What is WaterUps®
Wicking is the movement of water by capillary action without the assistance of gravity. In a gardening or horticultural context, it is the upward movement of water through soil, giving plants the ability to absorb water from below. Water wicking beds eliminate the problem of deciding when and how much to water.
They can last on average 4-6 weeks without watering. In contrast, surface watering is often required on a daily basis, depending on climatic conditions. Apart from the frequency of watering, there is a saving of up to 85% of water in using the wicking method.
Up until the launch of WaterUps®, the main method of constructing wicking beds was to use river sand or scoria. WaterUps® have proven to be a much more cost-effective and commercially viable method of constructing wicking beds. They also operate more efficiently.
