Garden Irrigation System, 132ft/40m 16300PCS Micro Drip Irrigation Kit (3000pcs Adjustable Nozzle), Drip Irrigation with 1/4" Blank Distribution Tubing for Greenhouse Lawn Flower Bed Patio--100set

I have set these up as a stop gap while we wait for our tree drip system to be installed at the end of the summer and thus far they work great, I especially like the fan style stake sprinklers and plan to order more. My only complaint is that the adapter doesn't fit my heavy duty hoses, only my medium and light duty for some reason, they don't tighten up the same and leak terribly with my heavy duty hoses. Also our water pressure is a little to high for these and it takes some fine tuning to keep the connections from blowing apart. Lastly at one point a piece of rubber from the tubing clogged up one of the tee's, but it was an easy fix tracking down and unclogging the plug, can't complain for what it is.

I really like that the kit came with everything you need to get started. Well almost everything, there is one issue which is the 3/4 threads are not for the US market. I had to go to Home Depot and pick up an adaptor for it to work. Included a pic. Overall there are many options from the kit to setup your garden. This is my first irrigation system and I had no issues getting configured and working.Update: After about a day or so using these I wanted to update my review. I downgraded it to 4 stars since I still believe it's a good value for the set. However the hoses are giving me problems as they seem to be on a softer material and tends to come off the sprinkler heads frequently. I had to replace them with 1/4 poly tube from Home Depot.

The media could not be loaded.  I should have done this last year, better late than never i guess. Its easy to install/setup way more than enough nick nacks to set up your backyard. I currently have 8 misters going and theres enough pressure for all of them. Only thing I wished was that the mist was finer, its pretty thick. I might just look into some finer ones elsewhere but for the time being this set up and for the price is pretty awesome!Update: i actually like the thick mist now it's grown on me. I specifically set this little system up to keep my dogs cool during summer and the thick mist wets the cement just enough to wet it and cool it but not to make huge puddles so i end up not needing it on for too long and waste too much water. Quick 10minute timer every hour or so keeps my dogs very comfortable during the peak hours of heat.

This is a good introduction to the drip-irrigation you have heard about, a huge step up from the "spray a ton of water with a large hose" style, or the "use one-size automated sprinklers for all-and-sundry" style. A long tube goes from the faucet to your garden bed, which then can be branched off into smaller side-segments which culminate in small sprinkle-heads of 3 different types.It did not take long to install (with a few caveats listed below) - the pipe is flexible enough, and the connectors are easy enough to manipulate by hand without tools. I did not have to heat anything up because I live in south Florida and leaving the package in the backyard porch (covered) did the trick.But while the design of this is easy and simple, the implementation/production stumbles for quality-control. The 3/4" faucet-connector leaked profusely, and there was nothing I could do to fix it. I ended up driving up to a big-box-store and buying a similar dual-outlet connector. But then I found that the threading on the next piece (the 1/2" + 3/4" threaded faucet connector) is ever-so-slightly different, that it never fit the store-bought-connector. Another trip to get another, expensive, version in metal. This time too the threads were difficult but I could apply some force and jam it in. I hope to not open that again.But while I could fix the connection problem, and get all the water going - a beautiful sight, I give you that - I found another fatal flaw in the design - the entire length of tubing provided is 1/4" thick. I wish they could have given half of it in 1/2" thickness, because the 1/4 is too thin to carry water for all outlets. The first few outlets get all the water, and the others stay dry. I have been having to wait 5-10 minutes, then close-off the leading drippers to allow the trailing ones to get their share of water. If the supply line 'trunk' was thicker, there's a chance the 'branches' would not draw all the water and all a more even flow.That's my theory - for now I am contemplating buying a roll of 1/2" tubing and replacing my main supply line, hoping it works. Fingers crossed. I will update here on the results.So, bottomline - this will not work like magic, but because of the low cost, I would not call it unusable. It just takes some work.

The media could not be loaded.  It is awesome! Installing it was tedious and made my fingers sore, but it is so custom to where and what I need it for that it's totally worth the effort to install it. I'd have liked a little more instruction on which nozzels I should have used for which type of planter and how long and how often to turn it on, but there was plenty of options and most importantly, plenty of hose.(I found that more water less frequently will grow stronger roots. I'm set up for an hour once or twice a week. )
