Running the Lines - Hydroponic Drip Irrigation
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 06. 2024
- We finally started installing the hydroponic strawberry drip tape and the emitter lines for the peppers and tomatoes. These will all be connected to pump system with a timer, and a nutrient injector system. Doug had been waiting a couple weeks for a part which finally came in, so I'll be showing the injector system soon. Katy and I did a little flower shopping to suppliment what we had started in the greenhouse. I'm getting excited to get the flower beds going and doing more work in the garden soon. Next video on the injector system should be out soon, watering everything in the high tunnel by hand takes for ever! -Devon

A green house ✅some casual plant irrigation system talk ✅ both of you buying a ton of flowers to add color to the farm ✅ carts🛒 full !! Happy Mother's day to both of you wonderful people!!
At 3:14 one of the little ones is measuring the distance between the buckets using his hands. I love how the family is all involved with the farm. What a great life for a child growing up!
At 6:06 in the video you can see a very lovely little house, it looks like something out of a fairy tale 👍😃
I love that your boys are involved in the process and not sitting on the side playing with a phone.
Thanks...we love having them with us and the seem to really like the greenhouse and the farm life in general.
Happy mothers day to you and your mom. You 2 ladies are a couple of amazing ladies. I know your mom is a great woman because of how awesome you turned out. I also know you are an amazing mom because I see you taking care of those boys, the farm, the cows, the garden, feeding everyone with healthy food, helping your mom and dad with the Hydroponics. You are a "1 in 7.5 billion" mother and young woman. 🌹🌹🌹
That laugh.. when Mom says "not as crazy as you" 🌹🖤 adorable I love y'all's vids
Happy Mother's Day Devon and Kati!
I imagine you both still worked hard on your day, we mom's can't stop working even for mother's day.
Everything looks great! Have a great week!
Thank you and hope you had a great Mother’s Day! We had some crazy weather. I filmed some of it for the next video, but we got 3 inches of rain. It was a good day otherwise, and I got to spend lots of time with family. 🌷
Devon, your videos are very informative keep up the good work !
Happy Mother's Day Devon!!!! Totally enjoy and love your channel and growing information... Thank you
Thanks for the content brings back memories when I visited a few hydroponic greenhouse’s in Puerto Rico. Have a great weekend you and your family. Robert from Bridgeport Ct.
Good timing on the vid. Getting ready to do the same for the new trees.
I love green valley growers. They have a huge selection of plants.
Amazing work
Yet another relaxing/informative video..thanks devon.the hoophouse is looking really nice. Where do you get the emitters that you hook two lines too?? .All i find is singles...
Thanks for another interesting video!
Happy late mother's day wishes. Another lovely little video. You have created a nice art form.
I was thinking about the dosimeter and how it must save you money on nutrients because if I am not mistaken you were throwing the old solution on the garden or sometimes just tossing it in winter.
I am willing to bet you have a very good idea how much it costs you in nutrients to grow a lettuce in the summer and in the winter. It will be interesting to see how this changes.
Yes that is what we do with the nutrients from the main greenhouse. It should save us money like you said, especially since we can dial in the exact amount to give the plants. That could be a good video topic.
Happy Mother’s Day Devon🌹🌸
Happy Mother's Day Devon!
love your videos , I just finished watching when your family built the greenhouses! annnnd you gained another sub. I have noticed that your dad knows how to swing a hammer, 😉
Thank you for sharing and I think I’m going to add you to a playlist on our channel. I hope that’s ok with you. Happy growing and thank you for taking the time to make these videos to share with us
ONE SHOPPING CART FULL. thats me every weekend. i just cant stop. dont you either
thanks Tony
another nice video
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi teacher! "A sound body has a sound mind "
Love from Pakistan.
Howdy there ,, it’s Sunday happy Mother’s Day
Most people do not realize how much it cost and time go in to infrastructure . The green house less say cost $100000.00 putting a pad in with heating and cooling system all in to pay for installing and parts . You will need power and water !! Than all the drip lines , timers , planters , cables , drop spools , cost $20000.00 more and one year of your time ! that would be a good on to go over you have the new one set up . P.s dads labor is worth $32.50 per hour ! Have a good day .
Great to hear more about the new injection system. Question: does each valve pull the same nutrient mix? Or is your dad changing the nutrients depending on the crop it's going to? Thanks!
What material have you used to cover the ground in the greenhouse?
Its Amazing.. one question plz .. the irrigation in NFT system its h24 ? Running all time ? Best Regards
Im a beginner in hydroponics here in india, love your videos. And if you don't mind me asking , what potting mix you used for your strawberries ? Like in what ratio ? Obviously for educational purposes 😁
Can I ask why you chose to go with drip tape instead of emitters for the Strawberries? Thanks
I really enjoy your videos, we'v had a greenhouse for sometime and are just starting this year with hydroponics. I noticed with your strawberries, you're using a 20 20 20 from Miller's. Is that your feed regiment from start to finish
It is so far...me may be looking at breaking the system down to have a part a-b with ph adjust but I think for this year we are going to stay with the 20-20-20. The strawberries are really coming back now that the weather is cooling down.
Devon can you tell me how long those strawberry baskets are??
Hey I am from India....I appreciate your work.. I want to know how much total time a day you are watering through drip required for tomatoes
Hi Devon, what's the name of that white container you used for the strawberries 🍓?
Very nice and neat
Thank you 😊
Any line to the strawberries trays you are using
I loved your video. I was wanting to know the name of the bins up on stilts that your growing strawberrys in called? Would I be able to buy them from where you got the. I have small area and they would be great for my area. Please let me know.
Hi Linda, Let me get you the information you need to purchase the bins...they work great in fact we are ordering more here soon for next year and increasing our strawberry production. Give me a day or so and Ill get you the info.
@@HomegrownPassion bumping I've been super curious about these also they'd be good for my space as well!
Dialing-in and setting the correct irrigation schedule can be difficult, as each plant type requires different crop steering parameters to ensure continual healthy growth through both vegetative and generative stages. Not as easy as people may think. Cheers.
Awesome, how large is your farm?
5000 sqr two bay greenhouse. high tunnel is 3000 sqr feet. The farm is 130 acres
How does the watering/drain system work on the strawberries?
So last year we just let it run on the ground. This year we are going to install a gutter system but remember the idea is not to have any drain water coming off the buckets but still enough nutrients to keep the plants fed and hydrated.
Hi again how often do you have to change the Perlite growing medium? and do you mix it with vermiculite.
We don’t have to change the growing medium. It stays good for the whole duration of the growing time, and we can reuse it as well. We do two parts perlite, one part vermiculite.
@@HomegrownPassion Perfect your a super star
@@HomegrownPassion Thanks for your reply, I meant do you change the Perlite when you re plant?
My brother had a dog 🐶 like this one his name was fireball 🔥🐶🔥 ever time my brother lit 🔥 a fire the dog would try and extinguished it in many forms 💦sadly someone liked him more than my family and took him ooo nice work around the place 🎥😇later 🍓🍓🌹
Awww that's too bad. That's a cool name for a dog. Thanks David, hope you have a great day! 😊🍓🍅🥬
🌴🥀🤠🥀🌴
please educate us less than knowledgeable farmers but what does it mean when the strawberries are transpiring at 4:10?
hello kazahstan almata🌏📡😎🌿🌿🌿
Hallo
Ни чё не понял но очень интересно)
Follow all your videos but just a quick question, after the seeds have first sprouted when do you add fertiliser if any ?
Thanks! The seeds in the greenhouse start off with the nutrient solution right away. We soak the growing medium with it. They will also do well with a more dilute solution too.
