Now fill as you would normally and mulch to keep moisture from evaporation.. Oh and also, you can use water absorbing polymers in your potting mix to help as well.

Whalla.. My secret to keeping my pots from needing water hourly.

I also do this with hanging baskets that use the coir liner. I line with plastic, make drainage hole and plant. Everybody is much happier this way!
