I don't know, I was worried about ny room being too dry, I've got an AC unit in there and it seemed like they were drying out fast. I was also told that keeping light off the surface can help prevent the algae or whatever that can attract flies. There are also rocks at the bottom for drainage.
Anything on top of your soil prevents evaporation. Depending on how "airy" or porous it is. Clay being least water leaking out or in. Mostly around. Rocks sock up water like a thick sponge if submerged long enough. Anyone built a campfire using rocks pulled from a creek or river can tell you why its a bad idea.

Just because I can't spell misanthrope doesn't mean I'm completely stupid.
drying out fast is actually a good thing, as you can feed em more often and gain more precise controll of their needs
as a quick fix to your algea problem, just save a few pizza boxes which you cut out in disc form the size slightly larger than the diameter of your pots, make one cut, from the center to the outside, pull this cutted disc between pot and plant ... can be modded up with time n money :P
