Either slow drip watering or a good soak once a day is best, but be careful as I think you put trays in the bottom didn't you. Try to keep the leaves dry and if that is difficult because they are thick on the ground it is fine to remove the leaves back to the stem to aid watering. I do this every year to prevent problems. Hand pollinating just needs a small paint brush dusted from flower to flower this just tries to help fruit set and also gives you a more reliable crop.If leaves get in the way of fruit ripening I do remove the leaves to let the sun in too.😁
