Thanks Zandor!

I actually added more holes after purchasing the pots as I wanted a little more air for the bottom of the soil. I am using a compost/manure/potting soil mixture. I also have a nifty cover for the top of the soil (see other postings) that really have eliminated most of the evaporation. I also have a layer of Peat Moss under my nifty cover to even further reduce evaporation.

Is this wrong?
