An exciting workshop on building and managing self-watering gardens and wicking beds.

• Exciting idea for city food gardening
• What is a wicking bed?
• Gardens with a water tank at the base
• Designed so the water ‘wicks upwards’ into the soil, like a candle wick
• These gardens are self-watering – great when you are not home
• Commercial wicking beds are available on the market, however at this workshop you will learn how to make your own

Come to Kimbriki to learn the secrets of wicking bed design and management.
