Makeshift Drip Project Part 6 - Plugging the Drip Line

We're finished running the pipe through the shrub bed and now we're going to plug the drip irrigation line with our lawn service plug that makes it easier to blow out the line in the fall.

Check out how we run the pipe for our drip irrigation line. Notice how we get the pipe around the front step and into the second flower bed.

Makeshift Drip Project Part 4 - Installing the Temporary Pressure Regulator

In this video we install the pressure regulator temporarily to the outside tap until we have time to install the entire manifold system with automatic valves.

Makeshift Drip Project Part 2 - The Before Shots

Here's part 2 of our make-shift drip irrigation project where I walk through the before picture and outline the project.

In this video you can see a little bit more about what I touch on in the first video about having to get the drip line into two separate beds.

Makeshift Drip Project Part 1 - Choosing The Parts

We've been so busy taking care of our customer's yards that we haven't had a chance to get a sprinkler system into our own home yet. Nowadays, it seems as though sprinkler systems are a must have for all new homeowners, but sadly in the 70's when our house was built, that wasn't the case.

Our place has an overhanging roof that covers our front shrub beds, which means that currently our shrubs only get water when we haul out the hose. The rain doesn't help us out at all. So we finally got sick of it and put in a makeshift drip line to water all of our shrubs.

I call it a makeshift drip line because I don't have time to do the whole system right now, but I wanted to get the shrubs looked after. So for now we'll just be running the drip line off of our tap.

And of course I took some video of the project so that you can see what I do and hopefully come up with your own ideas for your own drip irrigation system.

Here's part one where I pick out all the parts I need at our warehouse:

Parts mentioned in this video can be found in the drip irrigation section of the Sprinkler Daddy Sprinkler Store.

Regina Extreme Home Makeover

Sprinkler Daddy is proud to be a sponsor of a great event happening in Regina this summer - The Regina Extreme Home Makeover.



The idea isn't to completely demolish and create an extravagant new home, but instead help a deserving family get back on their feet by making practical upgrades to their existing home.

You can get event details here and take a look at all the companies sponsoring the event here.

If you know of a deserving family in Regina that you'd like to nominate, you can find an application here.

Look for more to come on this project as we'll try to keep you updated with the project.
