Thanks
Very glad I found this and you have a new subscriber. If wrapping the circumference of a tube, will this adhere to itself, the colored part? Or would you recommend cutting it just short of overlapping?
@@DanBerens2112 thanks for watching and subscribing. Although I'm not producing any new videos, I leave this channel here to help. To your question: I have not tested overlapping vs not overlapping. I think I would lean toward not overlapping. Cheers.
Just a quick follow-up question. I tried this and it leaked from both ends of the tape. Basically I turned the water on right after which may have been a mistake. I'll rewatch the video but is it required to let it sit for 8 hours or overnight? Wondering if I did something wrong. I also wrapped up the two with sandpaper a bit.@@bootsintheroots
@@DanBerens2112 depending on the hole size you may need a larger patch. Also be careful not to touch the sticky side of the patch. Ideally scuff the surface like you said. You do have to press and hold pretty good. Start by pressing right over the hole and work out from there. I hope that helps in some way.
Excellent!
You have them backwards. The cutting edge strikes the ground. Thats common sense. Your basically cutting into the ground, otherwise theres no need to put a sharper edge on the tines period. If you will do a little research, you see that. That set up, especially on a front tine tiller will beat you to death. Plus, your putting more stress on your transmission and engine.
Depending on what you are tilling. Flat side striking first pulverizes soil better. I use the Rotary plow for deep tilling and only use the tiller to pulverize the top couple inches for planting.
Thank you for the info
Put an old inter tub piece down to protect the tree.
I have problems with 2x4" rectangle 4 foot galvanized fencing. The type that's welded at each connection. It's so brittle It just breaks no matter how many hooks I use. Any tips? I've mastered barbed wire. Sorry I can't watch the entire video. Way too many ads. Like 8 ads 7 minutes in.
Sorry about ads. Welded wire can't be stretched much at all. You need more posts and once attached you can kink each horizontal strand every few feet with a pliers or other tool. That gives it a bit of a stretch. Good luck.
@@bootsintheroots Thanks for the advice. I'll try that!
I've had them snap and I landed on my ass. Next I may try my truck hitch mounted chain pipe vice and heat the bend with my cutting torches.
That is unfortunate. Cheap metal no doubt. I've never had that happen.
Thanks boots and good detailed instructions with zero giggles. God bless you🙏👍
I hope you get a lot of other subscribers you really come up with great tips
How does it keep from being flexed without any tension wires or cables at least top and bottom? Thank you for the specifics about zip tie length and how conduit straps can help,
Hi, you can't tension this plastic fencing, just pull it the best you can. If your stakes are close enough it stays pretty rigid; enough to deter the deer.
Thanks for no chit chat or giggling. But this video was 5 minutes of good info stretched out to 20 minutes with really slow talking and incredibly long pauses after every few words. Even at 2x speed, the pauses were hard to wait thru.
Different strokes for different folks. So people like a slow pace so they can follow along in the field. Cheers.
It would be a beautiful thing if this world would just slow down alittle bit.
This looks fantastic
Looks interesting, but what do you do in the winter. It looks like you won't have a good seal. We have citrus and have to maintain at least 40˚F during the winter months.
If you live in a cold climate you would need to take off the rod and have wiggle track along the sides and bottom. Clamp it down with wiggle wire.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial.
Quick easy trick
Use your triler hitch on yiur truck wirks better
That could work, but I'm not walking back and forth through the farm.
I imagine the tension also helps keep the tap in the main line tighter with the constant tension against the barb. This is a great tip!
Thanks for the nice comment.
Awesome idea! Thanks for the great tips.
Came from a 30 min video with music themed montages and b-roll on how to mount deer netting, thank you for being concise and to the point.
awesome!
Perfect, thanks! I made the mistake of poking a hole and didn't realize that would ruin it. Slightly cutting the outer layer makes sense!
Good idea with the nails
Fabulous. Trying to talk my daughter into making one
Hope it works out !
