I am putting together a mixed succulent bowl with bright light and a fast draining mix. Is a gritty blend enough on its own, or do you also adjust the bowl depth to help the center dry out?

I would leave a little more room than feels necessary at first. In a wide bowl, airflow matters as much as the soil mix, and a shallow gritty container usually gives you more control over how fast the center dries.
