Ignore Plant Spacing Guidlines
When planting in our high yield wicking beds, we often ignore the spacing they tell you on seed packets and experiment. The trick to a glut: high-density planting. In ordinary soil, packing plants close means they compete for water and nutrients and all suffer. In a wicking bed there’s a constant supply of both, so you can plant far tighter than the seed packet suggests. Plants simply reach for the light and fill the space, shading out weeds and shading the soil to keep moisture in — more crop, less maintenance, from the same footprint.
Managing Surplus
Succession-sow little and often so you’re not flooded with everything at once, share the overflow with neighbours (our tagline is “Plant, Pick, Share” for a reason), and preserve the rest — beans and tomatoes freeze well, and a glut of chillies or herbs dries or freezes for the year ahead.
Veggies with the nutrients and water they need will reach to get the right amount of light.
Watering from beneath, our wicking beds are low maintenance but produce abundant crops with very little effort - and all the nutrients stay in the bed, feeding your crops 24/7 while you are out at work.
