I looking to fill a 15g of soil into a fabric pot. I thinking about put about 3 inches of perlite at the base then my organic soil on top of that. I'll put a fabric barrier between the soil and perlite. Im thinking about putting that fabric pot in a large tray with water 2.5 inches in height.I'm trying to create a wicking system effect. Anyone see any concerns with this. Thanks.

What you describe is similar to how the Autopot system works. They recommend 1-2 inches of aeration (perlite is one) at the bottom of the pot, then adding in the medium.
