I agree with GB's non-usage of drip irrigation. I used it for several
years, and didn't have great rooting going on. Past 2 years I've
overhead watered and have had excellent root growth. Up here in Northern
Minnesota I've been blessed with not having been hit with any major
fungus effect, so I'm not very concerned about spreading anything. Also,
Digging your sprinklers in around grow area is a pain in the butt.
