Saw Netafim in Israel. Fantastic system! They have made the desert bloom.

49:57
What does one use for greywater pumping from a reservoir tank? A submersible Sump pump?

54:48
Would you be able to use one type of emitter for an entire garden or would you need to vary based on what is planted?

56:10
Typical pressure for frost free faucets?

56:33
What do you think about drip lines above ground or below? If below, how deep do you bury it and how do you get the water out in the winter to prevent freezing.

57:05
My system freezes in the winter. Is there something I can do? Right now I just hand water until it warms up

57:27
Can the County Extension - Santa Fe County help onsite with recommendations for a home garden irrigation system? If so, who do we contact?

58:19
How do you handle rabbits chewing holes in tubing?

58:59
Does NM extension have a downloadable bulletin showing how to setup a home irrigation system?

59:48
Here's one resource: https://irrigationmanagement.nmsu.edu/drip-irrigation.html

01:00:27
Can you comment on the usefulness of systems connected to ollas (in raised garden beds, for vegetables and flowers)

01:00:27
How successful are low-pressure gravity-fed drip irrigation systems? Are there some important factors to keep in mind to make them work well?

01:02:58
Most of my references state 1 inch a week. How do I covert to gallons per hour?

01:03:00
I'm sure I can look this up, but is there a difference in drip irrigation water amounts for lettuce vs. chile/peppers vs. root vegetables (carrots, onions, garlic, etc.)?

01:03:38
dripworks.com

01:03:54
PVC vs. mainline tubing from dripworks? Does one tend to be better than the other?

01:03:56
for trees do you only have emitters at the drip line and not circling around tree outside to inside to the trunk?

01:04:10
Any local (Santa Fe) resources you can recommend to set up a drip irrigation system for a home garden?

01:04:32
www.dripworks.com - Looks like a great resource, thanks!

01:05:05
I have ordered from DripWorks before = fast shipping and competitive prices.

01:05:38
Q from Ignacio: A dog tore through one of my main hoses, and I don’t want to replace the entire system. Are there fix kits?

01:06:21
how do we find our frost line?

01:08:19
Cover them with thick pvc pipe with holes in them

01:08:53
cover them with heavy gauge wire

01:09:36
Frost lines can range from 24 to 48". We had 20 below this winter and our water froze at 24 to reburied at 48"..

01:10:00
I was jokingly going to say to feed and water them away from the garden! Lol. but I have heard of protecting them in PVC or other pipe that is harder to penetrate.

01:10:00
Do you recommend a filter when using City of Santa Fe water with a hose?

01:10:04
If pests are a problem would mulch help deter them?

01:10:12
Drip Depot is another great vendor/resource. They have great customer service and lots of helpful videos. https://www.dripdepot.com/search?q=raised%20beds

01:10:15
I have replaced broken hoses. it is easier than you think.

01:14:00
Any plans on an in-person training? Or can you let us know if/when?

01:15:17
should you wait till last frost date to set out drip lines?

01:16:45
Here are a couple of online resources for measuring water for gardening: https://farmityourself.com/watering-guide-how-much-is-an-inch-of-water/ and https://help.dripdepot.com/support/solutions/articles/11000100937-inches-to-gallons

Thank you for the websites and info on the drip irrigation. My husband and I are expanding our veggie and flower garden this season. Great Info and encouragement.

01:34:41
if you are a water hauler is it better to let the water sit for a day before using it in the veggie garden

01:35:12
I didn't hear my question addressed. How do I maintain pressure on the lines furthest from the start of the lines?

01:35:29
Thanks for the info. i am encouraged to try to restore/repair/redesign our 26-year-old irrigation system.

01:35:44
Is it better to water early in the morning or late afternoon?
