this is why earthboxes work so well, the mix wicks up the moisture it needs and the aeration holes allow air movement. So I think that having a soil that allows for air to be drawn down after rain is perfect. Hard to do when you have a hard clay base like I have :-(
This is why I grow 95% of my plants in pots, SWT's etc.
