DIY Mini Self-Watering Wicking Garden

I wanted to show you a DIY Mini Self-Watering Wicking Garden that I made up the other day. I hope you all enjoy!


The way I look at gardening is plants need three things to live, they need nutrients or food, they need water, and they need sunlight or air. That's the only three things that they need, but they need certain levels and volumes of each one.

There's been a lot of growth lately in gardeners who are doing wicking pots or wicking beds and/or air pruning pots. This isn't going to be an air pruning pot, this is going to be a mini wicking bed video and I wanted to do something that was very simple for you that you can do at home in your spare time, you can even get your kids involved and then you can take a bed or a garden bed that's this large that is self watering or a wicking bed and you can put this outside if you want to, if you're an urban gardener or you live in an apartment, this would work great, you can put it out on your deck. You'll have something that's just going to be a whole lot more fun to try on a scaled-back version and you're going to eliminate one of the problems, and that is constant water supply.

Now the only other things two things that you have to worry about is am I giving it enough or the right amount of food or nutrients and is it getting enough sunlight? You've already solved your water issue and it'll solve you from having to babysit it all the time and your plant pots aren't going to dry out and you'll have a lot better production out of your small salad greens. I'm thinking salad greens, maybe some radishes, some chives or green onions would do really good in a small container like this.

Okay. So the reason why, again, that I didn't name a specific build list is because I want you to feel flexible to go out and get a variation of different sizes of things that will work together based on how large of a pot or a garden bed that you're trying to build. This is going to be really great for the window sill or sitting outside on your porch.

It's very simple, very easy to use and this thing should last for years and all I have to do is replace the fabric on the bottom maybe every few times that I plant it.

I hope this is helpful. If it has been helpful, please give us a thumbs up! It does help ratings and when you give us a thumbs up or give a video a thumbs up, it helps other people to find my videos and the more people that find my videos, the more videos that I can make to help you all learn how to garden just a little bit more effectively and save money at the same time.
