     no irrigation.  that is, all moisture is coming   
   from rainfall and is being managed to preserve it   
   and use it during the growing season.  read up on   
   dry farmed wheat growing as an example of the   
   techniques they use which may help for tomatoes.   
   if you have enough mulch or covers to hold in the   
   soil moisture long enough then you can get a crop.

     the right varieties and hoping for rain in the   
   right amounts at the right time.
