Less-is-more moisture rule 🌱 Soil & Medium

Jeremy's core watering philosophy: it is always possible to come back tomorrow and add more water, but you cannot un-water an overwatered soil. Overwatering drowns the biology, removes oxygen, and can turn the mix anaerobic. Always err on the dry side.

'With moistening the rule is less is more. I can always come back tomorrow and add a little more water; what I can't do is come squeeze this like a sponge if I over water it.'
