You could do a little custom drip thingie on a timer...
I have seen some gardeners who custom rig their irrigation all the time. I’m too afraid of goofing it up but really, how hard can it be? I have a kit that I’ve been too chicken to mess with for years. I’ll have to try and set it up this year.
I put little Harbor Freight soaker hoses all over the place last year and it really made a major difference. I wish I’d done it years ago but was never good at gardening so figured it would be a waste of money.
Mr. mm could manage something like that with no trouble.
Me?
I’m in your camp, except that I’m pretty good at growing things from lots of practice.
