Some notes for myself really... but I'll try to say them in a way that makes sense.
My observation of some hills with multiple plants suggest to me that the basics of nutrient availability, via water and soil, seem to be areas where I should try to increase my results. My soil drains so well it does not hold much water or nutrients because its sandy loam atop pumice... that 'flood irrigation' might be the way to go. Drip irrigation seems inferior for my situation and flooding is easy... Let a trash can warm for a day mix in fertilizer and dump the water out. If I had a really big plant in hot weather it might take four barrels or trash cans per day. This would eliminate a few issues with overhead and drip irrigation. I might get some nice gains if the roots were a little warmer. Smaller plants could use one barrel per day. The root zone will still be limited though by the distribution of the water.
