Rick's right Sooby, great information that most people are ignore(ant) about. And you too Rick. Good info. Way back when (you reminded me of this), we used to use wicking that ran up the middle of the pot and into a reservoir to keep this from happening. I think the reservoir was under the pot - not remembering exactly how it worked...

I also used to create my own wicking pots from un-glazed terra cotta pots (no holes) sitting in a glazed ceramic pot (no holes). The ceramic pot was full of water and wicked evenly into the terra cotta. Someone stole my idea and are now making a fortune.
