I have just potted some of my plants in fired clay (some 100%, some 50/50 with bark) as per a few articles I've read here and other places. It drains well, really well. The problem I'm really having with it as a beginner is how to tell when to water again. With soil, you can really feel the moistness or even wetness after watering, but with this stuff, it really seems to me to be the same 10 minutes after watering as it is 24 hours after watering. I can easily tell the completely dry particles by the color, but as to whether it is moist or wet, I'm really having trouble with that. Can I just assume that since I'm using this, I should have to water every day? Or should I wait for the top particles to dry out before watering again?
