My Drip Irrigation System, Part II: Repairing and Expanding

 

A few weeks ago, I gave you an introduction to drip irrigation systems as I shared with you my own system via video, as I got it up and running for the system. 

Here's a follow up video to that. I cover how to make some more repairs and expanding parts of the system. Near the end I cover the difference between emitters and perforated lines. Hint: The bottom line is the end result is the same, but the perferated lines are easier to work with.

Enjoy the video.

Let me know in the comments if you have any questions.

Wow Gordon, that's quite a system.  How does it hold up during the off seasons such as fall and winter?  There's a lot of little pieces and I wonder how many get lost and/or clogged during inclimate weather.  Do you set a timer on the water line to avoid overwatering/water wasting?  Where can this system be purchased? Seems like a good thing to have if you have the time to assemble it all and especially if it can lay on the ground through all seasons so that changes to the system from year to year are easier. Good demo.
