Wicking pots are unique and increasingly popular
way to grow flowers and vegetables. A wick works through capillary action .Wicking occurs in many materials cotton,wool,
geo-textile, soil, gravel and even wood to some degree. When one end of the
wick is saturated and the other end is dry, it creates a moisture
gradient,which drives the wick until the gradient no longer exists or run out of
water. As the plants use the moisture in the soil,it creates a moisture
gradient (the soil is drier than the reservoir) which drives moisture through
the wick into the soil.
