    Ive been using them for a while now but I just feel like it takes forever to finally penetrate the bottom 3 inches with water cause it all comes out of the sides right above that 3 inches. I feel like I have to water in processes to fully moisten everything. Do you just water them in one shot or do you give them a bit of water let it absorb then do another round or two until you feel its totally moist? Obviously Im not having problems with watering but I was just curious on your process with the smart pots.
