I don't see the links to the products you mentioned in the video. Can you please repost it? Thanks a lot

@@yuegao1842 In the video description if you scroll down about half way I list the products I discuss along with a link to each product on Amazon 😊🌱

[@ajl8615]

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. 😊🌱

[@grimslepers]

@@InTheGarden I was a fan of the music! haha it was a good style choice

[@mlee40738]

I've been watching many of these videos about DIY drip irrigation installation while planning my own, and I must say this was the most comprehensive and helpful I've seen. Thanks!

[@InTheGarden]

Thank you 😊 happy it was helpful 😊🌱

[@grimslepers]

i'm blown away by the quality of your video, it was clearly well planned and executed. It is a real commitment to water your veggies day and night in the hot months and I cannot thank you enough for providing me with all the necessary information for successful hands free watering! absolutely subscribed and going to catch up on more content.

[@MichaelCugudda]

Awesome job, this answered most of all my questions in an easy manner. I have an automatic drip system off my sprinkler box valves, that was installed over 17 years ago, that I haven't used in in over 10 years. Lots of things have changed including new Birdie raised garden beds I'm installing and several new trees and two old ones that are gone. I'll need to dig up the old line, but this was a great refresher course. Thank you! Subscribed

[@l.lucitt4023]

This video is simple, but incredibly easy to follow. I appreciate that it doesn't feel like I'm watching an ad for a bunch of different products. You are concise and to the point, and thorough and you have gained a subscriber in me! Thank you!

[@InTheGarden]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 😊🌱

[@michaeld.3779]

THANK YOU, watching this made me realize I only bought 1/4" tubing and connectors, never thought about adding a 1/2" tube first as a general area line. Time to make a trip to the hardware store!

[@bestsk8eva]

this is what I was looking for. Thank you for educating some of us who are new to the dripping system

[@camilleward9157]

Thank you for the clear instructions and breakdown. I’ve seen a bunch of drip videos and they all seemed kind of intimidating still but this is like ‘drip for dummies’ and I appreciated it. i feel like I can actually do this myself now.

[@InTheGarden]

I'm happy you found the video helpful ☺ it's easy to be intimidated at first, but with a little patience, anyone can set one up. thanks for watching 😊🌱

[@noornaveed5821]

I’ve been researching diy drip irrigation system best suited for my garden. I was still very confused as to what an emitter was or an adapter until I watched Youre video!

Great vid. Please consider removing the background music or at least making it much quieter, because it's so very (almost painfully) distracting throughout.

Thank you. I planted a new lemon tree in Arizona in March and I was worried it wouldn’t get enough water when I go back home to Utah. I’ll be setting up the drip system this weekend. You explained everything perfectly.

[@MontereyPhoto]

Great video! Thank you

[@EarthSojourner]

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. May your good karma return to you seven-fold. -- from Port Angeles, Washington in the USA on the Canadian border.
