BettyC-5...Thanks for you comments ..the rope I can get in sizes UP to 12mm thick ..the size I used in the photos is 12mm ..now I think you mean to bring the rope up to 3/4 of the soil depth ...I must be able to think of someway to hold the rope lengths in a vertical position unless I have the wicks running verticly up the sides of the drum ..do you see any problem with that?...Do you agree not to have any wicking in the centre hole ?
