I’m going to try mulch no-dig gardening . I live in the desert also with clay soil.
No pressure
Really enjoyed your video! Thanks for sharing. Will help me when setting up the watering in my garden. Nice!
U probably gota water over head if your trying to sprout seeds, but after the plants r big enuf, drip might be suitable.
I have installed enough underground and drip systems to 100% agree! In my opinion impact heads are by far the most cost effective way to go. I absolutely love your content!
so move
Zone 6 is high desert?
With what you said in the beginning, you literally just listed the reasons why a sprinkler system would be useless in your area unless you want to waste a lot of water soaking the entire area beyond the surface. Drip irrigation would actually be better than the system you're putting up with your conditions. You basically downgraded.

He be labeling them tubes just in case he needs to know "Where my hose at?!!"
I think he should cut his posts in half so the wind has no effect
How much more water does this use compared to drip? Is water not a consideration in the high desert? Central Valley California has frequent droughts and urban irrigation is severely limited. How do you cope? Water usage just not a problem?
Hey Curtis thanks for all of your videos! Wondering if you still think that sprinklers are better than drip?
You are watering the air.
I've been told not to use anything that gets water on the foliage. If you do that you are inviting mold and mildew growth.
OMG! Thank you for posting this!!! I see you still have your drip system. Do you still use both for different reasons? I live in SLC, UT. It's super dry.
Curtis i have 2 sprinklers like yours solid metal / brass but I can't figure out how to get them to spray evenly!! most of water is going long distance and very little near by.
Plants free of water deficit events more efficiently absorb available plant nutrients enabling plants to achieve their maximum genetic potential. SWRT membranes installed below plant root systems retain water where it falls, providing continuous delivery of
drought-free periods up to 3 times longer than intensely irrigated control sands without root zone water retention membranes (Guber et al, 2016).
you're wasting so much water that way. maybe you did not have enough drip irrigation to suffice for your growing needs. drip is the way to go. the guy in AZ who created cut curbs (and got the town to make them legal! imagine having to convince desert people how easy it is to collect water if you set your city up correctly!) does amazing stuff while living in a desert. he uses the water that's there and makes the ground in ways in which the water just flows. working with nature.
That is not what I would call an OVERHEAD irrigation system.
Hello Curtis. I´m Rui and follow you from Angola – Africa. Can you tell me what the crops you do, using the overhead sprinkler system? Thank you. All the best
Evaporation from overhead irrigation is much higher than surface irrigation. Overhead irrigation facilitates even distribution over the entire root zone. Water applied by overhead irrigation contains higher levels of dissolved oxygen and nitrogen.
Well done
I have a 20X80 garden and use two ratcheting sprinklers and water in the am before the sun hits it so it has time for the leaves to dry.
Thanks for this Curtis! I too, have TOTALLY had it with drip! I've had quite a few line blowouts and breaks, some of which while I've been away. I have half of my garden (vertical crops) in drip and needed a solution for the other half, which is all raised beds, something I was not looking forward to drilling into. This is the perfect solution. Thanks for all the exact pressure and degree and timing info. I'm going on vacation tomorrow. Hoping to install a jury rigged version of this today. I have hesitated to do overhead since I like to turn off the water on certain crops like garlic and potatoes when they're ready to harvest. Has the overhead irrigation impacted crops like that or are you just so dry up there?
4 years late, but on those Rainbird impacts you need to change the swing arm spring to the looser setting if you use the red or black nozzles.
Check their YouTube channel for instructions.
Have to give credit to the guy,,,, he knew how to properly wrap teflon tape around the threads. Not as much can be said about some other do it your-selfers on youtube
I love the way the sprinklers sound.
