I learned about drip irrigation technique in my book and got curious and I wanted to witness it but no video could show me the inside view. This video cleared my doubts😁😁😁

It's a pretty simple build. Just some Ohia Logs on the four corners, some header wood, bracing and a roof framed on top to hold it all together, Then I added an old security door I had onto it. But I could try get it in a video in more detail.

This is great!!!!

I love your greenhouse and bamboo irrigation system!! Your plants are so healthy! The greenhouse is all screened in? I completely understand given rat lung and pests with ferocious appetites. May I ask how are the pollinators able to access your tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc?

@HomesteadinHawaii

I plant varieties that dont need pollination for the ones that would ordinarily require pollinators. So far so good!

Very interesting. I was just thinking about bamboo drip system and then I came across your video. I have question: How did you make the holes in the bamboo?

@HomesteadinHawaii

3 жыл бұрын

I used a drill. I think they were about as big as a pencil. Too big all the water runs through. Too small they get clogged

Whoa.. this mousetrap irrigation is pure genius. 5 stars dude.... one question tho, did you preserve the bamboo first or is it raw?

Im wondering though when u don't have sustainable water sources,cause were a bit far from any river, we use hose in school but can't let us use it overtime so i was wondering how do i increase a capacity of water,im using a 10 litter bottle but it can only last like 2 hours

Install a rain tank, use greywater, and harvest the rain in the soil with earthworks

Terrific concept that I would like to use here in Arizona for the garden and also to direct condensation from the a/c into the pool. Any recommendations on where to order the appropriate kind of bamboo?

Am attempting to determine the best kind of bamboo to use for this kind of application, as well as a supplier. In the past, I was able to order 3" diameter bamboo for another project from Ace Hardware, but that is no longer an option.

Tought the same thing, it could be better I think if it was bellow ground and not cut, so there is no evaporation and the plant gets more water out of less water. Great stuff, thanks !

That is a good idea because I have to be sure its cleaned out from all the leaves that fall into it now. That might be version 2.0. Thanks for watching!

After some research it might rot because Bamboo should not be in direct contact with wet soil, I'll test it anyway someday ;)
