Drip Irrigation for Container Gardening

00:43 Patti explains how people often ask her how to grow herbs and vegetables in small spaces using containers. She mentions that containers tend to dry out quickly and need fertilizers.

01:00 Patti begins installing a drip irrigation system in her container garden. She connects a timer, easy flow fertilizer connector, and a filter to her manifold.

01:44 Patti plans to fertilize her garden using an organic fertilizer through the manifold. She emphasizes the importance of providing nutrients to container gardens for optimal growth.

02:07 Patti connects the hoses for her fertilizer injector and uses clear tubing to monitor the flow of fertilizer into her system.

03:06 Patti runs her mainline tubing around her brick patio, supporting it with clamps attached to the fence. She plans to add containers wherever she wants.

04:01 Patti moves an orange mint container to install the irrigation system behind it. She demonstrates installing a pot dripper using a punch insert tool and quarter inch tubing.

04:39 Patti installs a down spray sprinkler for her lavender container, allowing her to control overspray. She also uses a nine-inch soaker dripline with emitters spaced nine inches apart for her tomato container.

05:25 Patti shows how she can even irrigate a hanging plant by running quarter inch tubing along a post from her main drip line.

05:45 Patti concludes that her container garden is now efficiently irrigated and ready for her to go on vacation. She signs off as Patti Moreno, the garden girl.
