Watering soil blocks...



I am using soil blocks for the first time this spring and have some 
questions... How do you tell if they are watered enough? The outsides of 
the blocks may looked soaked, but I have broken open blocks to reveal 
dry-as-dust interiors... How do other people water their soil blocks? 
Using a mister takes too long, but using a hose erodes them... (I am 
using 2" soil blocks and a mixture of 30 peat: 20 perlite: 10 soil: 20 
compost: 1/3 bloodmeal: 1/3 greensand: 1/3 colloidal phosphate: 1 lime)  
I'd appreciate any advice on this and other soil-block-related matters. 
Thanks!
