WaterUps Wicking Beds
HALS are proudly the Tasmanian distributors for WaterUps. WaterUps are a Sydney based company producing Australian designed and made wicking beds from Colorbond steel and wicking bed systems from recycled plastic. Wicking beds are a water efficient option for all plants. Wicking beds save you time by reducing watering from potentially daily to as long as once a month depending on weather and the wicking bed system.
More Information on Wicking Beds
Wicking is the movement of water by ‘capillary action’, where water is drawn upwards due to surface tension and the interaction of adhesive and cohesive forces. This is what allows plants to draw up water and nutrients through their roots and up into the trunk and leaves of the plant.
In wicking beds, water is drawn up into the pore spaces in the soil to a height of about 350mm. Water wicking beds eliminate the problem of deciding when and how much to water. Plants in a wicking bed can last up to 4 weeks without additional watering, in contrast to surface watering, which can require daily watering depending on climatic conditions. Apart from the frequency of watering, there is a substantial saving of water itself in using the wicking method.
