Watering vegetable gardens by hand is time-consuming and inconsistent. The Small Garden Bed Drip Irrigation Kit is the simplest way to automatically water up to three 4' x 8' raised beds with zero hassle. This complete package comes with everything you need from the faucet to the last plant, allowing you to open the box and start building immediately. Designed for the easiest setup possible, it requires no glue, clamps, or complicated tools—our "Easy Loc" fittings simply push and twist to lock.
This easy-to-install DIY kit promotes healthier plants using the included Soaker Dripline, which delivers water slowly directly to the roots to keep foliage dry and disease-free. The system is flexible and forgiving, perfect for square foot gardening with simple push-in fittings to navigate corners easily. It is also designed to start small and grow later; the system is fully expandable, so you can easily add more beds next season by simply plugging in more tubing.
We have pre-calculated the components so you don't have to; simply snap the parts together to ensure every plant receives uniform hydration. Most gardeners prefer to keep their hose available for other tasks, so we highly recommend adding a Brass Y-Splitter to your order so you can run your irrigation system and your garden hose simultaneously.
This system connects easily to any standard outdoor hose faucet.
Step 1: The Header (Faucet Assembly)
If you purchased the kit With Timer, attach the Timer to the faucet first. Next, simply screw on the Filter, then the Pressure Regulator, and finally the Easy Loc Female Hose Start. This entire assembly is commonly referred to as the "Header."
Step 2: Lay the Mainline
Run the 1/2" Mainline Tubing from the Header to the perimeter of your garden beds. Use the Easy Loc Tee or Coupler to split or extend the line if needed. Close the end with a simple Figure 8 End.
Step 3: Connect the Beds
Use the included Punch Tool to easily punch a hole in the Mainline. Insert a 1/4" Transfer Barb and attach the 1/4" Micro Tubing to run up into the raised bed.
Step 4: Layout the Dripline
Inside the bed, connect the 1/4" Soaker Dripline to the Micro Tubing. You can run the dripline in rows or snake it around your plants (typically 12" apart). The line is flexible, so your rows do not have to be perfectly straight. Secure it with the Hold Down Stakes.

"Don't waste time with box store junk"
"Honestly, just buy the DripWorks kit. I tried piecing it together myself with parts from [Big Box Store] and it leaked everywhere. The DripWorks tubing is legit commercial quality and the fittings actually lock tight. Setup took me maybe 45 minutes for 4 beds."

"Customer service is a lifesaver"
"I was intimidated by drip irrigation, but this kit made it so simple. The best part? I actually called them when I wasn't sure about my faucet pressure, and a real person helped me figure it out in 5 minutes. You don't get that on Amazon."
- Sarah M., Google Reviews
"3 Years later, still like new"
"I bought this small kit for my first raised bed three years ago. The tubing hasn't cracked in the sun like the vinyl stuff I used to use. I've since expanded it to two more beds just by adding more dripline. It's the only brand I trust now."
