NEVER use a Garden SPRINKLER Again!!! Installing Drip Irrigation!

Summer heat is coming and soon the GARDEN will need WATERING. Don't spend hours hand watering with a watering can, hose wand, or sprinkler. Try an awesome solution that is healthier for your plants...a drip tape irrigation system. It's SO MUCH easier than it seems. After we get that set up, we can START PLANTING!

Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 2 new videos every week! Tuesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

I realize I am a total LT addict this morning, even though I’m not a farmer: I watched you putting in your first tomatoes and “told” you to put in some of your secret ingredient - rabbit manure!!! Congratulations and best wishes for this new season. JDBurns

You two are amazing and such an inspiration. I NEVER thought I would/could do some of the projects and things I am doing. It is all because of your incredible teaching skills and sweet disposition.

I planted our 30 tomato plants along with some herbs yesterday. We’re doing hugel gardening with logs, leaves we saved in the fall , old hay and straw then soil and compost on top. I got 64 pumpkins out of 9 seeds last year doing this method. Our aged compost has chicken manure - like gold I say. Happy planting everyone. Putting seeds in today. Happy Memorial Day too.

Oh well, there is always next year :) Thank you for being such a great source of inspiring information. Yes I would Love to see what else you are planting. This is my first year trying to grow a years worth of food. So it is wonderful getting all the great little tricks and tips. Take care and keep smiling :)

[@billmandaue2168]

The screw-type cap at the far end of the main pipe is there so you can drain all water out of the pipe to prevent freezing.

[@donnashipley3632]

No, it's so the system builds up water pressure to move h2o through the drip tape.

[@chris3m98]

Thanks for the info! It serves 2 things?

[@edwardgatter4610]

Three actually.......if you’re not using mains water and there is fine silt or organic matter in your water it’s a good idea to flush the system out periodically before it bungs up completely.......fine silts can pass through the normal filter meshes ..... very fine filters will reduce the flow and pressure.......maybe too much!!!!!

[@robyngoern3115]

I definitely want to see what you are growing xx I love you guys xxxxxxxxxx

[@animistchannel2983]

Used coffee grounds also make a great soil treatment at planting time, especially for these tropical/jungle plants that come from high-organic acid soils, trying to make it in clay ground. Just mix some spent grounds with your backfill, and it will also draw in more worms & subsurface symbiotes to enrich the soil. If you compost, mix the grounds through that as well. Everybody loves coffee :)

I was just thinking the other day that maybe we wouldn’t have as many weed in our garden if we weren’t using sprinklers. Was thinking we needed to get drip hoses. Never knew they made drip tape like this! Our garden will be completely transformed next year! Oh and that auger is genious!!!! Thanks for sharing what you have learned with our family!

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

It was developed as one time use on large scale operations and they buried it. But of corse it gained popularity with home gardens and homesteaders and if you take care of it you can use it a few years.

Last year, or the year before, Kevin and Sarah did a video about how they plan their garden and time throughout the year. Building in things like processing meats, garden planting, etc. It's quite elaborate but saves them so much time the following year. It's quite a good video for those who have trouble planning things, or figuring things out.

Your homestead is set up in an excellent manner. I would be interested in knowing what your yearly costs is to raise your own meat, dairy, fruit and vegetables. I would also be interested in what your yearly expenses are for the items you can not raise yourself.

[@straubdavid9]

When I get ready to plant my tomatoes I clip all those lower leaves off all plants at once, so I don't have to fiddle with each individual plant in the garden. I also clip them off with scissors, so as to avoid damaging the main stem in any way. I do all my suckers the same way ... with scissors. I also cut off my peppers, tomatoes etc instead of twisting/breaking them off the plant. Of course I can choose to do it that way because I don't have as many plants as you do. I think it is much easier to clip off beans/cucumbers etc and not fight with the plant to remove them. I see so many people struggling with removing beans/peppers etc, that I can't believe they aren't just snipping them off. YMMV ... you've got it down to a system. Although I enjoy the whole gardening process, I do try to streamline some of the smaller steps along the way. Take care you guys.

[@ileanafigueroa8685]

Super Kevin and Sarah, you two are amazing hard workers and very intelligent, thanks for explaining the whole process to all of us.

[@cjhutch5485]

I don't want to miss a thing! Please film all your planting. I've learned so many new things from you. At first, it looks like so much work, but I can sure see why a little effort in the beginning saves a ton of time and work in the end! God bless you and your family. 💕

Perfect timing. I just ordered my drip irrigation system like 2 days ago. Seriously how did you guys know!😂. Anyway, glad you mentioned about the end clips for the drip tape because I don't think mine came with any.

[@fishnlady]

I save money on end clips by just cutting a 1 inch piece of the tape then when you fold the ends up I squeeze them together and slide the piece of drip tape over the end. Works perfectly.
