Rain BirdGARDENKIT Drip Irrigation Raised Bed Garden Watering Kit

I have had it out in the yard for a month now and no leaks on system. It is working as described and performing great.

This was my first time ever using any kind of irrigation, and this kit met my expectations. I’m not sure why so many people have low reviews, because I found the kit very user friendly, and it really isn’t that hard to put together. Just took a little time, a little learning curve, and patience to do it correctly. Don’t be scared off by the bad reviews. I liked it so much, that after learning what parts I needed, I added more irrigation to other beds. Would definitely recommend.

This kit ended up working, but the install was really frustrating because the 1/4" distribution tubing does not fit with the tubing adapter that connects it to the pressure regulator - the hole in the adapter is too big, so the hose just slips right out of it, there's nothing to hold it in place... it leaks like crazy. I thought I was just doing something wrong until I looked at the reviews for just that tube adapter by itself here on amazon, and all the recent reviews are people complaining about the same thing and that it doesn't even fit their own tubing anymore.I tried sealing it with silicone, but it wasn't really working. I finally gave up and bought a different style adapter by Habitech that has a barb for the hose to connect to securely, and have not had any issues with that so far.Also, I'm fairly sure there's no backflow preventer built in to this pressure regulator, so you'll need to buy that as well.

I bought the kit for watering my raised beds that are planted with vegetables. The explanations are in very small print, and some parts will not work as described. Even the U-Tube helpers couldn't help. I can't get it fully connected.I wish I could send it back.

Gave to my son for a gift for his birthday to use in his raised bed garden. It works great.
