Thanks for sharing this video. You gave me some ideas for the drip system I'll be installing in my garden beds this year.
Great video.
I do it very similar. I run a T off the mainline and then another T at the plant. At the plant I do it alittle different. I use this
And make a circle with 5 of the emitters that go around the plant. I tried the emitters that you have, but I wound up with dry spots. I found that the circle gave me better coverage and the watering time was less because of the 5 emitters. Here is a picture, not a great one but you can kind of see what I am describing.
I added a fertilizer injector this year too. Nothing as fancy as yours, just one of the EZ-Flow ones.
I really like the drip irrigation as you can really customize it to your individual needs. Your video shows how easy it is too.

I hope to get my Irrigation license in Texas one day so I can offer to install these systems for my customers. So many people are asking me about drip irrigation lately. Around here our soil expands and contracts so viciously, drip irrigation is being used to keep the soil around slab foundations watered, preventing damage to foundations..
That's a great idea, that's for sharing that!tctenten said:Great video.
