- Looking for a way to water your garden that WATERS EVENLY, INSTALLS EASILY, and HAS A GRID FOR for SQUARE FOOT GARDENING? The Garden Grid does all these things. It's my favorite way to water raised beds.
In this video, I demonstrate how I install garden grids from Garden in Minutes. This isn't a sponsored post, I love using these grids in my garden and want to show others how to install them in their own garden.
Little by little I've added these watering grids to all of my raised beds.

Thanks for watching!
I love love love mine--it really is the best garden idea I ever used
Love the product, saw your other videos mentioning it. Did some calculations of pricing. And decided to give it a try. Thank you for introducing such brilliant product!
Glad it was helpful! I think you will love them. I've never regretted getting them for my beds.
Exciting! Cant wait to see how it helps the garden!
Fingers crossed!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, it was exactly what I was looking for before pulling the trigger on these! :)
I’ve been researching drip irrigation for the past week! This looks EXTREMELY helpful
I"ve tried many other methods and this is by far my favorite way to water raised beds.
@@GrowingInTheGarden It seems simple and efficient. Thanks for sharing
@Drake Lyle BOT!!!
This looks like a life saver!!! We’ve been messing with irrigation for years. every year we think it’s good, then we always have dry dead spots. Thank you for the video, I look forward to trying it.
I was the same way. Little by little I've added the grids to my raised beds and haven't regretted it,
Ridiculously Expensive
Oh yay! I found the video I was looking for! That grid is too big for what I need it for, but I think I can make something that will work.
My new favorite CZcams channel
Thank you!
It’s been a year and over that time I have purchased 6 grids for 6x2 raised beds on ONE SIDE of my 20x30 structure
These are in my greenhouse/ high tunnel and was the contributing factor for my gardens to survive the drought we had in East Texas last summer
I’m hoping to have the funds to purchase 2 more 6x2 and 2 additional8x2 for the other side of my structure
Overall I absolutely love these
It’s because of this video that I took a chance THANK YOU
Wonderful! Happy to hear it. Best of luck for continued success.
Super glad I found this plus the link you gave me earlier today for these garden grids. I have 2 4x4 birdies beds that I’m going to get this for
Ask for the cornerless grids - they work well in that style of bed.
@@GrowingInTheGarden ok thanks
Awesome set up
The watering grids are great.
Thanks for the video
You bet, thanks for watching.
I love the idea of these grids but I have twelve 4 x 8 foot beds... that's a LOT of dosh. :( I'll have to come up with a better option. I love the idea, though.
These videos are wonderful. We just setup our garden grid and it's great. Do you have advise on how to figure out how much water and how often? We're in Phoenix.
Run it until it waters the depth of your beds. Let the top inch or so dry out before watering again. This blog post may be helpful: growinginthegarden.com/best-way-to-water-raised-bed-gardens/
I really like these! I have 8 beds, and like your system for linking them. But I have no idea how that part of the system (the drip line?) works. Do you have a video explaining that part?
No, I don't it's linked into the existing sprinkler system.
Would love to know how you got around your trellis with them. I bought several and it was well worth it.
I cut the tubing under the trellises that went on top and then put them back together with 1/2 tubing fittings.
Hi,thanks for answering my previews questions,may i please ask where you bought this? Thanks
Sure, here's the link

Great video. Thanks! Question - Does putting mulch/straw on top of it mess it up?
Put the grids on top of the mulch, I just posted a video about it: czcams.com/video/0_mQs21b95w/video.html
@@GrowingInTheGarden Thanks!
These grids seem great but $150 for a 4x8 grid is pretty pricey . If I want these on 4 or 5 beds I'm looking at $600. hmmmmmmm Wondering if it could be done using cpvc or pvc or abs pipes and be less expensive, depending on all the connectors and how to adjust emitters or drilling holes hmmmm Sometimes necessity is the mother of invention, as they say........... I've learned how to do SOOOOO many things since prices to buy products or get people to DO things can be outrageous. Looking forward to automating the watering process even though I HAVE all the time I want each day... We'll see. Great idea for ease & efficiency using the grids : )
Good ideas, best of luck to you!
I love this! Where did you get the black elbows to connect the drip to the grid?
Black and blue elbows please. They are blue on the ends or is that inside of them?
And can you please tell me where you got the on/off valve? I don't see it on Garden in Minutes website either, but it looks like maybe a Rain Bird Drip 1/2" Barbed On/Off Valve. Is that true?
I got all the connector pieces at Home Depot. Yes I believe it was that type of valve.
@@GrowingInTheGarden Awesome. Thank you!!
How long and how often do you typically run a grid during the hot Summer and cold winter?
I run the grids the same amount of time no matter the time of year - long enough to water the beds deeply. It depends on the water pressure but for me its about 8 minutes. What changes is the time between watering. During the winter I may water once a week or less (if we get rain) and in the summer I may water every 1-2 days.
I went to the vender you recommend and they are trying to sell a hose connection and I would like to connect to my drip line as you have. Should I be ordering the hose adapter they recommend?
You can connect it to regular 1/2 inch poly tubing. Hope that helps. Best of luck with your garden.
Looks great where can I buy that?

How many of these grids can you operate on a zone before you lose pressure?
I have six running on one zone at the same time. There is a mainline with lines going out to each bed. There is plenty of pressure.
If you have them attached on the same line (not branched off) it may have less pressure by the time it gets to the end. This is how my smaller beds are connected, and there is less pressure on the last bed.
I would recommend running a central line instead. That way you are also able to put a flow adjuster on each bed and turn them on or off if you need to.
I ordered. And noticed it is 3/4” tube. And bc I have a horse trough bed, it has rounded ends. I need to cut the corner squares off grid and end cap. But standard end caps at Home Depot are 1/2. Any recommendation?
You can ask them to do cornerless beds. They may also have parts available online. Their customer service is great.
@@GrowingInTheGarden awesome thanks. In video didn’t you use 1/2” elbows? So 1/2” end caps should work
Converting a sprinkler head to use these grids, did you use a pressure regulator?
Yes - here's a video with more info: czcams.com/video/GXMsLnxkOEU/video.html
@@GrowingInTheGarden thank you!
Does the grid come with the pressure controller? If not, where did you get it? Same Store?
This is where I get the grids: gim.ositracker.com/140976/10616 - they also sell flow control valves.
@@GrowingInTheGarden Thank you! I love your videos! So helpful and very inspirational. I'm a newbie in the garden.
any problem with holes clogging with the hard water here in the low desert Az? -just tried to order a significant $ amount... they are not honoring the 10%
Hi. I've had one grid for several years and it works as well as the day I got it. My mistake on the code, I wrote down 10% off in this description, but the discount is $10 off $100. I'm sorry about that.

Nice but the smallest ones are $85 apiece!
It's nice but for a 150$, I'll pass . I can make my own for 25$
That's great.
Is there a method to connect four 8x4 grids to one hose?
Here's another video I made about that: czcams.com/video/GXMsLnxkOEU/video.html
