Hi Shane,
Yes......we've been using Qubelok for years for a variety of food production purposes. To an old micro-farming systems designer like me it's manna from heaven.

Hi
If a wicking bed is well inoculated with worms that are constantly 'churning' the soil is there still the need for crop rotation or do the worms hinder pathogens/viruses etc?
I ask this particularly as I am planning on setting up a worm wicking bed that is only small but too big to constantly empty and replenish. I would also like to maintain continuous plantings as I do in my vermiponics system.
Hi Sue,
You can run continuous plantings in wicking beds. Treat them like any other water-wise growing option......like raised beds or square foot gardens.

Thanks for that.
Another question!!
I've been reading that charcoal in the reservoir can stop the water going 'sour'. As I live in Darwin where we have a huge Wet Season (I'll try to keep the rain off as much as possible) some charcoal might be a good idea. So ... I wonder if the charcoal that is available from hardware stores is fine to use or if it has been treated in some way for BBQs?
