Gardening in the Desert:How we beat water shortages with a wicking bed & DIY steps to build your own

Water shortages are becoming more and more common, especially in hot, dry climates like ours in Phoenix. But we believe that even in times of drought, we can still enjoy the beauty and benefits of gardening. That's why we built a wicking bed using a simple metal tub, and the results have been amazing. Our plants are thriving, and we've been able to conserve an amazing amount of water and reduce the time and effort required for garden maintenance. Instead of watering our plants every day, we only have to water them every three weeks!In this video, we'll take you on a journey through the construction and progress of our wicking bed over the past four months. You'll see how easy it was to build, how easy it is to maintain, and how much water and effort it has saved us. And best of all, you'll see the beauty and abundance of plants that you can enjoy with this self-watering gardening solution.So come along with us and let's make the most of our water resources while still enjoying the beauty of gardening.
