I take a 5-gallon bucket and drill several holes in the bottom. I put the
bucket near the base and fill it with compost tea and water. I then let the
hose run slowly in the bucket for hours. Kind of a "Hoosier Drip System".

I was reading on BP about watering and how much water to use. As I
mentioned, I water using a hand wand attached to a garden hose. Based on
what I was reading, I should be putting down alot more water than I am.
What is the proper way to water to insure a good watering? (that will not
remove most of the soils I used to cover nodes)
I was reading about drip irrigation, but that is not possible for me.
Automatic misters or sprayers are also not an option at this time.
