Using Al's soil mix

[creister]

Does anybody have any experience using the "Al" potting mix in DIY earthboxes? I am talking about the one that uses pine fines, peat moss, perlite and lime? I only ask, because it seems like my tomatoes in that are in this mix in my DIY eb's, seem like they wilt every 2 or 3 days. I can spruce them back up by watering from the top. I wetted the mix before I filled the resivoir and planted. Do I need to wet from the top more? The mix seems to stay moist, and not too dry. Granted, the plants have only been in them for a week, and we have had not very good weather since last Friday. I did have to use shredded composted pine bark mulch, as no vendor in this town sells anything called fines. Most of the stuff is medium down to fine sized. This is not the nuggets, most of it is much smaller.
