Self-watering Raised Bed
A Raised bed with reservoir to maintain & conserve water during drought.
The design also includes an overflow in case of long periods of rain.
What I'm wondering is what changes would have to be made to adapt this to bonsai use.
Assuming I maintain appropriate wicking, would all I need is a more aerated Potting Mix?
I've been planning to use decomposed granite for the small particle size to aid in aeration. Typically unattractive for its weight, it won't be move as a pot would.
Thoughts, Opinions, & expertise would be well appreciated.
