Hello!
Since drip irrigation, raised beds and loose with the earth (compared to me, at least, I live in California and we have a very hard floor sound), I recommend leaving a few hours drip irrigation every 3 to 5 days. This should be sufficient for your flowering plants, because even if the plants like water, sometimes dry as. PS I assume you have a garden hose to water all the plants themselves, at the same time.
Signs of excess water are the following:
* Stunting
* The yellow leaves yellow leaves of May also mean that the plant is not the case of nitrogen, a chemical in soil, the plants helps.
Water signs are not enough:
* Stunting
* Wilting
* The leaves turn yellow and fall off or die
I hope that helped!
Your irrigation system is on its soil, climate dependent and needs of individual crops. Lettuce, for example, should be kept evenly moist, while the beans are slightly dry between May Giessen. Read labels religiously takes for the water plant. Since beginners tend to over water, check the soil before watering: Dig a hole with a trowel. If the top inches of soil is dry, it is likely that the time in the water. Use soaker hoses, which filter the water gently with minimal evaporation and waste. Let Soakers in a few hours. Attach a timer to the faucet to automate the process. Yellow leaves indicate too much water. Wilting plants or impotence is a sign that you're thirsty.

The best advice I've heard is that the soil moist, but should not be mushy. Excess water is as bad as the lack of water.
