Our verdict
DripWorks is a California drip supplier, and its small garden bed kit is sized for up to three beds of about 4 by 8 ft. A hose-thread filter and a 30 psi regulator feed 50 ft of 1/2 in mainline, joined with DripWorks’ lock-on Easy Loc fittings. In the beds, 100 ft of 1/4 in soaker dripline with emitters every 12 in runs off the mainline through punched holes and transfer barbs, and 50 ft of plain 1/4 in tubing reaches odd corners. Every part is listed with its DripWorks number, which makes spares easy to reorder, and you can buy the kit with a Galcon Bluetooth timer.
The gaps: no backflow device, dripline runs limited to 28 ft each, no warranty term beyond DripWorks’ 30-day money-back guarantee on unused items, and no Canadian seller we found. It is a solid choice for two or three raised beds; compare it with the DIG ML50, the raised-bed pick in our best drip irrigation kits, and see all seven in the drip kit comparison.
Setting it up
DripWorks says most people finish in under an hour, with no glue and no tools beyond the key punch in the box. Without the timer, the faucet order is the filter, then the 30 psi regulator, then the hose start on the mainline; in the timer version, the Galcon timer goes on the faucet first. Run the mainline through the beds, close it with a figure 8 end and pin it down. For each dripline, punch the mainline, push a transfer barb into the dripline and the barb’s other end into the hole, cut the run at 28 ft at most and plug the end. DripWorks asks for at least 15 psi at the faucet, and the small kit can take up to 200 ft more dripline and 50 ft more mainline.
Neither version has a backflow device, so check that the faucet has a vacuum breaker and ask your water utility what it requires (our backflow preventer guide explains the devices). The kit page gives no winter steps; our winterizing guide covers drip kits.
What owners report
We read 23 owner reviews on DripWorks’ own store, from 2014 to 2026. It is one seller’s pool, so there is no owner summary, but a pattern shows. Most found it easy to put in: two had it running in about an hour, several were first-timers, and one owner with three 4 by 8 ft beds of three lines each found the kit enough. The common complaint is the parts mix: several had to buy extra fittings, stakes or tubing for their layout. One owner on stream water found the filter clogged within seconds, and one found a few emitters spraying while others barely dripped.

DripWorks garden bed kit questions
How many raised beds does the DripWorks small garden bed kit water?
Up to three beds of about 4 by 8 ft, by DripWorks’ sizing; its medium kit covers nine and its large kit eighteen. Each dripline run can be up to 28 ft long. If you add a bed later, the small kit can take up to 200 ft more dripline and 50 ft more mainline; DripWorks doesn’t recommend extending the medium or large kits.
Should I buy the DripWorks kit with the timer?
If you want watering to happen while you are away, yes: the KGB1-T version adds a Galcon Bluetooth timer that sits on the faucet ahead of the filter. Of the owners we read, one found the timer took a while to work out and another found the Bluetooth app made programming easy. We couldn’t read the timer version’s price, so compare it with adding a hose timer yourself.
Does the DripWorks kit have a warranty?
The kit page gives no warranty term. DripWorks’ returns page offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on new, unused items, refunds or replaces items it finds defective within that time, and points to the maker’s warranty after it. It also says products used without proper filtering are not covered, so keep the kit’s filter in place.
