This bed saves water and works very well in dry climates or where it rains a lot!!
This method is called "wicking bed" and was developed by Australian Colin Austin, aiming to guarantee food production even in places where there is very little rain.
The water reservoir and drainage layer allow moisture to gradually rise to the substrate above, watering in the right amount and thus saving a lot of water that in traditional irrigation methods would be lost through evaporation.
As it has a mechanism for draining excess water, it is also a great alternative for places where it rains a lot, as it allows the upper part of the bed not to remain permanently soaked.
Given the amount of water contained in the reservoir, this bed can be considered SELF-IRRIGATED, being a valuable resource for those who have little time to take care of their plants, or are traveling and want to keep them well watered while they are away.
