Water the Way Nature Intended
Self-Watering is an incredible benefit for those who have busy lifestyles, like to go away for weekends or vacations, live off grid, or simply want to reduce their watering maintenance, live more sustainably, and free up their time for more enjoyable garden activities.
How it works
In nature, the greenest most bountiful areas have one thing in common - a continuous source of groundwater. Instead of relying on the irregularity of rain, moisture is wicked up from water tables below the ground, which consistently provides plants with the optimal hydration level that allows them to thrive.
The GardenWells System allows you to create this same water-wicking environment in almost any raised bed or container garden.
Why gardenwells?
You’ll get bigger yields, healthier plants, and a much more efficient use of water. You also won’t have to water nearly as much - with a reservoir size of 7 liters per sqf of garden space, it’s like having a rain barrel and garden in one. So instead of watering your garden everyday, even in the middle of Summer, the most you’ll be filling up the reservoir is about once a week.
- Less Water. Compared to traditional watering techniques, up to 80% less water is required.
- Less Soil. Because water is always available, root systems are smaller so less soil depth is required than traditional raised beds: 8-12" of growing medium depth is suggested for veggies and most annuals.
- Ideal Growing Conditions. Soil self-regulates moisture levels through capillary action so conditions are always optimal.
- Easy to Monitor. The simple yet attractive float gauge makes monitoring your easy and strait forward.
- Longer Life. Wood/Cedar is fully protected from soil/water by the waterproof liner, this eliminates chances of rot and greatly improves longevity and aesthetics of your planter.
