I buy "light soaker hose" from Home Depot that I can leave as whole hose or portion off. I also buy automatic timer for water to hose. I make two sections and ran them threw out my garden and over tops of fig pots. The smaller tree pots I have just small amount of hose over it for less water and my 5 gal bigger tree pots I have hose curled up one time around tree then onto the next pot. I attach hose to pot with zip tie and seem to work great. Now is hard for me to determine how long to let it drip for to get proper water into pots. Now I have it run for 1hour from 4-5am every day. None of pots seem to be over watered yet none of them seem like they are somewhat dry. I do tis because is less time I spend watering but also so I am not tempted to overwater or get leaf wet when watering. The pots are well drained with good draining soil. Think hour too much once a day? Maybe I do hour every other day? I know how to tell if tree needs water but if is being over watered normally I won't know until is too late... Is less more in tis situitation? Maybe 1/2 hour per day?
