| Over the weekend I made a batch of 5-1-1 the "right way". I put some young palms into the mix. Tonight I looked through the drain holes and I can see that the bottom most layer of bark is moist (wet?) I can still see the glistening of moisture on the bark. Normal right? That's not perched water right? |

| Yes, that's normal :-) If you tilt the container 45 degrees, any perched water should dribble out.

| Josh, No more water dribbles out when the pots are tilted. That makes me feel better. |
