Soil with fine particles is likely to hold more water for longer

Jim is moving in the right direction with this response. Depending on your
growing environment, the particular species, and your particular watering
habits, either a faster or slower draining soil will do the job.

Those of you using Akadama are in another soil category with respect to how
the particles work when the tree is watered or fertilized.

Cordially,
