Al,

thanks for the post. Elevating the pots also allows air to flow underneath the pots, helping with drainage, preventing mold and mildew on your benches, and allowing that bottom layer of soil to dry out.

I switched from checking with my finger to checking with a chopstick awhile ago and I believe I was over watering before since the chopstick has led me to water less than my finger did.

Thanks again Al for a informative post.
