Never fails to amaze me - I have to fill those reservoirs twice a day! That's on a 6'x3' bench.
I am an iggit. I have used capillary matting for many years and never, never thought to put troughs at the ends to make use of their CAPILLARY nature... duh! Must have a go at that.

Hey I'm an eejit and even I thought of it ;D ;D
It'll lift water 4".
Hi Tim. Do you leave the matting hanging in the container all the time? I use capillary matting I have just cut lengths of the matting to hang over the side of the containers to let the water rise. I sometimes feel the matting is getting TOO WET, but hey!! you know what a novice I am. I think I will try leaving the lengths in the container all the time. Lorna
How wet is wet??
It can only replace water that is absorbed or transpired - I think!!
Tim your answer makes sense. My shelf on one side is board which I cover with plastic sheet to stop the wood rotting. I have found the water dripping off the front maybe I should get a spirit level on the board. Being a mere woman I have to try and work these things out. I am definately going to try leaving the lengths in.. Thanks. Lorna
Slight correction to my last -
- if there is no 'turn-up' around the bench, it will, of course, lose water that way.
