There are so many ways a gardener can water and feed their crop. Some are more strenuous than others. Some might require additional components. At the end of the day we are all trying to do the same thing. Basic watering techniques for vegetable gardens include creating simple furrows and basins. Watering systems involve sprinklers, regular hoses, or soaker hoses. The most complicated way to water plants is to install a drip system.
Furrows: Furrows are shallow trenches between raised beds that channel water to plant roots. This watering method is based on an old farming technique of planting on narrow raised mounds or beds and then using furrows to water. The beds can be 1 to 3 feet apart — the wider apart they are, the more water you use.
Hoses: Watering with a hose isn't the ideal watering system and probably is best for watering containers; for watering individual, large plants such as tomatoes; and when used in conjunction with the basin method. In these situations, you can be sure that you're applying the right amount of water to your plants.
