Automate your garden! By using a drip watering system with a hose timer you can easily and inexpensively insure that your plants get the water they need. I'm a big fan of automating as much as possible.<br /><br />This video shows the items needed and procedure for putting together a basic system. I also show how easy it is to reclaim most pieces for use in other drip water projects. <br /><br />Amazon referral links to products I use and recommend, using any of these links helps support this channel.<br /><br />Orbit hose timers, I've had good luck with these and I've tried several other brands that didn't hold up as well or ate batteries too quickly: <a href="https://amzn.to/36hJDpA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/36hJDpA</a><br /><br />1/2" pipe punch tool, this is the one I have and it works pretty well. Don't get one of the simple punches or you will end up crushing pipe and getting frustrated: <a href="https://amzn.to/37t9KKc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/37t9KKc</a><br /><br />Pressure regulator (one required per hose). This drops the water pressure to 25 PSI: <a href="https://amzn.to/2MNOQh8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/2MNOQh8</a><br /><br />Garden hose adapter (one required per hose), adapts your garden hose to the 1/2" drip main line: <a href="https://amzn.to/2MMBD82" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/2MMBD82</a><br /><br />1/2" pipe, 100 feet. This is inexpensive and gets cheaper per foot as you buy more: <a href="https://amzn.to/2uaVqI4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/2uaVqI4</a><br /><br />1/2" pipe end fitting (one per hose), this is the inexpensive foldover type I demonstrate in the video: <a href="https://amzn.to/2QduNuu" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/2QduNuu</a><br /><br />1/4" tubing, the flexible version I like. If there is a Lowes near you it is cheaper there. <a href="https://amzn.to/39A8FCu" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/39A8FCu</a> <br /><br />1/4" barbs. I like the ones that have a wide center so they are easier to grip: <a href="https://amzn.to/35f755m" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/35f755m</a> <br /><br />1 GPH drip emitter, the basic all purpose size: <a href="https://amzn.to/2tpMspL" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/2tpMspL</a><br /><br />Cable cutting tool like I use. I got mine at Harbor Freight but I don't think they sell it anymore there: <a href="https://amzn.to/36kE75m" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/36kE75m</a><br /><br />If you like my content please subscribe to this channel :)<br /><br />Blog site: <a href="https://www.threeacreparadise.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.threeacreparadise.com/</a><br /><br />Facebook page: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/threeacreparadise/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/threeacreparadise/</a><br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axnIHb2NeS8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axnIHb2NeS8</a>
