Here's something I learned from an Isreali drip engineer. the first time you
use the system each year (don't use it till you need it!), Turn it on and
leave it on overnight. You won't over water. You're just fully saturating the
irrigation zone. Then, each time you water, you're replacing what was used.
The alternative is that you are continually trying to catch up. You can't see
the roots, but they're struggling against a "dry front" unless you have full
saturation to begin with.
