I recommend an olla for an excellent irrigation method. It's basically a terracotta container buried in the soil filled with water that leaches out just what the plant needs. There are little spike ones for smaller containers. For larger areas you can make ollas out of terracotta pots and plates or two pots with a little silicone for a seal.

I’m not immediately seeing how ollas work but I’ll investigate it/them further to see if I can save myself some work. Thank you very much.
