1" per week
1" per week is the general recommendation. It's also recommended to do 1 deep watering instead of several short

Watering management
Efficient watering management requires new knowledge and implementable solutions, as well as synthesis of current experiences
every other day each zone for 10-15 minutes for at least 6 weeks.

How much watering do I need
