Default How do you water your bananas?

Another HOW DO topic.

I notice in some of the pictures you guys have been posting that you have what looks like drip or low pressure irrigation heads or soaker hoses.

Thought this would make an interesting discussion.

At this time, I'm just using the auto sprinkler system augmented by hand watering when there has been no rain. We just move here in April so I haven't gotten beds and such put in yet. Just throwing plants in the ground to get them growing.

I just stand there with the hose until they start growing.

in gh i use a soaker hose.. this allows me to move on and get a deep watering, instead of kinda flowing off mound..

yard i really don't water that much until i lay down a pound of fert.
then i stand and get a tan and water..LOL
