My friend thank you for good sharing. Have a good relationship
It's wonderful to see this story. We've had wicking beds for 7 years and love it! Was always surprised that Gardening Australia weren't giving wicking beds any attention. Glad they now are.
It really is a good way to stop all of your fertilisers being leached! Really need a lot less using this technique
