I have a water wicking system for a set of pockets on a vertical planter, and that nylon sleeve with the hose clamp seems like a great way to regulate the water flow. Thanks for that, and all the best in your future endeavors!
This is a great study thanks. I was thinking of a similar setup so far lacking a valve or regulator knowing I need gravity feed. The clamp is great, hoping its enough control to prevent too much. You could also try a Thinking of applying it just as top irrigation for no till organic top dressed gardens or pots, needing to mimic rain direction, nature. Would a ring or spiral on the top work, or would it be better to run thinner but multiple lines? How long can the flex tubes run from the supply tank and are they able to run along the ground to a pot or remain at top soil level? Setting up ideal flow rates for container size. Could also put a shim in the clamp or use two flat brackets with screws for a better pinch. Adjusting and measuring the bucket over time is the fun part I guess. Thanks for the help getting started, hope to see more or contribute
I live in brisbane Australia its very hit here in summer, any tips on keeping the water from going stagnant? I use a bucket with cotton wicking coming through the pot with dirt into the bucket of water
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and research!

thanks
I studied pitcher irrigation and got very good results
Seep well water wicking is what I dreamed up that brought me here
1:54 i was searching for this. Thanks!
Really helpful talk, thanks for posting!

Nice job! Great idea, go for it! I've been thinking about a wick ladder to raise water instead of pumping it. Thoughts?
Fantastic, well researched too
Thank you!
Thank you!
Can nutrients be wicked from the container?
Good ideas, I’m working on developing a water saving method, you might find my latest video useful, it includes wicking.
