimon]

Useful thank you.

[@MargaretGbewordo]

You should have shown us how you made it

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

It’s pretty straightforward but I get it, next time

[@dylanmerigaud.]

Tought the same thing, it could be better I think if it was bellow ground and not cut, so there is no evaporation and the plant gets more water out of less water. Great stuff, thanks !

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

That is a good idea because I have to be sure its cleaned out from all the leaves that fall into it now. That might be version 2.0. Thanks for watching!

[@dylanmerigaud.]

After some research it might rot because Bamboo should not be in direct contact with wet soil, I'll test it anyway someday ;)

[@3000gtwelder]

Would you be interested in filming a piece of property for me that I bought?

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

I might be able to do that but not until.late July. Where is your property?

[@dallasward4825]

YES...BAMBOO IS IT...

[@edwardwright7164]

genius

[@HomesteadinHawaii]

Mahalo. They still work.almost a year later.

[@borisboris2487]

Wow ! I really like it. Thank you for sharing this amazing idea. Be blessed
