Patti...This is what I have done....I have tied 4 lengths of twine to the top of the WM Drum secured by screws.... then tied the twine to my wick material which is fed through to below the drum ......this is to help keep the wick in place when soil is put in the drum.....The drum itself will sit in a steel warming tray from an electric range which is about the perfect size...and that is my reservoir...It will have a hole in it to prevent any overfilling..so it can easily be fed by a hose or bucket...
The wicking rope will certainly draw water....I will ensure the gaps will be covered to stop any soil getting through to the reservoir ...I want it clean down there...so the only question mark is will a plant get the sustainance via the 4 x wicking ropes....I presume I give it a try and see what happens...
The Myco company has some more tomato products coming online later for the next season??
