Thank you for being so thorough. Your info and examples are very helpful.

Great set up.

Haha! A kindred spirit. My wife and I were watering by hand morning and evening diligently, but I was in med school, she was full time at the local community college, and we were venders at two local farmers markets besides. We knew there had to be a better way. Thank you for sharing!

This video was extremely helpful. I shared the same exact sentiments as u in the beginning of your video, most of all what to do when we go on vacation. The soaker hose saved me. I learned alot of tips in your video, including the snip and drip connector. I wish I had known such a thing existed before I setup my soaker hoses to my beds. Do u have a video going into more detail how to cut soaker hoses or extend them? Also should soker hoses be buried or layed on top?

@fromdreamtoseed

Ай бұрын

Glad it helped! I lay my soakers under my mulch. I guess they do get buried a bit when I hill my potatoes. I don’t think I have videos on repairs, but I just use those connections I showed. I just cut out the damaged area and reattach it with a connector. So basically, the connector takes the place of the damaged area. To extend, I just take off the end cap, add a connector, hose, and then replace the end cap. I am, however, currently switching up most of watering system in my raised bed garden to watering grids. They are all weather and can stay out during winter. I still use soakers on some beds. More on that in a future video.

This is the most helpful video I have seen to learn about soakers and using a splitter - thank you! I have been hand watering almost daily (unsuccessfully on work commute days) for a few years and it’s time to find an easier way. I have a garden bed on one side of the spigot and landscaping on the other side, so your complete system looks like it could work for my setup as well. I had been looking at the snip-n-drip system and I’m glad to hear it works well. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video :) Do you happen to have a new link for the hose? It looks like the one you posted is not longer available.

for end caps on soak-er hose just fold the hose back on itself and use a tie wrap/twine ... to pinch it closed like a permanent kink.

Welcome! Yes, even pressure is always an issue. I’m still making adjustments every year, but the basic setup is the same. The longer the hose the most change in pressure.

This is so helpful. I have 14 raised beds in my back yard and I have been hand watering or depending on rain, which isn’t enough, now that I watched your watering video. I’m going to try to set up a hose watering system for the four beds furthest away from my faucet and see how that goes. Question: do you put a filter on your hose to reduce chemicals?

What I never understand about drip irrigation is, unless you’re watering in the early morning only, at least where I am in Texas (which is already getting hot out there), the water coming out of the hose is scalding after it sits in the sun for any length of time. How does this work to keep your plants from getting scalding water? Anyone with a solution, thanks for your input.❤

I'm building a veg box business at a local secondary school. I will have an irrigation system in a 54ft polytunnel and now I have seen your video I will have a soaker hose system in the raised bed. But I am off grid and our water will come from tanks with a pump, will this be a good system with the soaker hoses? Off to check out the rest of your videos. This one was brilliant, you are very engaging. Thank you.

I have 4 raised beds, was looking at soaker hoses for vacation and just make watering easier. Problem is, I don't know the best way to use these things. I live in Florida so I don't want to drill into my metal raised due to rust. They're 4 x 6 ft. About 2ft apart.. where did you get your small hoses and link couplers etc? What length do you use and what do you mean you move the hose?

@fromdreamtoseed

Жыл бұрын

You won’t need to drill into them. The soaker hoses lay on top. I have hose connections and the beginning of each watering “zone” and then two raised beds connected in each zone. So I’m moving the hose to the soaker hose connection in each zone every day. Length depends on the size of the bed. Soaker hoses are usually sold on rolls and you cut to length. They make connectors and end caps that you can use to attach pieces or stop. Links to everything I mentioned are in the description box. If you click “more” by the caption under the video title and scroll down you should see them. Let me know if you have any more questions or can’t find the links! 💚

I don’t have a pressure gauge on my spigot so can’t say for sure. I do use a timer so once the pressure is set I leave it there. I look for uniform water beading along the hose. It’s definitely a low pressure for soakers. Too high and they split. For higher pressure, I use my drip lines.

What brand is that expanding hose?

@@fromdreamtoseed awesome thanks for the reply 👍

I feel like the schoolboy in the corner and a cone shaped hat on for punishment. Some of the you tube sites add a water pressure regulator to keep the water from blowing off the hoses or shooting water into the air from the porous hose. I have installed a regulator in the system, only to have the water to shoot into the air until I turn the splitter valve part way down. You and most of the other gardeners don't use the regulator and have great luck. Would you or any of your followers have an idea of what my problem might be? Have a good evening.

In my own experience the Gardeners Supply hose system is junk; specifically the soaker hoses. I would never buy again. And, I have also used the same quick connect hose connectors and I also feel they are trash, unfortunately. Gardening is a lot of trial and error I guess, but for the price of these items they should work much better. Others may have had a different experience, of course. But, my experience with these two products was extremely poor.

That’s a shame! I’ve had a great experience with them. Going on year 3 and no issue outside of normal wear and tear for soaker hoses. Every brand I’ve tried will have small leaks over time. I’ve had less with the GS ones. Easy repair though. It’s sort of the nature of soaker hoses. But the connection systems haven’t had any issues so far.
