Thank you!
>> Some of my plants such as my Angel Trumpets need to be watered daily here in Texas
I bet that's a really tricky balancing act: retain enough water to get them through the dry heat to the next watering, but open enough to let air in to the roots.
I was planning to try tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets with fast-draining bark-y mix, but figured that even in cool coastal PNW, I might need to put in drippers and a twice-a-day timer.
