DaisyI said: ... 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...

Yes! Yes!! Every time I see an article about eBuckets or self-watering anything, I think about that.

When I asked Al / Tapla what he thought, his attitude was like "Well, you COULD ... but if your potting mix drains right, and wicks right, you should never NEED a wick."

I like your attitude better. It gives more range and scope for my desire to fiddle!
