I either under or over estimate what I need and I do not like having to dry out the media for storage. I guess I'm not a good guesser :>)

That makes total sense. Last night, for instance, I was left with some after potting a couple of plants up- I'm drying it now, as I don't want to store it damp. (It could start breaking down, or get mold) I'm usually pretty accurate, but I was way off this time. I'll remember that- Thanks!
