5% by volume watering 🌱 Soil & Medium

Jeremy's baseline watering rate for living soil: fresh soil gets approximately 5% of its volume in water, and established soil with plants in it never gets more than 5–10% at once. For 70 gallons of soil that's 3.5 gallons of water.

'With watering with living soil we're typically trying to stay in the 5 to 10 by volume range.'
