Yes, very cool. My wife and I found out about wicking beds about three years back, and they work very well. While we still have to add water manually, they are an excellent way to grow food with very little water. I am new here and made my first post about our system. Please have a look. I originally got the idea from a series of youtube videos from a gardener in Australia and adapted for our needs. We have more wicking beds to build and look forward to incorporating the float system for self watering.

That is awesome. I really enjoyed the post thank you for sharing it with me. The float system is a great and easy addition I think. I like being able to save water however we can. Please share the new beds with me if you can
Thank you. I have about 800 gallons of water storage between a 12x12 greenhouse and an 6x14 traditional raised bed. It is my intention to install wicking beds in both in the next year with a float system. I'll post, but it might be a few months.
