Watering

Dear All,

I'm looking for advice about watering frequency and volume. As I read the posts there seem to be two methods of watering that people are using, infrequent heavy watering and daily watering. Here's what I do and I'd like peoples take on it.

Anything in a pot gets watered pretty much every day that it doesn't rain.
Anything that's germinating gets watered every day that it doesn't rain.
Water hungry plants like squash get a soaking every couple of days.
As for the rest, I use a moisture gauge to check if the soil is damp at root level and if it is, I don't give them anything.

My patch is very dry on top, but you only need to go down about 3 inches to get to the start of the moisture. Go down another 3 and it's nice and cool and damp.

How do you water your plot and what do you think?

Thanks for the advice. It's been raining solidly here for the last 6 hours so I won't need to do anything for a while.
