Galvanised Wicking Beds

Each bed comes with a rolled edge at the top to protect you from sharp edges, a sealed bottom, as well as an adjustable water level riser and inlet pipe.

The galvanised finish evokes a certain nostalgia with their old school charm. Each wicking bed is soldered and put together by hand in Seymour, Victoria.

Wicking beds come in a range of shapes and sizes to suit your needs. We currently offer round, oval, square & rectangle - available stock varies.

NOT suitable for fish.

What is a wicking bed?

A Wicking bed is a closed system garden bed, which includes a water reservoir below the soil level, providing water for plants to access at all times.

During surface watering or rain, water runs through the soil and is stored below. The reservoir can also be filled using a fill point installed in the wicking bed.

An overflow point is fitted to allow for drainage of excess water.

How does it work?

Plants draw moisture up through the soil via capillary action, much like a wick in an oil lamp.

This allows for more even watering, more water accessibility during hot weather, less evaporation and less frequent watering.
