Right on, glad it helped! It’s intimidating at first but once you start breaking it down it’s not as complicated as it seems. Thanks for the feedback!

I hope it does. We need more farmers!

Yes would highly recommend. And I don't think they cost very much

Glad to hear it!

Really appreciate hearing that!

Thank you, really appreciate that!

Thanks man, just checked out your channel. Nice work! Gonna have to dig into some of your content when I get a sec.

No problem, thanks for watching and for the positive feedback!

I would put in a valve so you can drain the entire system, or atleast everything that is not burried underground.

@@GreenshineFarmers I would add that in our northern region, many landscapers use compressed air to blow out sprinkler lines (poly/PVC/galv) for winterizing. In fact, some people rig up a fitting that has an air compressor barb on one end and a male hose or NPT on the other to allow easy connection at season's end. Open up end of line, attach compressor line and blow it out. Haven't tried it yet myself so can't say how well it works with small compressors. Landscapers rent the big industrial trailer sized units (185CFM or so). Nice video btw.

Thanks Luke, really appreciate that! We're using the Mazzei E-Z Flo M584 injector. That's the 1 1/2" pipe. Been very solid. Here's a link: www.rainfloirrigation.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Page-31-32.pdf As for fertilizer I like to use Neptune's Harvest and then I add powdered mycorhizael fungi and beneficial bacteria. Could even add predatory nematodes or do a compost tea. Being able to fertilize through the drip lines has been a huge asset, especially with longer season fruiting crops like tomatoes, peppers, and hemp. Best of luck with setting up your system and reach our with any questions!

@@GreenshineFarmers thank you very much for the reply!!! I ended up going with the 484 for the larger hemp field and the 348 for the smaller fields. Love the Mazzei injector so far. Big shout out to Cal at Mazzei tech support...spot on and helped to dail in my setup. Good info on the liquid fertilizer. Nice and simple to the point. Some of these products can be pricey. Once again love the videos and thanks for sharing the knowledge to help us thrive and not just survive. ~Luke

Not sure the brand of well pump but I believe it’s 2 horsepower. When we use to pump water from the creek I used a little Honda pump that was pretty solid.

@@GreenshineFarmers Thank you. I'm going to set up a small market garden but having trouble deciding between drip or Senninger x-cel wobble sprinklers. They cover a huge area per sprinkler, typically 25ft depending on what coulour head you install in the sprinkler. Pro's & con's for both.

Thank you, I appreciate you watching!

Hard to say. Depends how much drip tape you need, etc. I would budget at least $1000

Thank you and welcome! Yeah I think you could, but you might want to run it through two filters before it enters the lines. We were pumping water from the creek back in the day and I never had any problems.

Greenshine Farmers awesome. I’m told by several suppliers that it’ll work, just like you said, need a very good filtration system though. I’ve got to do some testing and get my pressures right from gas pump too. That worries me bc I’d hate to install the system only to blow it apart after start up. We use big over head right now and it works good, but for our greens I don’t like it bc it’ll make sand and dirt get on leaves I sure do appreciate your response. I seriously LOVE your channel. Y’all are our kind of ppl❤️.

Hard to say without seen your setup but you can definitely use a drip system with gravity feed. Just depends how many drip lines you have in relation to your flow rate.

Thank you! I would talk to the people at Rain Flo. Their sales people are pretty knowledgeable and were able to answer most of my questions.

I water each plot on separate cycles. Each plot has around 30 beds with two lines per bed. Each bed is a 100ft long so roughly 5000-6000 ft of line per plot. Our well is 305 ft deep with a 30 GPM potential, however our pump is only 3 HP with 19 GPM (I just found our well invoice). 3HP and 19GPM is more than enough for what we're doing. The water pressure is insane and I only open the ball valves part way to help reduce the pressure. The pump fills a 350 gal tank so that it doesn't have to run continuously every time we turn on the water. I don't think there is any harm in having more pump than you need because as I understand it you can always throttle down the pressure. However I am by no means an irrigation expert and would recommend talking to both the sales reps at Rain Flo (or other irrigation supplier) in addition to whoever will be driling the well. Also not sure if this program exists in your area, but we got a grant through the Soil and Water department in our county that paid for 75% of the total cost. Very simple application and well worth the time.

@@GreenshineFarmers Thanks so much for the info. I'm on the right track now.

Rain Flo should have everything you need. They’re sales people are pretty knowledgeable as well

Much love. My best friend is from Pakistan. Hope to visit one day!

It came as a kit from Rain Flo

I think it is 16 gauge, but the new tunnels from Farmers Friend might be even more heavy duty than that. With the 16" lift kit addition, our tunnels are probably around 10ft at center. Which is definitely not tall enough for hemp if you plant anytime before June 15th (out here at least).. I think this year we'll aim for late June, early July depending on the variety and that will probably make it a little more manageable come Fall.

Just to add to this, why did you cover the hemp? Water moderation? Decrease in Sun Exposure?

Your gonna need water for it to work. I would recommend some sort of water catchment system for when it does rain or focus on growing drought tolerant crops.

I think that would get really expensive but you definitely could do it. Most corn farmers I know just typically wait for the rains to come

Weeds are a tough one and would definitely call us weed free (just looks that way lol). However there are steps you can take to control weeds and I think this should be one of our next videos. Thanks for the idea!

@@GreenshineFarmers Probably a little challenging with plastic water lines but I've seen where a farmer used a flame weeder along his greens beds and had one of those floor scrapers drywallers use to scrape drywall mud off the subfloors as a heat shield for the plants as he walked down the row----- long handle and ~ 30 to 36" wide metal blade. As usual, it works best on small newly growing weeds.

Charles Terrizzi this video was extremely helpful. Thank you and stay blessed.

We also grow hemp. Can find all our CBD products at www.akirabotanicals.com

Yes drip systems can be scaled up or down. Crop size doesn’t really matter. We grow everything from lettuce to 10ft tall hemp plants!

We have here in Ethiopia this type of Drip irrigation. If you need this type of drip irrigation you can contact me

Hemp..

Haha no it’s hemp. Same species but next to no thc so it’s legal here in NC. Check out Akira Botanicals too see our line of hemp products..

also 4:56

Everything is 100% legal. We get our plants tested before and after harvest to ensure we are below the 0.3% Delta-9 THC legal limit.

We’re part of the hemp pilot program in NC. Such an awesome plant to grow
