I read in one of these threads to fill each jug with about 2 1/2" of potting soil - to put potting soil in the bottom and then top that with a layer about a half inch thick of Jiffy Seed starting mix or similar. They said it seems to help when there is too much moisture.

Another dumb question - on each milkjug, I drilled four holes around the top and four in the bottom for drainage. I just saw a photo of a milkjug that had more than twice that many. Do I need to drill more holes for water & drainage?

I have three friends who will WS with me this year, so I don't want us all disappointed if we do it wrong! :^(
