should you let them dry out completely (looks like dry but soft dirt, as opposed to dark moist earth) before watering again? or should it stay lightly saturated?

not dry and not saturated. slightly damp to the touch.
I'm not a huge fan of peat pellets though.

mild compost mixed with perlite.
I've been happy with Agway composted cow manure with humus, or Coast of Maine seaweed compost.
30% perlite! =drainage
