KC hit the nail on the head. By watering little and often you encourage a shallow rootball as the roots do not have to search for water, its at their disposal. I feel that this could be beneficial for people growing stock in the ground as it minimizes the amount of trauma/root loss that the stock will undergo when collected. Another benefit of the shallow rootball is that it creates a good set of surface roots with minimal work.
