Build Your Own Sub - Irrigated Planter / Wicking Bed

This week we talk about our newest Project. Indoor Gardening during Winter with sub-irrigated Planters also called Wicking Bed.
Sub-irrigation is the process of watering plants from below, instead of above. The sub-irrigated planter works when you pour water into the fill tube and it flows down into a chamber of
pipes below the soil. Once the chamber is full, the water wicks up through the soil and seeps into
plants’ roots. This system helps to keep soil consistently moist so you won’t have to water as often. Evaporation is very little to not existent, less watering means less Water used, less time spent watering. Which also means you can go for a trip or vacation without worrying about your precious plants 😉
