  2. I appreciate the knowledge you just laid down . I am going to install my first drip irrigation system this year. Dale looked so serious that the alligator had no choice but to jump back in the water!πŸ˜‚

  3. Dale's like, what just happened? I've not done drip irrigation yet as it seems intimidating and complicated. Thanks again for another informative video I may need to watch a few times, then check out the sites you mentioned for supplies. Saving time and water more efficiently in my garden will give me more time for other things, so it makes sense.

  4. My drip irrigation uses well water that wreaks havoc on the fittings. most of my 12×4 bed is soaker hose buried about 2 in down. I always know when they get clogged and need to be replaced. All the containers still get watered by hand because all the pots are different sizes and plants have different water requirements. I'm curious to know how you get that miracle grow in the box to dissolve well enough to run it through your rain barrels. I bought several boxes and while it's great fertilizer it always leaves a pile undissolved in the bottom of the watering can.

  5. Great video as always 😊 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and happy gardening πŸŒΏπŸŒ±πŸ˜ŠπŸ€—

  6. I lay out 3 to 5 gallon buckets πŸͺ£ randomly throughout the garden, around 30 of them especially helpful in the dry months, I just collect the rain until needed, and I typically add something to create a compost tea so it's a 2 for 1 😊

  7. Thank You I so enjoy this i'm starting to make raised bed and i'm going to go with the rain water system for now love the info i will be checking your other video on how to make it
