Do you put a layer of perlite or hydroton in the bottom of your pot when you use it with autopots watering system in the pot? It looks like some people do and some do not. How much do you put? I am planning to grow in 50% soil 40% perlite 10% biochar in 3 gallon fabric pots with biotabs organic dry amendments in the pot. What do you do for it on there?

I put a layer of cheesecloth in the bottom of my Airpots to prevent clogging

sounds like auto pots over water depending on your mediums aeration/drainage, also excess food/ promix will get sucked in the auto pot reservoir, looking like shit. would allow max dissolved oxygen thats in the water though to be took up though
