Has anyone here started watering every day yet?

Rain? What a novel concept. We're watering every day - I say we, my lovely wife is watering every day for me whether they need it or not!

Except for rainy days, my automatic watering comes on TWICE a day at 10 am and 3 pm. I have 10 zones of watering and each zone receives 3 minutes of watering each watering.

We’ve had 60s in the day and 50s at night. Been raining since Saturday, no rain today and then rain again Thursday Friday and Saturday. So no watering for me this week. JMs in grow boxes and trees in bussing tubs can go two days (maybe 3) without water otherwise. Apple seems to be thirstier. I water the dawn redwoods and bald cypress daily because they like water and I enjoy watering (not sure I could overwater these if I tried). I dont get around to watering everything everyday until the weather is above 80. Almost everything I have is in bonsai soil (some with added organics), so I’m not overly concerned about overwatering once the growing season is in full swing. That said, I’m outside every morning with my coffee checking on each tree to see what’s going on.

The only thing I change is the duration. In the spring it's 2 minutes; now it's 3 minutes; and it will be 4 minutes during the high heat months.
Of course all things have to change when I move to PA. I will figure that out.

We're expected to have our first 100 F day this Saturday. If it hits, that will set the record for earliest 100 F day in Fresno by over two weeks. Glad I'll be in town to babysit the trees.

Highly depends on your substrate, I'd say. My current blend is requiring me to water my trees (about) 1 to 1.5 days apart. Though it changes with the weather.

Lots of rain here lately.
