vegetables and flowers. Wick systems are
very easy to construct, work well and are
trouble free. Moist mixes are suitable for
this unit. The wicks act as a self-regulating
moisture supplier. It is often used by novice
growers because it is hard to make a
mistake using this system.
There are several ways to automate the
wick system. Probably the easiest way is
by placing the containers on a platform
above a water tray and let the wicks dangle
into the water. One grower took a kiddie
pool and placed a pallet inside. The
containers rested on the pallet. A flush
valve system as described for the reservoir
system easily automates these units.
