Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!! I will be applying a lot of the same techniques for the raised beds I just built. But you sold me specifically on the elevated psi being sent to the beds before further pressure reduction, as well as a valve at each bed to throttle the water up or down for watering adjustments. I was planning on installing a blow-out at each bed to get the water out of the lines, ( with the assist of compressed air), but again agree with you that it might be better to disconnect and hang them up in a more controlled environment for the winter. Again, thanks!!!

Looks neat and competent. My hesitation is at the end of season if you want to refresh and turn the soil over it gets in the way and you have to disturb it and replace in back in place every year or season you turn the soil. I like how they work but will stick with hose and watering can for now as my beds are not large nor numberous. Your installation is really great looking.

@HomesteadandChill

Жыл бұрын

We don't turn over our soil, we cut out our plants at the soil line and leave their roots in place to decompose and turn into organic matter. To amend our soil in between seasons, we sprinkle amendments over the top of the soil, lightly scratch it into the surface, add more compost on top for added mulch and we are good to go.

Great tutorial! I'm literally copying everything you are doing lol. I have not moved into the new house just yet but I'm designing my outdoor space now. I've modified some of my plans because of your designs. I can't thank you enough, now I don't have to reinvent the wheel!

Great info. Thanks. I think I'll try the drip tape. The new boxes looked awesome. I did notice, in the latter part of the video, pressure treated wood used with the narrow and older boxes. Probably not a good idea, even if it was just used to tie the corrugated steel panels together. It wears off and mixes with the soils.

Thank you so much and hopefully drip tape irrigation works out well for you. In regards to the other raised beds with pressure treated wood and corrugated steel, the previous owners were the ones who built them or had them built, we just inherited them. We haven't had the time nor the energy to replace them just yet but may do so in the future.

Just discovered your video, Very good info. As a suggestion you can eliminate the PVC primer when using "Blue Glue." Most PVC glue is clear. The reason your glue is blue is because it contains its own primer. You can save time and money.

I really enjoyed the video , I want to install a drip system like yours , but my water supply Is rather far from my raised beds . I would need to use a raised platform with 50 gal water barrels on them to supply my water, my garden is about 20’ x 24’ , I am just concern about the height of the platform to make sure that all my plants get water . Would you have any idea on how high the platform need to be for this to work . Thanks for any ideas or improvements to my system to make it work . Thank you JimE.

I'm so glad I found you on youtube! Many vids on creating raised garden beds, but you are the first that I found that discussed setting up drip irrigation.. Question: what if I bury the drip tube into the bed? Say 6" I'm in NJ, this will save me having to take it out for the winter and for root veggies it might be better?

@HomesteadandChill

Жыл бұрын

I am not sure if burying the drip tape only 6" is enough for a NJ winter. I believe the best practice for any drip irrigation system in cold climates is to clear all the tubing and valves of water before freezing weather hits, removing the irrigation system from the garden and storing them indoors through the winter will also extend the life of your irrigation system. Our drip tape is usually under an inch or so of mulch but it was left uncovered to illustrate the system and set up for this video.

Helpful video! If we m using 1/2” drip line from the faucet, is there a 15 psi regulator for 1/2” in, 1/2” out?

@HomesteadandChill

2 жыл бұрын

You only need the 15 psi regulator if you are using drip tape in your beds. If you are using standard 1/2" drip tubing in your beds, you only need a 25 psi pressure reducer. We have found that you may need to use adapters to convert from 1/2" to 3/4" before converting back to 1/2". For more in depth information and other alterations you can make, check out our article on the topic: homesteadandchill.com/install-drip-irrigation-raised-beds/

Greetings I built a raised bed garden and ordered exact supplies in this video. My bad is completed and ready for veggies. My question is what is your recommended watering schedule? Thanks for your time and consideration in advance.

@HomesteadandChill

Жыл бұрын

The number or times and duration of the watering really depends on the climate that you live in. If you live in an area with dry summers but frequent temperatures in the 90's and 100's, you may have to water more often and longer than someone who lives in North Carolina who may still experience hot temperatures, but still receives occasional rain. We have our drip setup to water twice a week on Tuesday and Friday and we run the irrigation system for about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes. Our summer temperatures are typically in the high 60's to high 70's with overnight lows in the 50's. The best way to figure out your schedule is to water for a set amount of time and for the next few days, check your soil moisture and see how well it retains the moisture, you don't want it to dry out but you don't want it to be soggy either. A good inch or two of mulch on top (we us a barky compost) will also help your soil retain its moisture and protect your drip tape from the sun.
