Drip Irrigation

Purchasing a kit with everything included was a smart move for us (newbie market gardeners). It took the guesswork out of setting up our first tunnel, and reduced our stress to near zero.
Loved: The drip tape valves (love love love) - easy to install, valves are easy to turn, and the red color makes them easy to see when maneuvering in the tunnel.
Next time: Would buy the heavier drip tape.
Wish we had read more closely: the kit was sized for a smaller tunnel, with less tubing and valves than we needed. (But we quickly bought what was needed and were up and running!)

Order the drip irrigation kit. Was easy to assemble. Works fantastic.

Good product however I had to disassemble the pressure gauge assembly and add silicone plumbers tape to keep it from leaking. Even after that it still has one small leak. Everything else works great.

Great service, great product, easy instructions and install….what more could we ask for? Thanks Farmer’s Friend I’m a customer for life!

After installing my tunnel the first thing I added was the new drip system. It is extremely user friendly and comes with more than enough drip tape for the four 50 ft rows with three lines of piece. Just like a lot of farmers friends projects the instructions are incredibly clear and easy to follow. The longest part was actually rolling out the tape but if you follow the simple suggestion of the role in between two cinder blocks and makes it a piece of cake. I highly recommend this product.
Only downside is that the trip tape is set with holes every 6in so if you have tighter planting or different layout it's something to consider.

Having never insalled drip tape before I thought it was going to be difficult but using the easy to follow instructions it was very easy and installed in no time with no leaks! Highly recommend this product

We have been beyond happy with all of our purchases from Farmers friend. They not only provide great quality products but top notch customer service.
We were missing a few pieces to our drip irrigation system when it arrived and as soon as we contacted them they shipped out the missing parts and we received them with a couple of days. Excited to get it set up now. All parts seem to be great quality.

Farmers Friend treats us hobby gardeners like royalty. I bought this for my hi tunnel and it couldn't be better! bought extra to set up my mother in laws garden too. She has trouble because of sprinkling her garden. I explained she will be happier with drip tape. She was reluctant to try something new - so this is her Mothers Day gift. So simple and efficient!

The product seems fine but it is still too early for me to give the system an adequate review up here in the Northeast New York area as it is only April 6th. When I reviewed the product online, I would have liked to have seen a better description of each component including diameter of the drip tape i.e. 1/2", 5/8" 3/4" etc. When mentioning valves, the website should be more descriptive. Instead of using just the word "valve" Farmer's Friend should be more specific. Are they referring to a main shut off valve, a drip line shut off valve, a pressure reducing valve or a main line flush valve or a drip line flush valve. Those extra words would go a long way for a customer that maybe understands plumbing but is new to drip irrigation systems. Also a picture or diagram of a complete system with all the appropriate components laid out would be helpful too. I am also wondering why no choice was given on the mainline pipe diameter. The one that came with my kit was1" diameter. There may be a reason for that but I don't recall the website explaining whether this was for length of run from the water source point to the garden plot, the number of drip lines, pressure reasons.... I am not sure. We will let you know how things worked out after we get our system set up and installed in the field.

If you are a gardener and want to ease up on the watering time, this is the way to go. The kit (basic drip irrigation kit) is easily installed and I had enough tubing for all the lines for two years in a row ( I discarded drip tape after the first summer and used up what came with the kit the second summer). I'm getting ready to purchase more irrigation tape and other misc parts I need. Thank you Farmer's friend, Gardening is a real passion for me and you made it much more enjoyable.
