See how I built this Modern self-watering raised garden bed with a built-in sub-irrigation system step-by-step. It is perfect for small backyards and balconies because you don't have to run a drip line through! Or if you just don't want to remember to water every day :)
I am collaborating with my friend Angela ‪@AngelaMarieMade‬ to bring you spring projects.
