DRIP IRRIGATION TROUBLESHOOTING - Fixing blowouts and identifying problems with drip tape systems

This video shows how I troubleshoot problems with my drip line irrigation system in the crop area. Special thanks to my sweet and inquisitive videographer. As always, any feedback to help me improve and learn is always appreciated!

See the other videos on my channel showing the entire process I documented for my first season through to harvest. Happy Farming!

That’s exactly what I did this morning. The duct tape method. It didn’t work so you have shown me what to do not. Thank you so much.

Thinking about using drip irrigation for my tomatoes next year. Thanks for sharing this!

I had a hole in one of my drip tape rows. I did not have anything to fix it with. but I sprayed it with flex seal and it actually sealed it up. I out two coats on letting it dry between the coats. Be sure to clean it well first.

I always left about a foot and a half stick outside the of the mulch on the ends and I would walk the distal ends to see if the pressure was good. That told me if there was a problem somewhere between that end and the source. I quit using end caps too and just folded the end of the drip tape a couple of times and stuck it inside of about a 3 inch piece of drip tape that I pre-cut.

I have 6 small backyard raised beds using 3 lines of drip tape in each bed. Some sections of the drip tape runs don't discharge water although the pressure seems adequate. Can the drip tape emitters be "unclogged" or must I replace the (apparently) faulty sections? Thank you for your tips in this video - even though I small "taters" it hellps me.

What brand of drip tube did you get and where from..?? Spacing between drippers..? Also spacing of plants and row width.... my first time doing this and learning... seen a 4'x4' grid is good??
Thanks...

I have the same drip tape, what size is your coupling (if that is what is was called?) thank you

Cool same tractor how many hours I'm at 100 no issues.

When watering do you give them pure water or is there any type of nutrients going through the drip tape?

[MR-gimd]

Wondering if you have checked your water pressure at your hydrant? I have to use a pressure reducer at my hydrant.

Are you growing hemp this year? I've decided to only grow a small field because of the price. I'm seeing 0.80 per point
