How do you adjust your drip irrigation system in the fall?

Now that temperatures are cooling down, I’m assuming my garden doesn’t need the same watering schedule it did all summer. How do you usually adjust your drip irrigation system for fall? Do you change the timer, watering frequency, or anything else?

Depends on your region. Here in AZ, the local Cooperative Extension has guidelines on their website.

It is a good idea to adjust and reduce your watering frequency based on temperature and rainfall. Make sure you provide enough moisture to support healthy roots without keeping the soil unnecessarily wet.

I would keep the same time so it gets a deep soaking just change the frequency of it.
