Wicking boxes

The Wicking Box is a unique product made "From the Bottom Up" by students from Caragabal Public School.

A box full of equipment for gardening.

Wicking boxes are similar to a self-watering container. A reservoir of water is stored underneath the plants. The water moves upwards into the soil for the plant roots.

Caragabal Public School are making all inclusive wicking boxes to sell to the public. They will come with all of the materials you need to make a wicking box and grow your own plants!

For a better understanding view this short video of students explaining more about our "From the Bottom Up"  Wicking Box. Enjoy!
