Anybody used one of these things from Bunnings? Ive set it up according to the very vague instructions, filled it with plants and soil….gone to water it and the water is draining out the legs? Am I missing something or does that make a self water planter useless OR is this for excess water or something?
I called the number on the brands website and, of course, it's not even a working number….

Lolz. Bought a similar thing and only used it as a raised bed. If it’s supposed to be a wicking bed then it’s not fit for purpose and I’d return for refund.
They are not meant for indoors
you could probably seal it with knead-it aqua. check if you’re not missing any plugs or plastic pieces. i have a few similar ones with hollow legs but haven’t looked at them properly yet.
They are designed to be outdoors only. They need sun to create water droplets to self water and the legs are used to drain excess water to prevent root rot and water logging. Ideally they should be placed on level soil or grass.
The picture on the product is misleading and inaccurate.
