I'm sorry. I didn't see that you requested my company.
Speed holes! They certainly help to dry the soil more evenly. The buckets that I am using are really tall. They are the typical plastic 5 gallon. The bottoms were staying very moist but the top half was dry as a bone.
I'm actually watering them every three days now instead of once a week with topping them off. It works better IMO.
There you are you little dickens
What size holes did ya drill?
