5 gallon wick systems comparison

[Peter S]

Thanks for the update.  Despite the somewhat lessor pod size and the likelihood that the traditional self-watering system will ultimately be the winner, I have to say I am liking the wick system.  My own self-watering systems seem to be taking their sweet time to bear ripe fruit and I am running out of summer.  I am sure other factors are in the mix, but I may try some wicking/coco coir next year to get a jump on the harvest.
 
Looking forward to the next update.

Thanks. A couple other advantages to the wick system are less time to construct and only needing one bucket.
