Lately I've been focusing my builds on the no soil method, where you basically build the shape of the ground out of egg crate and mesh (or foam) then cover it with moss, leaf litter, and anything else you would normally top off the soil with, and plants are kept potted and placed on top...

Hi guys, I had been planning all along on using a leca false bottom, but read some comments from Tihsho in another thread indicating it tends to wick too much and make things soggy. Do others have this experience? I also have some egg crate, probably enough to do a false bottom as well as...
