I recommend drip irrigation for maximum harvest.

Mid Florida. 18in deep hole filled with high quality Miracle Grow soil and lots of time release fertilizer. Planted a healthy papaya on top of that and set it up with drip irrigation from DripWorks, just the right amount early morning and early evening. Twice a week I would pour some liquid Miracle-Gro down the trunk to get it into the roots.

That thing grew like gangbusters and always had 12 to 20 football sized papayas. It got to be about a year-and-a-half old and 15 ft tall until a hurricane blew it over.
