Hi..Thanks for the comments..I have tryed various materials for wicks and have yet to find anything that draws water up....I have yet to try polypro???? braided rope..I wonder if a peat moss would wick up water??If anybody knows of a wicking material I would appreciate knowing...I have to be honest ...I thought I read somewhere that the soil is a good wicking material but I never thought of the roots growing down the tube....My main concern is molds etc...Having used capilary cloth in the past I know what can happen >>>
I have found round shallow trays in the garden dept that my washing machine drums sit perfectly on the top of so have taken some photos ..which I will post later as the wind has died down ...the sun is trying to shine..and I have to fix my Greenhouse Roof ...Back soon.. Cheers Ron
