The lemons and grapefruit actually fruited this first year of planting them in the containers, so it does work!

Here are my wicking tubs for some of my newest fruit trees. I have black clay soil (gumbo when wet), and when it rains hard or for several days, water just stands and drowns out my trees. So I have added to my fruit trees by using wicking tubs. I got the idea from an older man named Leon in OK on YouTube. He uses squares of cloth but I found they were too bulky so I went to strips. My steps are shown in the pictures. Besides the ones shown here, I’ve planted peaches, figs, blueberries, tomatoes, and mint in these types of tubs. I have all sorts of gardening bed types, but this is my newest one. So I’m also self sustaining for citrus and trees that I can take with me if I move.
