Just finished a very similar system last week. Only difference is the first 40 feet uses a regular hose since my garden is so far from the faucet. End of the season I pull the hose and made a air hose adapter to blow out the system after taking the end cap off. We will both see how it turns out.

Adding drip gave me back so much time! I try to invest in things to save time and make it easier. This year I got a hoselink and makes pulling out my hose so easy!

If you have an irrigation system in your yard... I built my garden and where there were originally sprinklers, took them out and replaced it with a filter, pressure regulator, and then ran swing pipe and drip lines appropriately. This is nice because I just have it all connected to my irrigation timers so its all fully automated.

This looks really great! Thank you for sharing!

Note: The battery operated timers die quickly in high heat/direct sun. Approximately a 3-6 month life span in places were temps reach over 100F consistently as well as batteries depleting quickly.
I recommend to use a back up if lives depend on this timer. Probably have a human check up on them if you can't. ❤

I did something similar, but I used 1/2 inch PVC pipe for my pumpkin mound. Of course mine is way smaller than your setup but hey it works, hands free watering 👍

Nice setup! How often and for how long do you water? Are the drip lines 0.5 GPH?

If I have rainwater collection how and what pump can I use to get water pressure out to my garden???

[EthanLandau]

Thoughts on wifi vs normal digital timer?

Nice!! Do you have a step by step tutorial of how you connected them? I don’t know where or what to order. Or is there a tutorial on YT that tells you what each part is and what it’s used for?

[maryiorio]

Could you please reveal the brands you used and where you found them?

How can you cover so much area with just one line? I have lots of problems with the emitters clogging over time.

My garden is about 50 yards from my hydrant, can I run a hose to my garden and attach all the gadgets there or do they need to be connected directly to the hydrant?

[lpmoron]

How do those lines hold up in the sunlight?

what is the point of gardening then if you are not out there watering and checking on your plants

[jenniferwalters]

This is I think what I’m going to need to get from my water source to the garden. It’s several feet uphill and I was hoping I could connect my drip hose to a regular garden hose. Can I? If not what tubing would I run to get me all the way up to the plants? Thank you. Oh! And I’m experimenting with a bed that is on the way (trying to terrace but it’s Nothin full sun so I may move that.)

Do u really need the backflow preventer? Id say the water pressure coming out of the tap and also the distance to the beds would stop any dirt going back into your water lines.

Where is the contamination going to come from?
