Your question is one that does not have a definitive answer. In your case, be sure not to overwater creating a overly wet situation given the rich amount of organic matter contrasting with the heavy clay soil surrounding the planting pit. Here in Illinois, we suggest checking every 5-7 days and watering only when needed. variables include air temperature, amount of natural rainfall, drying winds, etc. the only roots you plants have right now are in the immediate root ball. Surrounding soil may be moist, but unavailable right now. Water well before cold weather as your plants are alive year round.
