Turned off res and waited for valves to dry out. Waited one more day because media is so lite but too lite to wait. Top watered w/Fish Shit and 1/2 tbsp Recharge per gallon. Watered sparingly for 24 hour period due to fast drain. Was able to avoid water leak which was actually water overflow by NOT watching valve boxes close enough. Happy with results so far. Plan to kill remaining mulch and scratch the top leaving straw in place. Forgot to mention I added 4 red wiggles worms to each pot from yard compost bin.
