OK, I got the MUCK part ( I hope)....I have these JWP that has not been repotted for a long time (about 5-7 years). From what I can tell, the slab doesn't have any drainage holes. The JWP has been on the slab for at least 10-15 years. The JWP is about 45 years old and it was imported. My question is that JWP prefers drier conditions compare to other pines. Therefore, cracks in the MUCK wouldn't harm the JWP? My other question is that how do I know when will the JWP will need water? Though the MUCK might be moisted how will I know that the inside is being water correctly?
