In diverticulosis, many balloon-like sacs (diverticula) develop in the large intestine, most commonly in the last part of it (sigmoid colon). Most diverticula vary in diameter from 1/10 inch to more than 1 inch (about Â¼ centimeter to more than 2Â½ centimeters).
Gardeners connect the drip hose to a water source and lay them along a row of tomatoes or wind them in between plants. Water leaks slowly from the hose at a rate of about Â½ gallon a minute per 100 feet of hose. Drip hoses work best when they lay flat.
Watering Technique. Tomatoes do best when the soil is thoroughly soaked. During each watering, the water should reach a depth of 6 inches to 8 inches, the North Carolina Cooperative Extension advises. Instead of daily waterings when only the soil surface receives moisture, water the plants deeply once per week when rain is not forecast.
