Hello GC, Quick question on the moisture levels in your pot of cooking soil: I'm assuming you're attempting to maintain a consistent degree of moisture in your prepped/cooking soil? If that's true are you just using straight up water or a tea of some sorts? Or, for the 3-4 week period, did you just water it once in the beginning? I'm guessing there's a periodic watering required (especially if it's outside) but would love a confirmation.
Straight water. keep it moist as if a plant were in it. It won't take much if any additional water after it's mixed up to keep it moist enough. Twas Ever Thus!
