WATERING
Our plants are watered daily, always in the early evening and when the weather is very hot they also get watered in the early morning. Each watering is done for 10-15 minutes.
To begin with we did all the watering by hand using just a hose and gentle spray nozzle. Eventually, when we wanted to go away for a couple of weeks, we had to put in an automated system which in total cost around $150.
We use a simple grid system of 9mm poly pipe that surrounds each garden bed and directs jets of water mist over the plants. We have a battery powered 2 outlet timer that controls the watering and can supplement this with hand watering if we need to.
