Containers

[Rose White]

I don't know where I saw this, but I believe there is a "wick" system whereby you run a wet wick from a bucket into the soil of the potted plant or plants. Water creeps up the wick based on the amount of moisture in the soil.

Has anyone else seen this set up?

I used a system like this for my Christmas tree and it worked well. The water needed to be higher than the container holding the water for the tree, though.
