Hi,
I am experimenting with soil/root zone ventilation and am growing w/ both plastic and fabric pots. From time to time I "massage" the pots from all sides until the soil cracks and losens up. Also, I recently installed a sort of a plastic fence underneath the pots, allowing for more airflow.
I really do not like having tons of moisture and watering whil still moist isn't what I'd like to do. As much as one waits, specialy in the seedling phase and growing in large pots from the start, only watering when the entire pot has dried out may prive the roots from getting any, while it is gathered at the lower portion of the pots.
My question is: does anyone have experience with soil ventilaition?
What am I missing?
