Hi, everyone! I had several people asking about drip irrigation and today's video goes into extensive details of the products I use, converting an existing sprinkler system to drip, connecting drip directly to your hose bibb, discussing cost, and other tips and tricks along the way. Stay tuned to the end for a blooper! I will provide more videos on drip irrigation throughout the season as I create new beds and/or set up additional beds on drip irrigation, so don't forget to like and subscribe and hit the bell for notifications!
