Jason, I have watched half a dozen drip tape videos this season and you described all of the steps to being successful with this system better than all of them. Thank you my friend.

Hi ya Jason, we use drip irrigation in Australia, you need to mulch the beds so they don’t dry out so easily

Agreed!

Jason you crack me up with your creative videos!!! First you put the camera on the ground and your face is popping through the plants while you put in the drip line! LOL. Then you end hand feeding a Bernice a grub!! I just LOVE your humor!!!

In my experience, the cauliflower always takes longer than the green broccoli. Just as the red cabbage takes longer than the green.

The music for that grub snatch and run at the end was editing perfection. Your garden is the best on the Tubes this year. Don't tell Al and Ben. 😛

Sow the Land is admired far and wide. Me, I just love your unpretentious relating of life on your farm.

Thanks! You love your land, your animals and most of all, family. It shows in everything you do. You are a kind, gentle and relaxing family and I appreciate that so much.❤

Doing the drip tape I heard singing! Gardening is supposed to be both physically and mentally therapeutic. :) With Aloha...

Laughed out loud at the one brave chicken there at the end. Courage paid off!

Just a reminder when you use drip tape the holes in the tape go on top. it helps it not get blocked.

Hey Jason, When using drip tape you want the emitter holes to be facing up. It helps the drip emitters remain unclogged. ❤

Congratulations on your drip tape irrigation! That is a time saver for you guys! Have you tried pickled beets? Just cook them for 20 min whole in the pressure cooker. Cool down, peal them, dice them and place thembin a jar with apple cider vinegar, salt. Refrigerate them, add them tovyour salads, falafel sandwiches, whatever. So yummy!

Lol. Pickled beets are the things of nightmares for those of us that have the best taste like dirt gene. Gratefully, I didn't get the cilantro gene!

I hate to correct anything you are doing, but the emitters in the drip tape should face up. Great job!!! So happy for y'all!

You are correct. The reason you want the emitters facing up is so all of the tubing fills with water first. Otherwise you will have weak watering at the far end of your irrigation lines, if at all.

I really like the way you have set up your beds. The shorter direction, rather than the longer. More access to veggies,

Bernice! Loved the clip at the very end - and the music went perfectly with it! Your veggies are looking fantastic!

I love ALL Sow the Land videos!

Hi, Jason and Lorraine! Excellent DIY video. You were both thorough and precise. No more hauling buckets of water. YAY!!!!!

Jason. The water line trenching was epic. That took some patience. God Bless

Lol love the way that chicken just stanched the grub ❤

The quick bird gets the worm!

The "Veggie Boys" channel uses drip irrigation for all the hanging plants in the green houses. A real time saver. Time for me to grow some of my own food again. Nothing beats a fresh green bean. With Aloha...

this is a GREAT drip tutorial. One of your best yet. Thank you for sharing!

Never have used a drip tape or hose. But I sure like the idea you have a great set up. The broccoli and cabbage look awesome. God bless.

*SMILES* Huge congrats on your drip tape garden! Great big 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for your homestead! Thanks very much for your vids! Happy Days! ☀️😄👏🥰🤗🙏👩‍🌾🧑‍🌾

Bernice taking the bug! Priceless!❤😂

i just love watching you guys. i get good info from it and a few good chuckles too.

Excellent screen shots ❤❤❤❤🙌🙌 Any project you work on is excellent in my eyes, you are very smart. your farm is happening 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

It all looks great! Love the drip tape and timer, huge time and water saver! 👌👍 Lol at the chicken who did NOT want to share the huge grub! 😂

There is no doubt that the compost soil you bought to get started was EXCELLENT soil. I'd buy another truck load and keep it for next year. I say that because the quality of everything is nosediving lately. Great garden guys! You are pros!

Lol😂 even Bernice eats good in the summer! 😂❤️🥰🇨🇦🙏🏻🍁 Congratulations on getting the drip tape installed you’re going to love it and wonder why you didn’t do it sooner! It’s a huge time saver!! God bless! ❤️🥰🇨🇦🍁🙏🏻

Great job on the drip system. I would recommend that in the hot summer you water the whole beds in the high tunnel and give them a good soaking at least once a week along with the drip system. Unless it rains in there. 😁👍

Great job it looks fantastic 🙌🏻 I’m installing drip in my raised beds , next week. Home Depot couldn’t find my order and when I told them it was 1/2 black main line, they couldn’t understand why someone would want 200 ft of black hose for their birthday 😂😂🙌🏻 These are the same people who insisted my order never came and refused to look on the shelf. I got the manager who also got wouldn’t be on the shelf. And it was on the shelf 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂😂😂😂😂

I actually ordered the tomato clips through your link and I going to by the drip tape kits soon.

Hi.... Jason and Loraine thanks you for showing your video homestead bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

You do such a good job at everything you do.

We use drip irrigation on all our land now the best move we did we normally run a 2 and half acre field for 12 hours stint 2 time a week with mixed crops sometimes we have turn something off if they don't need as much water but most of the time it just runs it will be the best thing you do less weeds 😊

🪻 Good job Lorrain . Those gardens looks so healthy. 🌾🌱

Your garden and high tunnel crops look wonderful!! You are truly living your dream in growing your own food and improving the land

Sweet time . 50th FRIDAY SHOPTALK. I raised my ✋️ I have watched each week❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Great harvest and lesson on the drip system. You are very relaxed and peaceful teaching. See you soon. SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 Piglets are cute to watch. How are the 2 sheep?

Add some radishes to your roasted veggies. They are amazing! They have a completely different flavor when hot and roasted.

