AlboPepper - Drought Proof Urban Gardening | SIP Raised Beds (201) + Self-Watering Containers + How-To Monitor Moisture Levels @Albopepper | Uploaded June 2015 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
I wanted to share an update on how my wicking bed is working out so far. This year I'm growing peppers, ground cherries and watermelons in it. Things are looking pretty good!

We've had quite a bit of rainfall recently. Fortunately, this raised bed was able to capture and conserve much of that rain. At the same time, it hasn't been so saturated that the plants' roots have drowned and died of root rot.

In this video you'll get a quick look at several SIP self-watering container designs. I'm using 5-gallon buckets, window boxes and 30 gallon totes. Corn, tomatoes, carrots and more!

Finally, I'll demonstrate how you can measure and monitor the moisture levels in your containers or raised beds. The tool used in my video is linked below:
