I think these things are ingenious. I'm envious, because a year ago I was trying to figure out some way to create my own sub-irrigation system for indoor plants, and the wicking idea never crossed my mind.

It's called "sub-irrigation" because you're irrigating the subsoil, not the topsoil. The very thought of not throwing my houseplants into shock every other week when I remember to water them is enough to make me smile. My farmer background is finally revealing itself....apparently I actively dislike the whole notion of damp topsoil. Who knew?
