Slopes cause uneven water pressure in the pipes and you will have some areas getting too much water and others not enough.

Hi guys, I'm Rick Stone and Im a gardening fanatic! Over the last 19 years I've grown a large garden at my home and it seems like every year that garden gets a little larger! Most years we grow between 800 to 1100 pounds of fresh veggies for our table and tons of great flowers to make our yard look awesome.
I grow all of my own seedlings and we have learned how to extend our garden harvest to 365 days a year. Even in our zone 5b garden! Growing in cold frames and hoop houses is the key!!
I'm a graduate of the Utah State University Master Gardener program and have been teaching classes for many years on gardening basics and year round gardening. For the last year I have been teaching courses online to nearly 1000 students. Come join me and we will learn everything you need to know to have a successful garden!!

This was a terrific course and I will be out in the garden now putting in my PVC watering system. Just what I needed. Better than standing for hours hand watering my raised beds!

I can't wait to install these in my honeybee garden! Thanks, I enjoyed the course.

By Adam Sharman on 8/6/2020

Good course, it gave me a lot of information and inspiration for what I want to do in my garden. I am looking forward to designing and building my own now. Just have to get my head around the converting US to metric as I'm in Australia. Also looking forward to doing the other courses of yours I purchased.

I really loved this! It was great to see how Rick put everything together and you can tell how passionate and excited he is to share this knowledge to others. I'm so glad I made this purchase!

This is a very good and practical course especially if you plan to relocate from one location to another location with a different garden setup. You are told how to save money and time using a drip irrigation system in your garden.

By Keith Charlton on 6/12/2020

Way too much talk and too little practical examples. You could cut the course by 80% and provide the same information.

Super

just a waste .. only learnt hole spacing

By Stephen Gaydos on 5/11/2020

I had several questions about how to build the system, and they were all answered in the video. The presentation was very thorough and crystal clear. I'm definitely going to build a system for my garden, and I'm confident that it will work very well for me.
