Although with your very little load a manual or cron based vacuum full once a
week will be more than enough.
I'm doing a biweekly vacuum full with one of my customer's machines  (an
office application that uses pg as backend) and never had complaints or
problems. That setup makes about 5000 transactions a day - still a very low
load for postgres.
