I have always been so intimidated by drip irrigation, but I think I'm going to finally install it this year. Great topic, I'm sure there's more people out there like me who are so intimidated by the process.

[ramonajolley]

I just received my Mr. Landscaper irrigation kit. I'm excited to get it going. Thank Kim for the live video last week!!

[bethcranston]

I just ordered this and I’m so excited to set it up! I tried soaker hoses last year and it was a nightmare lol. Thanks for all your help, I’ve learned so much from watching your videos! ❤❤

[vee]

This kits looks way easier than all the others specially with the tool to push the little fittings, thank you 🙏🏻 Mac what a good helper you are ❤

[bubbles]

This couldn't have come any sooner. I've been planning this for years and couldn't get my husband to do ir for me. Well, now that we are getting divorced. I can do this myself. I have a tiner on my faucet right nedt to my rsised bed garden. This is the perfect solution and will be easy for me to do. I definitely will be ordering this. Less expensive than buying all the individual parts. Thank you for this!

Just the other day, I was installing the Greenstalk Spring watering systems in my three towers and had a wrestling match with the tubes. I eventually won, but it must have been comical to watch.🤣🤣🤣

Great video. I set up a bunch of raised beds last year and hand-watered in year one because I was a little overwhelmed with all of the options out there regarding drip irrigation. This all looks so manageable. I will be giving this a try. Thanks!

[rocky.usa]

I'm crossing my fingers. Going to try and install drip irrigation system this year.

[annbolandloveslife]

Oh, WOW! I loved this video and the demonstration. He has really taken the time to create something that is easy.

[sandreawhite]

I actually understood this. I’ve been so intimidated by drip irrigation systems. I have 57 Earth Boxes and three raised beds. I’ve got my Earth Boxes situated, but now I needed something for my raised beds. Now I found it.

[janinesmith]

I can't tell you how many issues you help us with in this episode. Our first raised beds have been an issue since conception. We now have a better understanding what our issues may be. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[toniastownhousegarden]

Hi Kim! I so appreciate you guys making this video...I am now confident that I CAN set this system up by myself. I haven't considered drip irrigation until now because I was afraid to do it wrong. I'm super excited to have won one of these on your past Live! I will be sure to share the difference it makes in my garden this year with you all. Thanks again!!!

[GardenHappy]

This video came at perfect timing. I’m actually thinking about adding drip irrigation to my garden. Yes I am one of the crazy people who waters by hand. Enjoy your Sunday, Kim and Jerry. 💙💚💛🧡💜 Liz

[keithrodz]

Good idea I'm might start using that for I don't have to worrying about watering 😊

[ShootingtheSoil]

With the large grass roots beds I found the bottom of the bed gets dry with only top water. Especially when raised off the ground for drainage. So I added PVC pipes with small holes drilled in them on top of my C/B horizon of clay rocks and volcanic stone. About 4 inches from the bottom. Then covered the pipes with my A horizon of soil. Pvc pipes stick out the side and can be connected to irrigation system or hand filled. Gets the plants to grow deep roots for that low water also.

We were literally looking for an upgrade to date video like this yesterday...

[CharlotteSchrahl]

This is the most detailed and filmed step by step I've found. Super helpful. Thank you!

[HeavenlyBackyardAstronomy]

This looks great (and easy, too). Thanks for this video, Kim

[kfetter]

Great video Kim! I want, I want, I want this!!😄

[Christian-jxnx]

I use soaker hoses because it’s cheap uncomplicated and effective but to each his own 😊
