water question

TightenUp · May 29, 2012

how are you watering your containers? i have 3 containers that are 6 gallons and a couple really large containers maybe 20 gallons. today is the first day i really needed to water them(sooo much rain recently).

anyway today i watered by just pouring water from a gallon watering can. it took a while but thats no big deal. i watered all plants a little then refilled watering can watered all the plants again and repeated this process until water water trickled out of the bottom.

is this too much water? i doubt it is now but if i do this with large fruit on plants will i cause cracking? maybe i should water more often but with less water?
