Thank You, Patty! I’m just getng into home gardening, and ALL of this, is a great help to me!! If more people would do simple things like this, we would ALL be better off!

if you watched the video, you’d know the answer. lol but anyway, you can go to walmart & buy all the stuff you need. she said hers costed under 200 dollars.. it may be less at walmart or a garden center like lowes or whatever. :)

Great idea, wish I would have seen this 6 mos ago. Oh well, maybe next year.

I made things called dripper trackers for solar cooking.
(I invented them)
I think they could be adapted for slow watering of plants.
Its very low tech and might appeal to some people.
dripper trackers are on youtube too.

You get what you pay {$} for!

We installed drip irrigation three years ago and every night when I feed the rabbits I water our veg garden, a few minutes on each side. Simple and WORTH IT!

The water spreads to the surrounding dirt out of the 6″ slits in the tiny hose and all the plants in the area get watered. Be sure to clean your filters regularly – especially if you have well water.

Between the rabbit manure and the drip irrigation we have a huge healthy crop that feeds our neighbors as well as our family. Georgia

yes but if you’re trying to go green or just be good to life you shouldn’t shop at walmart.. :P

astrialkil May 22, 2010 at 12:43 am

$200 ? yikes ! Walmart has drip irrigation for $29.

Great vid! Thanks for sending this. I’m a first year gardener. Having reasonable sucess against pests. I’m getting salad mix once a week. Also squash. Tomatoes comming along with a few ripe ones so far. Watering though is a real bearcat. It’s a real dry area so I have to water twice a day.I probably will install a drip system. I’ll mark dripworks to my favorites. Again thanks! Harlan.

SK3Nives May 22, 2010 at 2:01 am

That was really good! Very professional looking with the intro I thought

rockybudgeboa May 22, 2010 at 2:08 am

Awesome :)

Wish I could grow my own food, but nothing will grow here in Sweden …

Auticomics May 22, 2010 at 3:14 am

that’s alot of work to spare such a little chore.
But the vid is good :)

Cutchswife May 22, 2010 at 3:53 am

Great vid Patti! You are amazingly clever. I am hopeless lol.

rossini22 May 22, 2010 at 4:14 am

Thanks, GG. Dripworksusa looks like a good address. I need to wrap my head around this a while and maybe, just maybe I’ll install one myself.

swirlcrop May 22, 2010 at 4:27 am

Great video Patti.

ItripledogdareU May 22, 2010 at 4:48 am
