Peppers, anything I grow on plastic (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers,zucchini, even cabbage and pumpkins) I bury drip line beneath the plastic and can drip irrigate and fertigate. Very seldom do we have a summer that it is not needed at least part of the season. If we have a really wet summer then the cost of the drip tape was crop insurance.
I haven't yet tried to drip sweet corn or green beans but I'm considering it. I buy my water from the township water authority and everyone thinks this is expensive but if you consider no pumping costs, very little filtering costs and no capital expense of developing a water source it isn't so bad. Wouldn't want to do this farming today without some source of water. Great granddad and granddad and uncle did though.
