The first wicking bed.

Add growing medium
Add rock
Line with plastic and add hose
Make sure the bed is even.
This bed was created about two years ago.  I have been very happy with it.  It is topped up with compost, shavings from the chook sheds and sheep manure.  I mulch with sugar cane mulch in Summer.  I find it only requires watering once a week.  The mulch prevents evaporation.  This bed has been one of the great successes in  my garden.
