Watering spinach
Spinach has a fairly shallow root system and does best with frequent and shallow irrigation. Ideally,
it is best to irrigate with sprinklers to get the crop up from seed, but then switch to flood or drip
irrigation to avoid too much moisture on the leaves. Avoid saturated soil conditions, which favor the
development of crown and lower leaf rot.
