Information
To increase water conservation, a drip irrigation system was installed along with a rain water collection system that uses a 12 inch diameter French drain and buried barrel to collect and store nearly 300 gallons. The watering schedule mimics the natural wet and dry cycle of the Mediterranean ecosystem. Very little watering is done from May through November, usually just misting the leaves. During the winter, long and less frequent deep watering of the root system is done to create a healthy root system.

To determine the best schedule for your garden test the soil moisture by probing 1-3 inches into a plant's root ball to monitor moisture content and ensure that you are not under or overwatering.
