In this video I’ll show you how I’m installing a very efficient and affective automatic irrigation system for our vegetable garden.

Really enjoying your videos!! We live on 2 acres and the garden will be all the way at the back of the property and the spickets/well are all the way in the front of the property. Any recomendations how to get the water from the house to the garden so I could install something like this??
I have 8×4 raised beds with 1 riser in each bed connected to my auto underground irrigation. Can I use this system in a raised bed using poly tubing as the header? Or w/it be better to use the emitter tubing in place of soaker hose like the application you show in simple irrigation??
You you only water twice a week for 1 hr?
That soil is so soft it makes my mouth water.
Ok I don't think anyone else asked yet: Why the loops? Why not have 4 deadend runs instead of 2 loops?
Just move to the piney woods of East Texas and you’ll never have to worry about watering ever again lol
For me my supplier is LEE VALLEY TOOL GARGEN. This is an FYI i am not associated in any way with them and this is were i buy my gardening supplies.
are you able to use a chlorine filter with this setup using the traditional sprinkler valves? Do you think it's worth it or necessary to work a filter into this system?
Very efficient! Thank you! In which state is the Urban Farmstead located? I am in southern Utah, a desert area, so as I watch your videos, I can determine if the tips are applicable in the sparse water, desert heat environment.
What is better soaker hoses or emitter lines?
I am a beginner, in Iran. I have recently bought a new property for my horses & I would like to grow every kind of vegetables.
I truly need to thank u for ur videos.
U have been a HUGE help.
This is nice so my hands can have retirement.
Kyle, what was the adapter you used to connect to the 3/4” distribution lines? I couldn’t find it on your Amazon page.
I have a large garden spot, but would like to do the walkway as you show, but what happens at the end of the season, can the wood chips be rototilled back into the garden or does the cardboard or weed sheet need to be pulled out to be replaced next year? Am definately doing the irrigation system?? thank you for your informative videos!!
Great video. I searched the comments but couldn’t find my answer. Does this type of system have have a pressure regulator installed like other drip systems or is it full pressure?
Do you have any ideas for irrigation set ups for raised beds? I'd love to be able to hook them up to a timer when we are away from the house for a few days.
Awesome video! Appreciate the content – will work great in my raised bed.
Every year I tweak the system I have, by no means professional, to try to make it work better since we are away at our cottage for weeks at a time during the summer, but I still want gardens at home. Thanks for more ideas on how to make it work.
Can I run this system off of my normal yard spigot? Also how many feet can you run of the 1/2 inch emitter line off of one water source?
Thanks, lot of information to start own farming
Awesome video Kyle, I'm absolutely loving the way your garden is turning out, it looks very efficient. But, I have one critique…not regarding your garden, but with you. I noticed that when you are talking to the camera, you sway a lot, for example from 8:49 – onward. It really isn't a big deal, but I'm a consultant for businesses looking to enhance their image, marketable appeal on social media, presenting & directing TV commercials, creating efficiency thru organization, designing the best floor layout for companies that need help when they've just purchased a new facility/office space, etc.
When you're standing in one spot you tend to shift your weight from one foot to the other. I don't know if you have a cameraman assisting with your recordings or not, from watching your videos it doesn't look like you do. One of the basic fundamental rules for shooting a person in a TV commercial or recording the host of a tv show, game show or daytime tv show, is training the host to stand flat footed in one spot when talking to the camera. Because swaying from one foot to the other while being recorded creates an unwarranted subconscious impulse response from the cameraman to sway as well to follow the movement of the person they're recording. This can create vertigo, dizziness or a distraction for the people watching the show. So when your standing up talking to the camera try not to shifting your weigh from one foot to the other. Just an observation and constructive criticism.
I tried to find the video about converting the Sprinker head for drip irrigation but could not find it, i want to use the one of the unused sprinkler head for drip irrigation
You mention that you water once a week for an hour. Do you do daily waterings as wee?
So it just dripping water ALL at same time ? There's no pressure issue ?
That's a great system! You mentioned that you water twice a week: Any idea what your total water use is in gallons per week?
Thank you.. very well explained
How often do I need to run my system to water fruit trees using the .5gph emitter tubing?
Excellent guidance. Thanks a lot for this.
Teflon tape? Isn't that gonna introduce PFAS toxins into your garden?
Why do you circle the lines back into the same 3/4 supply?
