Love your posts.
they should make a kit that just attaches to saucers so you only bottom water and let the soil wick up!! looks like the slow drip would move /dislodge the stake and would start to tilt over time
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been patiently waiting for this video. 😊
Hi kim and good my dad was buried yesterday and a few more weeks I'm going to buy lettuce seeds and is it good to water in the morning evening or night
I have been waiting for this video! Thank you so much! I have my kit, but had to order something else, which has already been shipped. Mister Landscaper is a great company and everyone that I have spoken to are so very helpful!
Can I use this spinkler system for a long raised bed and if so how do I connect it to my faucet which is about 50 ft away from the raised bed. Would it require more vinyl tubing?
I wish the watering system could be payed with Easy Pay, 4 payments 😢
Great new products. Thank you Sam, Calikim and Camera Guy for bringing them to us…and thank you, Mac, for your excellent supervisory skills!! 7:48
Thanks! Nice to see tubes and fittings that will connect after just soaking in warm water.
I will consider these kits in the future.
Can this system be run from a rain barrel?
This product looks awesome! I love that it's made in the USA! I can't wait to try it! Thank you so much for sharing! 🥰🎉✨
Kim, many thanks to you and Sam for demonstrating these two products. Now I finally get how I will be able to use Mr. Landscaper products to irrigate my Smart Pots including Little Shorty beds and milk crates containing broccoli and cauliflower on the patio! I also need to irrigate and inground bed adjacent to the patio and 4 small to moderate sized raised beds on the patio and will order Mr. Landscaper products to do that, too!
Spectacular
You're making it hard for me not to spend money😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Not sure which one I need to get🤔. Not setting up the raised bed one, but I have lots of flower pots on my patio 😁
Cool
Useless stuff. If you have a house patio, there already are TONS of drip irrigation systems that work well off of a outside faucet. This does NOTHING for those who are in apartments with patios. Most of who don't have out side faucets. I've had to try to piece together a system using solar powered drip irrigation, with two large pet food storage containers used as reservoirs. I would get a drum but they're VERY expensive. The problem is that most of these products aren't very durable and need replacement about once a year. If they ever come up with something that's ACTUALLY for those without a faucet water source, THAT would be something new and useful.
This is so nice! I was planning to buy the kit. Dragging 100 ft hose all over my garden, this seems a lot easier.
