My location is DRY and HOT. I water with a drip system 2 times a day for 30 minute intervals using 5 gal/hr drippers. Before I started doing this I was loosing plants to dehydration. Since I installed a timer, the whole garden is starting to look lush, and the vines are starting to grow more evenly. I don't think this works everywhere, though. In more humid climates, this could be bad. Where I live, 15% humidity is typical. 30% humidity, and people start saying things like, "What is this, the East Coast?" So you may want to water less often in Vermont. Toby

I haven't watered for almost a week. We had a huge rain storm, and the soil is still pretty saturated.
