In Ron's video he mentions that he uses a overhead watering system to water his pumpkins? What do you guys use? Sorry for bothering you?

hey subwaypanther

we hhave a soaker system but to be totally honest with you its more trouble than its worth( costly as well)

we went back to overhead sprinklers that stand on a tripod base. water is pumped from a deep well with its own pump and holding tank.

overhead sprinklers cover well and provide a shower when needed.( especially on the really jot days we mist the plants every few hrs.(helps from tip burning)
we run them off a timer and adjust as needed for max/min soil moisture.this year we will also use a moisture gauge to determine when we need to water.
over watering is as bad as under watering.
