For some reason ES, that phrase reminds me exactly of what the Scarecrow said after receiving his brain.
My experiments, based on a very unscientific method... let's call it experiments in practicality, have been going well.
I repotted seven or ten-ish plants with differing amounts of rock wool strategically layered into the area just atop where the reservoir stops, and a layer or so below the top of the pot. Ones where I already knew I was struggling with a too low dry line for the plant. Still mostly LECA. In a couple that were really tall pots, a third small layer in the middle as well.
ALL are doing much better with holding the dry line much higher than before. I was impressed with the difference. I'm not wanting to use rock wool instead of LECA, as it gets yucky looking after awhile, and it makes my hands itch. Just using as a "boost" of the dry line. I'll try to take a couple of picture examples later today showing the difference in similar containers.
