Watering advice needs to know where the patch is and what it is growing in. This stays in your browser and is sent only to the weather service, never to us.

Patch area (sq ft)

Leaf covering the patch — 100%

Bare ground between the vines uses far less water than leaf does. Early on, drag this down to roughly what the plant actually shades.
