Been busy busy getting this IBC wicking bed made. Never done one and as I researched them it seems many dont put wicks in but I did as you can see. Some cotton wadding and some geo tested cloth like I used to seperate soil n water.

Then I placed peat moss perlite mix around them and filled in with soil mix..

I put in 25lbs peat moss
125lbs soil
30lbs organic fertilizer
30lbs compost

And I'll probably add another 30 to 40lbs.

I dug a couple of holes and left them for the night to see if there was wicking action. Photo of wet hole and small transplant.

Plenty of wet soil below. Should be fine for what I'm growing.
