Hi!

Out of necessity (poor, in-ground drainage) I have started container gardening around my deck. I love clay pots, but seem to have to water the plants at least every other day, some daily. What are your opinions about the soil moistening products out there? I read about the sponge tip, but don't want to replant. Any other ideas? BTW, the plants are varieties of daylilies, dwarf ivory halo dogwoods, variegated iris, gayfeathers, and hosta--all potted in clay.

Thanks!

Brooks
