We use a lot of drip line on our flower farm, here is a bit of a "how to" tutorial on some things that will make setting up your watering system easier.

Brilliant video. I ran 500 feet of drip yesterday and will be running 500 more later in the season. I was wondering how to terminate the ends cheaply and you showed how. You now have another fan and follower.

Hey, if using drip tape do you still need to do foliar waterings? Or is the drip tape sufficient enough on its own

I wish I had seen this video before I purchased 8mm tape. It's almost impossible to install on the valve. I use rubberized gloves and still can't get it over the ridges. Live and learn. I will say, I have a tool that looks like pliers that punctures the hole in the main line, easy and don't have to carry a drill around. Thanks for the great information!

Starting from the water source to the final output. It will be helpful if you can reply me asap about the mainline diameter and what type of pipe you use.

Thanks for the great tutorial. Do you think a 1/2 inch poly tubing will work for 15 beds that are 75 feet long or should l buy 3/4 inch. I intend to buy the 15 mil drip tape. Also my garden is slightly sloped. Thank you.

I bought one system from Berryhill with drip tape for rows and several of the valves and end caps are leaking. I have tried to get a refund and I’m not getting anywhere with it. Can you use plumbers tape on the plastic Valve fittings to keep it from leaking?

There is a really cheap and accurate hole punch for putting the hole in the 1/2 inch pipe. I don’t think I would want to use a drill for that.

@RainDropFarms 4 ай бұрын

There are holes punches that usually ship with the valves. We like using the drill for ease, when putting in hundreds of valves it saves our hands and wrists, but the cheap one works just fine too!

Nice video. I suppose if you have a deep well clogging of emitters is not a problem, but do you have a filtration system too?

we do have a pretty robust filtration system, but even so we find that we need to replace the tapes every 2-3 years.
