    For every 2.3 feet of elevation you gain 1 pound of pressure. Page 12 of the new (free) Dripworks catalog talks a little bit about low pressure systems.

    @jihadacadien - I just took an organic gardening class and they mentioned that it can be done if you sit your rainbarrel up about 3 feet or so and have the dripline run from the bottom out to the garden. Doing it that way provides the pressure needed to move the water. But, it also depends on how long your drip line is, too.

    Great idea. You are a great presenter Patty. Always very clear. You should have your own tv show.

    Great video as always! Would be nice if a system like that could work with rain water. I suppose with a pump.?

    Do chemicals leech from the plastic and in to the water that is watering the plants?
    I know it happens in a lot, but not all plastics.

    …though I wonder, is it the same principal for ‘gravity’ fed systems ? Like at my new plot we have no taps ! , only water butts… gues It”ll work with some bodging ..

    Neat. Thanks for the tips. I think there were a few logical errors in this system that Patti would have done different on her own. Good info though. Cant wait for the good weather to show up.
