Wicking System.
A wicking bed is an Australian invention; a self-watering garden bed that increases food production with minimal water usage.
A water-proof liner creates a reservoir beneath the soil from which the water wicks up. The bed is filled through a down pipe that runs along the bottom.
A bottom layer of stones is separated from a top layer of soil by a geotextile creating layers that allows for the passage of water but prevents soil seeping down. An overflow pipe maintains the ideal water level.
