Hello,
I am going to try my hand at some fruit trees in 5b about 90 minutes from our primary residence. The issue is that we don't have a well yet on the property where the trees are to go and I am looking for a good watering system that will enable me to be away for a week or so at a time. Might be a hard situation to start fruit trees but I'm going to give it a go. Most drip systems seem to have 4-8 hour rates, I'm wondering about something on the order of days to a week or two. SteadySpring seems like the right idea, but I'm not sure if this is too good to be true (soak it, put it under the mulch, and it will water over ~30 days, AND replenish with rain??... ). Any ideas appreciated.
Thank you!
