Default pump going continuously

Ron,

I read in a couple of posts your recommendation to just leave the drip emitters on constantly.
Currently I have them on for about 30 minutes every 90 minutes or so. Would they be better off by
having the pump going continuously?
Thanks!

No don't run continuously unless you have an NFT system. Your time sounds perfect to me. You
will know if you need to water longer if the tops of your plants wilt between watering.
