Auto pots like as in sub irrigated planters? If so, I loved them. I didn't do any real testing, but it felt like the plants were able to drink more water and grow a little larger compared to the same volume of dirt in a conventional pot. Smart pots seemed to be the best in that regard, but i found them to be a bitch to hand water. I think I want to try them with NoobwannaB's method.
yeah thats the posh term lol ,
i was worried about the issue of over watering so going to keep soil mix light and with air stone in the bottom hopefully they should grow well, cheers

I run a mix of sphagnum peat, compost, and lava rocks mostly. The thread "Making Organic Potting Soil 101" in the organic soil section explains it more thoroughly.

Couldn't say as im unfamiliar. I would talk to verdantgreen if you were interested in making potting soil, as he's knowledgeable in what's available across the pond.

W89 is another limey friend doing the same kind of thing, but I haven't seen him around in a while. Cheers mate!
