Yes, self watering container. There is no automatic watering source, just me hunched over with a hose over the buckets.
Maybe SWC isn't the best way to do this, then.. because reducing the watering could mean the peat-moss based potting mix will dry out, which then is a PITA to get moistened again. It could end up channeling which makes it very tough to keep watered. Hmmm.
Any suggestions on container mix for cantaloupe then? I have 6 seedlings, and no space except on my patio balcony.
