When you fill the cup with mix, put the pebbles in to cover the bottom about 1/2" or so. Then fill the cup with the mix-somewhat packing but not overly packing it in. Then put the top bucket back into the bottom bucket so the cup is in the filled reservoir and see if the mix wicks the water up. Time it, make sure you get a good wicking on it. Then you can fill the pot with the rest of the mix and cover it with plastic. Let it sit overnight and see that all of your mix has been wicking and moist.
