A bit of background to the Wicking approach

Here are three good sites on wicking beds and tubs to give an idea of what they are all about.

This site provides a reasonable explanation of how to build the beds and tubs, I pretty much followed the approach:

This site is more about what can be grown (in the tubs, he has heaps of them and is into self sufficiency):

His blog is quite readable and I do like his chook house. This was the site that got me interested in the wicking idea.

Finally this site is more about the science and is often linked to I think as the source of the idea:
