Rule of thumb is 1" / week, at least around me. Between rain & watering it. I suspect that's a bit high, but it is what is for planning :D Preferrably in one shot so it can soak deep, rather then 2 or 3 shallow ones that dry quick and encourage roots to develop near the surface. 1s.f. x 1" of water = 144 cubic inches; 231 c.i. to the gallon. So figure on about 1/2 gallon a week per s.f. of garden. Just scientific wild @ss guess worw, figure 6" wide "zone" around the base of the plants, that's about 1 gallon for every four feet of row you're watering. 5,500' in the mile, divide by 60 = 92 feet per minute. 92 / 4 = 23 gallons per minute to deliver the equivelant to 1" of water over a 6" wide row.
