I used it last year in 3gal. Containers (mostly cherry types), top watered by hand. My fines last year, seemed to me to be much composted, but made a very fast draining mix.

For two weeks in August, they sat on cinder blocks in a kiddie pool, with ¼” polypropylene cord wicked down into the water, while I was out of town. They seemed to do much better during the time I was gone. I will definitely devise a way to self water them from now on.

Since you say the mix seems to stay moist, I’m guessing the new transplants may just be suffering a little shock. I think I’d just continue to top water until they get better established into the new mix, and see what happens.
