I use a .5 gph per container set a few inches from the base of the plant. I like using the lower gph emitters set on a longer watering time. It helps the soil wick the water throughout the entire container vs a 1 or 2 gph emitter that floods the container and pours water out of the bottom without properly watering the soil. Soaker hose will also work well for the same reason as the .5 gph emitters.
