That's about how often I water, if that often. I guess moist is relative.
Water is
a very expensive commodity for me, so soaking and mulching are about my
only
alternatives. I have had some taprooted plants rot, but that has been due
to an
extended period of summer rain, rather than my own contributions. Humidity
is
not usually high here in this part of Texas.
