What is a Wicking Bed?

Invented by Australian Colin Austin, wicking beds offer a clever self-watering solution for your garden. A built-in water reservoir sits beneath the soil, topped by a waterproof barrier. This reservoir acts like an underground oasis, supplying water to the plants through natural capillary action. Unlike traditional methods that can lead to over or under watering, wicking beds provide consistent moisture directly to plant roots, reducing water usage by up to 50% while keeping your plants happy and thriving.

Food Grade Certification

The Bartlett wicking bed liners are tested and certified independently in Australia to AS/NZS 4020:2018 for use in contact with drinking water, in particular to ensure that the liner does not release cytotoxic or mutagenic compounds or metals when immersed in water. The liner fabric is typically used as a liner for drinking water tanks, and drinking water reservoirs across Australia. A copy of the certificate is included with every wicking bed liner sold.
