I understand that wababi requires lot's of fresh, clean, flowing, cold
water (it's like trout, I guess you could say), which is why it has only
recently begun to be grown in a very small number of places outside the
region of Japan where it is traditionally grown. So if it ends up seeming
to not be thriving for you in the crock, you might try to somehow more
closely emulate these alleged requirements.
