Bottom water method

Post by gr8atweeds »

Could someone explain the best methods for bottom watering.
I've searched the FAQ and could not find the answer to my problem, which is. When I set the
seedlings in a pan of water, the water does not whisk all the way up. It only seems to go up about
1/2 way, not to the top.
What is the best method? Mine isn't working.
Also, is bottom watering best for ALL container gardening?
Thanks

Maybe air pockets in the soul? Try patting them down a little

you have to play around with it, watering top and bottom.
once u get it figured out u will have to add very little water from top.
but dont let top dry out.( or bottom either)
