Why do you need to have music in the background when you are doing important teaching activity ? Its a distraction and noisy.

[@InTheGarden]

@@ajl8615 Hi Aileen, I know I enjoy when videos have background music so I've tried to include that in my videos. I know in some of my videos, especially my first ones, the music is too loud. I'm still really new to KZbin and video editing so I'm working on getting it right. I also know that not everyone likes music in the background and that's ok. I hope you still got something from the video and I appreciate you taking the time to give your feedback as it helps me to improve so my videos can be helpful and enjoyable for as many people as possible. 😊🌱

I've read and watched so many things that seemed like geometry or Legos or something I know nothing about and don't even want to know, so I was sure I'd need to pay $$$$ US to someone. I still might, but this is the first explanation that I mostly understood and that made it seem not so daunting, maybe even something I can do myself. Plus, you explained it all in less than 20 minutes! I cannot thank you adequately for doing this video and making it available free.

Thank you so much for this fantastic video. I now know how to go about to set up my system. I have a big garden with lots of plants so was feeling overwhelmed.

[@nolagirl7082]

Hello! My name is Christina and I’m a new gardener. Last year I created my first ever garden beds in my front yard. It was a LOT of watering and I told myself next year I’m installing drip irrigation. I watch Laura from Garden Answer all of the time and she’s always raving about how helpful the drip irrigation is. But unfortunately she doesn’t have too many videos on the subject and the main video she has was made over four years ago! And I’m pretty sure it was a paid proven winners video, which I’m not knocking, we all have to make our money, but I’m always weary with sponsored videos. I’ve been looking on Amazon and Home Depot for a kit, but a lot of them have a bunch of stuff I won’t need. I think I’m just going to end up purchasing everything individually. Thank you for including Amazon links. It’s so appreciated! And almost all of the items were still available(the orbit hole puncher kit was not available). I can’t even tell you how much I appreciated this video. You are such a good teacher! You should really think about teaching a gardening class or something. I just watched your video, writing everything down and listening intently to every word you said. I really appreciated the fact that not only did you go over all of the details, but then you showed us exactly how you were hooking up all of the pieces to your hose. I keep seeing a lot of KZbin videos where people will sit at a table and just hold up the pieces while trying to explain it. It’s so much more helpful when you can see the exact set up, connected to the hose. I think the only thing I’m going to do different from you is instead of running quarter inch tubing with emitters on the end going to each plant, I’m going to get the 1/4” tubing with holes every 6 inches and run that around all of my flowers and shrubs. But even though I’m doing it slightly different than you, the video was so helpful, it really was! I can’t thank you enough🌻🌸

[@InTheGarden]

Wow, thank you so much! This made my day, I'm happy the video was helpful. Thanks for watching 😊🌱

[@InTheGarden]

I just drain mine and leave it in place, however, It doesn't get quiet that cold where I am, typically 20s is our lowest. It may be better for you to remove and store over winter unless you can be sure it is completed drained and dried out. Even a drop of water in an emitter can cause damage if it freezes.
