I'm sure I can find the bark fines - it's paying for enough to do 30 containers worth...

The thing is (and I don't mean to be obstinate here) - with my topsoil/manure/peat combo, I'd water the plants, the water would drain out the bottom holes, and it'd stay moist enough until the next morning. So it didn't seem like there was any problem with drainage - at least not that I figured out.

Is there something I'm missing? What would be the sign of inadequate drainage, and the need for bark fines/etc?

I'm not saying I'm right or anything - everyone seems to think it would be a problem. Which I accept - except my plants grew fine. How would I know? Wilting? Lower production? ....?
