Synthetic Wick (3' x 5)

This is the optimal wicking material we've found thuss far.  Simply set one end into your self watering pot, then bury most the wick up into you "said" media (super chunky medias won't work, need more of a coir / peat based or DIY pon sort of thing)
you can also use it if youre going away for a few weeks, and want to wick water from a bucket to your plants, this takes a bit of trail and error.  We suggest a few trial rounds before you leave your house with a bucket of water out and a few wicks into it.
