Hey team! I decided to add some Blumat self watering stakes to my grow this run, two per pot. Theoretically, the water will be drawn into the soil as needed, just requiring me to refill from time to time. I was worried that by going through the cycle between watering, I was not optimizing the microbes in the soil. I wanted a more constant soil moisture level. The reviews on the Blumats were overwhelmingly positive. I am anxious to test them out and let you know if I come across any issues. I am hopeful that this simple change will relive any concern about the wet/dry cycle and its impact on the soil web.
