Salty,
Can you read us off a list of the ingredients in your potting mix?
Also, can you snap a photo of the surface of the EarthTainer mix at the base of the plant?
If the potting mix feels dry, then perhaps the upward wicking capillary action did not start properly. When you originally put in the potting mix, did you throughly wet it layer-by-layer? If the layers of the potting mix are dry, it will actually act as a barrier to moisture wicking up from the basket.
