If you have the time and/or the money and motivation to set up an irrigation system i am sure you could get much better results than i had. Watering by hand on 90-100 degree days and not over watering or letting them dry out takes more time and attention that I could give them.

That is so true, and it is the biggest problem my customers run into. I always suggest a cheap drip system with a timer from Home Depot or Lowe's, they connect right to a garden hose and are very easy to assemble. Up here the cost is under 40 dollars. The problem is feeding consistently by means of the system. One will have to feed by hand and adjust the strength to meet the demand and frequency. Once this stuff is figured out and installed, it is a real joy instead of just more work. Good luck this fall
