I use to water by hand. Then I upgraded to soaker hose. The soaker hose works good, but I found that by the end of the hose pressure was low and not as much water coming out. So I had to use 3 soaker's with quick connect and ran each one for 20 - 30 min. Now I have in ground high pressure irrigation which seems to be working very well for me. Only problem I find it that the soil surface is always dry or not very wet. As I use horse manure and wood chips on the surface this does seem to slow down the composting process I would normally see with standard irrigation systems. If you have a rather larger area I would highly recommend some type of Auto watering system. You can always adjust timers very easy for your time of year and plant needs.
