Yeah, way overwatered the first round until I got a moisture meter. Got one of those blu mat meters and got it dialed in. Did great for awhile, but the meter is f'n up already. Giving crazy readings even after resetting and removing the battery. Bought a couple of the ecowitt meters that build a soil guy was using but haven't set them up yet.
The bed is great, but has its drawbacks. Still learning and will be for quite awhile! much different than soil in 5 gallon buckets in the woods!
