drip-irrigation or flood?

Interested what people prefer for there garden patch? Personally doing flood this year, but am interested in drip for next year. My new location doesn't have enough water for true flood lol.

What do you mean your new location doesn't have enough water for flood?

I personally like flood over drip.

the biggest con to drip irrigation is that it creates channels within the medium that the water flows down... similar to a river... thus preventing water from reaching all roots...

flooding is good because the whole root system is getting hit with wah wah....

just wondering why you closed the poll after 6 votes? hmmm

I didn't limit it to 6 votes, I limited it to x amount of days (can't remember exactly how many).

Is this true? I read that flooding does the same, but drip allows the entire media to absorb water evenly.
