What is the best way to water?


weekly hand watering, just to stay in
contact with your plants.


I recommend 2 two gallon jugs with sprinkler tips. watering each
plant individually gives you the chance to inspect the plant and
do a some close hand weeding around each plant.

carrying water to each plant and only each plant reduces weed growth,
provides some good exercise and reduces the overall amount of water
required to produce the edibles.
