WaterUps^® Central West NSW

Save Water… Save Time… Grow Healthier Plants

If you’re not familiar with wicking, the concept is similar to placing a plant pot in a saucer of water to allow the soil to “soak” up the water to keep it alive. This action, called capillary action, is the basis of water wicking. Watch this short video for more information. 

Water stored in the reservoir underneath the WaterUps^® cells allows the wicking beds to be left for extended periods without the need to be watered – sometimes for as long as 4 – 5 weeks! For this reason they are proving increasingly popular particularly where regular daily watering is not always possible.

Water savings of up to 80% when using WaterUps^®
