What I've learned about burying drip tape in the soil is that the emitters will much more quickly clog. When the water is shut off, there is a slight vacuuming action that's occurs, and it briefly sucks air (and soil, if it's against the emitter) back into the tape, and this causes them to clog sooner. I've read that you can cover the tapes with something like woodchips without that same risk, if you want the protection from evaporation, although I haven't tried that myself yet.

For all you single string guitars laying out drip tape by yourself.

Great video Travis. Your detailed explanation of how to install the drip tape was excellent for a blind gardener. Thank you so much. Ken the blind gardner

What an informative presentation . I’m in Minnesota and have purchased from you guys; seeds, a golok, single wheelhoe with all the nice attachments. Next is a watering system. A little elbow grease and you’ll be feeding yourself with ease! You guys peddle very nice gardening materials!!

Excellent Video!! Thanks Travis!! I'll be calling you after the first of the year.

Great info! So happy I came across this video!

I love my drip tape for my garden. I use a metal pipe putting inside the hole, hammer the pipe into the ground then just pull the tape in the rows.

This is EXACTLY what I need. Thank you so much for the video

Best video ive seen yet on this. Thank you!!

Thanks for this video. I plan on purchasing a kit from you guys for this spring. Thanks again.

Thanks for the great tutorial.

Very informative Hoss. Thank you

I'm so trying drip this year!!!!

USA Zone 8A - I had trial plants of collards, turnip greens, kale and bok choy direct seeded into garden back 3rd week of July. 95+ degrees every single day until Oct 4th. They came up fine. Plants would limp over every single day and perk back up when sun passed by. Watered late afternoon so they could better recover from heat and leaves could dry before dark. Moth worms were bigger problem/should have netted the plants. The plants that survived worms are progressing nicely and really taking off this week in first break in heat (Oct 8)! Collards and kale almost a foot tall. Already harvested baby bok choy and succession harvesting turnip greens (4 harvests so far). Everything wilted every single day, but did fine. Just give them plenty of water as soon as sun is past to help them perk back up. Main crop in new Hoss seed trays is almost ready to plant. Anxious to compare when both old and new plants are in harvest stage. The July plants probably have been weakened compared to new ones planted in cooler weather. Will soon know.

I'm glad you started your own channel

Thanks - I needed to hear and see this.

You made it look so easy thanks bro

I've got to get this system applied to our plots, obviously more sufficient and effective than overhead sprinkler systems. I'm on well water, and it's comical setting the pressure. Turn it on, perfect at first, come back in couple mins., you're watering the folks across the street yard, car wash for all passing by, hanging ferns on the porch is watered, and the mail lady waits to make a dash for my mailbox with just one flier for Hoss Drip Irrigation Systems 😁😂🤣😇

I was just about to ask - (what if I don't want to water all my rows every time I turn on the drip system) Nice to know y'all sell a row start with an individual shut off valve, very nice.

Excellent informative video. I put mine in & love it but maybe I screwed up? I put my plants right next to each emitter that are 6” apart. Should have placed the plants in the center of each row 2-3” away from the emitter?