Hey Jason, just keep in mind that they carry low, medium and high flow drip tape. I’m not sure if the exact numbers, but most drip tape carries .65 galling per hour, per 100ft. So just make sure you leave your water on, long enough to get adequate water for your veggies. It could take anywhere from 6-8 hours, just to get a gallon of water out of each emitter.

Amazing what you have accomplished 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤🌺

After having gone through a massive drought here where i live in Australia, you guys have just convinced me that its time to install a drip system. I have a huge dam (pond) that i usually draw from to water my gardens using a sprinkler system, but this year for the first time the water in the dam dropped so low that i could not get water up to the garden. So thank you for thos video which has given me inspiration to swap over. Btw. Your beets look amazing. I love roasted beets too but i usually plant so many that i turn them into beetroot relish and pickled beetroot. ❤❤❤

Jason you do everything great! Love your videos ❤

Jason, One of the best things about your video's is you do what you do in the raw. Meaning....you film as you are doing something and don't edit out or do it first and then film. You show the success and failures or leakages etc. People learn from mistakes and it is refreshing to see someone film the whole thing and not fear if what you just did didn't work. Thank you.

Proud of you guys. You've come along way and are living your dream. Not many people can say that my friend. God bless you and your beautiful family.

Nice pressures you are a great plumber.

I love pickled beets. I've not had them roasted, but in general I don't care for roasted veggies. I like them steamed.

All three of you cleaning products from your garden, priceless:)))

1 lucky Bernice! Thanks guys ♥ Always informative and enjoyable!

You guys always work so hard….looks great and lots of neat food for your family..😊

Great video

Suggestion: You can fold over the end of the drip tape and zip tie it to close it. Great video

Good looking garden this year! And worrying about containing sweet potato growth is hopeless.

I busted out laughing with the music to the hen snatching the worm and running away! 😂😂😂 so funny & cute!! ❤❤

Seems to me, that you and your family are finally, really beginning to reap the seeds you’ve sown. Love to see it!

just an fyi. the holes typical face upward to avoid sediment from blocking the holes.

I used to have run a lot of PVC pipe, always put it out in the sun if I could, make it a lot easier to work with. Love your videos

y'all are such a good family--you work together and thrive

thats a lot of work but it will be done and never have to worry for a season hugsss

That taped end looks CLEAN!

Just the video I needed. Thank you so much!!!😅

Jason, in the future when using the poly pipe that is rolled up try this process to make it more manageable. There are 2 ways to deal with such rolls of poly pipe. !. literally roll it out and pull it into place instead of flailing with it all over the place. 2nd way useful for inside places like your greenhouse is to anchor the one end where you will attach it to the water source then carefully unroll it into place as you progress thru the planting area keeping it together as you unroll it into place where you want it placed.You do either of these once and get the hang of it and you will never do it any other way again. Trust me I have had to unroll hundreds of yards of this pipe in various circumstances. You will not be messing up your plantings or struggling with the pipe ever again.

I run my drip tape for 15 mins 3 times a Day. 3 am 11 am and 4pm in Central Texas

We run our drip tape for two hours. It works for us.

Great accomplishments, Sow the Land family! Thanks for sharing. Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦

I just realised the sources of water you have on your farm. Your Well and rainwater catchment ... most educational....

I love the singing 🎵! I do that too. It makes me feel happy and content.

You should pickle some of those beets, I love them!

Linda here…I love roasted veges, too…Brussels sprouts, carrots, beets, turnip, parsnip etc. I toss them in avocado oil, crushed pork rinds and freshly grated parmigiana cheese and put them in the solar cooker for 30-45 minutes (we’re in the Caribbean). Solar cooker would be a great addition to your farm and can be a DIY project to share with your viewers!

This works. Love the under ground water lines. You did nicely. You really have a nice setup.

This is a BIG day on your homestead!😊❤❤❤❤

Sweetest project with your family. Definitely needs more time on the drip tape. Also install the holes up on the tape.

Jason I have watched you from the beginning on your first homestead I love everything about your gardening method love your new drip system well done❤❤

Use pegs for your trip line to keep them closer to the plant

I have never met a beet I didn’t love. Pickled, Harvard’s, roasted shredded raw yum

Hello my friend. The way you produce food is very modern. I really like your little garden.

I’m with you. I never ate beets till I started growing them. I also use leftover beet juice for pickling eggs.

You can Pickel Beets. They are delicious. Just boil the first and peel after. Slice them into jars and make a Brine and can them.

Your family gets it done. Amazing progress. God bless.

Hahaha! Jason knew that ONE brave chicken would come snatch that juicy grub eventually. That drip tape is a great investment for you! Happy to see how well your garden is growing. You always make me hungry!

good job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can pickle the beets in jars they are wonderful yummy

Jason, this was an informative drip-line install . One quick note that you did right but could have mentioned is to make sure the drip holes face up. This is to insure that there is no dirt clogging the holes and that all the holes are open.

GREETINGS AND BLESSINGS 🙏 BIG HUG FROM CHICAGO IL 🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️

I live in NM. I have used drip for years! Neat video.

Love pickled beets with green beans so yummy

Smart man to put the mainline at the edge, so if you need to stop heat or cold creep of that line you can tie it to the ribs of the tunnel.

Jason, we use drip tape in our raised beds and along a short hedge. I have the garden on an auto system with 8 zones/valves along with the lawns. In triple digits or when I'm planting seeds I run the garden multiple times a day for a shorter period. When established you can turn off the tomatoes as needed to prevent splitting when other plants need more water. It's less stressful and allows some freedom to not be a slave to the garden. We've utilized drip irrigation since 1986, I won't garden without it! Blessings Jan
