Once you have updated your irrigation schedule, you can easily run a test to determine how deep your are watering and if this is the correct amount.

Use a soil probe or a long piece of rebar with a handle on it to determine how deep you are watering. Wait about an hour after the drip system has finished running and then push the probe into the wet ground to see how deep you can get. Mark how deep you got onto the probe and pull the probe back out.
