Hi ...Yes my tests are for up and then over the side....so going by the test I should be able to get it with the wiper cloth..Here it is...a true test but it was very hot yesterday when I tried it on my tomatoes....I took 2 polypropylene ropes out and put in their place a piece of the wiper cloth that I had cut about 2 1/2 inches wide ...This morning when I checked ...the cloth was dry so the reservoir had either run out or the water was simply evaporating on the cloth ..which must be the problem .I now intend to try a wick about 5 inches wide ..roll it up and use a holesaw to make a bigger hole in the plastic of the drum so the wick will get to the water with no bottle neck...As you can see by my photo the transfer was excellent ..If one waited long enough one could see a small drip from the wick ....I would think that would be excellent for wicking soil at the rate it was transferring....
The Bottle on the left is the one feeding....
Cheers Ron
