Many times you start digging a hole or trench and add organic matter. That's fertilizer and holds water, then you break the surface every time it rains. It can get much more complicated with surface at a given angle to the sun ... holes prepared previous fall...

Varieties are usually selected for this, so have stronger root systems and are more drought tolerant. There were all kind of vegetables, even things like cauliflower and zucchini. De colgar tomatoes were usually dry farmed. You don't mind if they are smaller, and obviously last longer. As a rule, you should never water these tomatoes more than half you would do with regular tomatoes, and tomatoes don't require that much water anyway.
