Gardening

Now, there was another watering method I used, way back when I had access to some dirt and a yard, in order to water my little food garden.

I used one of those weep-hoses, put it under a layer of straw, and basically set it to "drip." The way I managed that was to turn it on full, in order to fill the hose, and then shut it off, only to 'crack' open the tap to a literal drip. Then I'd leave it on for 24 hours to give the ground a deep soak.

I would think that technique (minus the straw) could work for a lawn, too, seeing as how most people don't ever seem to think of using those hoses that way (people use them like any other watering-system: full on to flood their yard.)
