4. Adding perlite to the feet of the
WaterUps
®
Adding Perlite to the 'wicks' will improve
airflow through to the soil. Both fine and
medium grain perlite work effectively for
this purpose.
The wicks, which are the 4 feet at the
base of each cell, should all be filled with
perlite.
You will need 20 litres of Perlite for your
Oasis 1680 Wicking Bed.

5. Add potting mix or soil to the
wicking bed.
You will now need 16 x 25 litre bags of
good quality potting mix or potting soil to
fill the Oasis 1680 Wicking Bed.

6. Watering your wicking bed.
To water your bed simply insert a garden
hose into the inlet pipe and fill the water
reservoir until water starts flowing out of
the overflow pipe. Replace the cap when
done.
The water reservoir of your bed will hold
140.8 litres of water. How often you need
to refill the reservoir will depend on what
plants you are growing, the time of year,
and the amount of natural rainfall that
you receive. However, in our experience,
periods of up to four weeks are
achievable before you will need to refill
your wicking bed.
It is recommended that you allow the
water level in the bed to go down to at
least 1/4 full before refilling. This will
assist soil aeration.
To check how much water is in the
reservoir simply use a dipstick or set
up a moisture sensor system.
