OK you local gardeners- here is another question!

How often should we run the drip irrigation- how many days/week and for how long?

jdarg,

Do you know if your landscaping is native or drought tolerant? That will make so much difference. If so you can just get it through a long dry spell with a good soaking from your drip system or by hand and not worry anymore.

If they're not established yet, make sure you keep some moisture on the root balls and surrounding soil until they get rooted into your native soil. Just stick a trowel or wooden spoon handle in the root area and see if it comes out with any moisture/damp soil on it.