You can use your Reese hitch on a truck.
If not bent too much, sure.
Great! Thanks!
Best one yet
Do you think cutting an 8ft 4x4 in half for each side of the corner post will be good enough? So I don't have to go buy 10 footers
Anything is better than nothing. Make sure your brace post footings , the concrete, is deep and strong, and just attach the other end to your vertical post wherever it falls. Use the math to get your correct angle cuts. A lot depends on your soil situation, climate, wire fence tension, so forth. But I get it, lumber prices are terrible. My whole fence system is redwood and No-Climb. Yikes.
you need to check your instalation i am sure they are own backword
Nope, the blunt end strikes the ground, not the thin edge.
wow, I am going to try this. I have a 10 acre orchard with lots, maybe 100, leaks. Its either fix them as they occur or throw away the hose. thanks.
Very informative and helpful! What did you use to paint the T Posts and how does it hold up to the weather? TYIA.
I've used black tractor paint you get in gallons from farm supply store. Used a thick nap roller. Goes lickity split. Thx for watching.
Great demo
One of the more informative, and easier to understand videos I've watched on this subject. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and the comment. I always felt it would help people see what is going on in those tunnels.
I have built a couple gates over the years. You pointed out a lot of really good tips I was unaware of. Thanks
Thanks for watching and your comments !
Thanks for sharing. Great video.
@bootsintheroots where did you purchase your fencing? It looks like a really nice Black 5 foot woven wire fencing. This is exactly what I've been looking for, but I've been unable to find anything like this on the around the New England area.
We have a farm supply store in our town. I had to order it.
Nice 👍
I wish you would see this question a year later! I just severed my drip tubing with my lawn mower. Is there a tape I could use to make more wraps and join a new piece of tubing in?
Hi, I still monitor the channel even though I haven't posted in a long time. There really is no practical value in fixing a tape severely cut up by a lawn mower. Cut out the bad sections and use couplers to add in new tape. Cheers.
Thank you! I hope you start posting again! This video was good and clear!@@bootsintheroots
@@janetbaker1945 thx for the comments. I'm out of the farming business now so no more videos coming. I keep the channel up to help others if it can. Cheers.
You adjusted it to go up level. What heppened when you tried to lower it back to the ground, ended up short did it?
No, it wont land short, if you leave enough plastic material when you cut it. You are adjusting for flex and twist in the pipe. Metal pipe would be best, but this exercise was to show it done cheaper. Thx for watching and commenting.
How much weight can a t post hold if laying it down and hanging weight from it? Anyone know
Are you suspending it across something? It all depends on your span. There are different grades of T-Stakes as well. But likely there is a better and more attractive product out there that you can hang something from, like galv water pipe for instance.
Thanks for sharing this tip. Will use a roll of flex tape I already have. Mahalo!
Exactly what I needed! thanks
Thanks for watching!
A cheaper method we would do back in the Bahamas was just to pull the drip line taut then tie a bowstring knot and pound in a stake at a 45 degree angle about 1 inch from the taught distance. Pull it just a little more over the stick and boom.
Thx for your comment. I'm not exactly sure what you are explaining but this type of tape needs a spring type of tension, which the bungee provides, to offset the expansion and contraction during heating and cooling. Thx for watching.
Nice. Thank you very much!
Thank youbvery much !
Thanks for watching !
Great suggestion. I've seen other videos suggest using an angle grinder to sharpen the tip of the T post after drilling about 3-4 1/2" holes through sandstone, then driving it through.
Sure, I guess that might help. Lots of grinding work but if it was just a few to do, why not. Thx for the suggestion !
Great tip. I played video at 1.75 speed.
Thanks for sharing!
I found that staples rust and break after a year. I used screw-in plastic cable clamps that i got for free from my cable guy.
Arrow makes a stainless steel staple. Not cheap but check those out. Otherwise your idea is good. For me, its hard to pull tension with one hand and screw something in with the other.
well im done searching. thanks
