Watering Heirloom's.

Farmer Matt · August 24, 2011

I water my heirloom's once a week, I have 1 gallon emettersl that I run for 45 min. When it is around 95 outside should I water some more. If I water too much my beafsteak's will split.

How does everyone else water there heirloom's.

Thank's,

Matt

My first year with drip irrigation. I run them once a day for 10 minutes at 7 am. If it's really hot (90 +) I give them an extra 10 minutes at 7 pm. We're on very free draining soil, so the daily routine works well. No splitting whatsoever.
