I’m getting ready to do irrigation lines for my first time after hand watering for 3 years and I’m so excited. I’ve watched this video 10+ times to make sure I’m doing it right. Adam is so great to watch and listen to. All these videos are so helpful
-
Sir, you explain things so well, it makes one wish you would teach any number of different topics.
-
This step-by-step was clutch. Im in the middle of a huge irrigation project before I leave the country for a month and couldn't have done it without you guys. Thank you very much.
-
This video was amazing! I have watched so many instructional videos on drip systems, and this was hands-down the best! So easy to understand. Drip Depot, you will get my business!
-
You should teach all life skills. Just amazing clear and pleasant way of describing how to do these tasks. Very much appreciated.
-
I got a little overwhelmed on where to start, this helped me so much!
-
Thanks to this video, I designed and finished installing my drip irrigation system last week. The raised bed kit I bought from Drip Depot had everything I needed and I loved the quality of the fittings. To anyone on the fence about taking on this task yourself, do it! Thanks for the great video and great product!
-
This video was exactly what I need to wrap my head around the process of installing drip irrigation to my raised garden. Thank you so much! Super helpful...now to draw my plan and order the parts:)
-
Thank you! I’ve been so confused with other videos! Best one yet!
-
This was fantastic! Well done! Oh, and thank you!
-
You guys make things so simple! Love Drip!
-
Nice job on the video. I have a good understanding now. I'm off to tackle my beds
-
You forgot to mention one of the most important things included in orders - tootsie pops! It made me laugh the first time I ordered from you all, but dang was it lovely to sit down with a tootsie pop and a glass of ice water after installing my drip system :) Not to mention that the parts I get from you all are excellent - the tubing is easy to work with and punch holes in, the spray emitters fit perfectly and work. Since I discovered you all, I don’t buy from anyone else.
-
I've seen your older videos, and I like this one better. Nice job!
-
This man is a blessing. Thanks sir
-
Thank you for the great video

Excellent tutorial - everything now makes so much sense. Thank you Sir and greetings from Australia👌👌👏👏

This was a great video demonstration, thank you! Found your company through Homestead & Chill. I'm excited to see your upcoming demo for how to install drip irrigation for raised metal beds because I'm switching out my wood beds for metal.
-
So so clear and helpful. Thank you!
