Content

In this episode we show how to install drip irrigation on a native plant garden. This is only necessary if we are in a bad drought or since we are planting in the middle of the summer. Irrigation will be necessary to get these plants established but once they are established they won't need any since they are native, but I still like to keep it on so that everything grows faster and so that all the insects and hummingbirds that depend on these plants for food have something to eat.

I use 1/2-in drip irrigation, then I use the plastic couplers to connect them, as well as the attachment that hooks it up to a househose spigot

Round Rock Texas Lawn Kill Part 2 - How to Install Drip Irrigation Line for Native Plants

How to install drip irrigation real quick and easy nice, plus a look at some of the things we planted here, including Salvia penstemonoides, Salvia darcyi, Berberis trifoliolata, Muhlenbergia lindheimeri Muhlenbergia reverchonii Vernonia lindheimeri Chrysactinia mexicana Salvia chamaedryoides Wedelia hispida Myrospermum sousanum Ptelea trifoliata Fraxinus albicans Rhus trilobata Agave ovatifolia and more.... plus a brief explanation of we cut leaves and shoots off of plants that we are planting that have shallow roots or plants that we are digging when saving from bulldozing and development, etc. Your contributions support this content. It sounds cliché but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, bee-stings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the public, accompanied by a small dose of profanity and crude humor. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good. Plants make people feel good. Plants quell homicidal (and suicidal!) thoughts.
