Hey there, garden enthusiasts! In this video, I’m going to show you how I installed a super easy drip irrigation system for my home backyard garden. This system is going to save me so much time by automatically watering my garden, delaying watering if it rains, and it even mixes up and fertilizes my plants!
I show you which Drip Depot drip irrigation kit I am using and details on the RainPoint WiFi enabled automatic water timer with soil sensor that runs my drip irrigation system. I’ll break down every part of the system and explain why it’s important, so you’ll have a clear picture of how it all works to keep your plants happy and healthy.
But the best part is, I’ll take you through the whole installation process from start to finish. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, my easy-to-follow instructions will make you a drip irrigation pro in no time. No more stressing about watering your garden by hand – we’re going to make it efficient and lush!

I love this video. I would have loved to see you plant all those plants.
I used Drip Depot too. I installed it myself. Having raised beds you need T adapters and elbow fittings but everything in the perma-loc system just locks together. Just map out your design first. The system was so much cheaper than I preconceived.
How sweet you are! I have flirted with which system to use. Thanks for the in-depth tutorial.
Awesome video Jerra!
Definitely saving this to watch again! I really appreciate you showing us how easy this is, I'm also a visual learner. I also appreciate that it wasn't sponsored but just your honest opinions and experiences. Thank you so much!
This is so helpful and will be a time saver. Thank you!
This video does look much easier than most I’ve watched. I have 10 1’ and 3’ high raised beds. I’m not sure if the tubing will be long enough to go up the sides of all the high beds though. I still can’t pull the trigger on a kit
Thanks Jerra. Maybe some day I'll try this. I do love hand watering though. 😊
Can you plug up the water emitter spots not in use ?I will do more research . I have thought about using one for a while , and they look simple to use .It is quite a pain to water a garden with a hose , not very efficient either. thnx for showing how easy it is .
