Many self-watering planters use the soil itself as a wicking material. The soil is contained within a tube in the center of the planter. The tube extends from the bottom of the soil basket in the planter, into the water reservoir. This tube is designed with holes that allow the soil and water in the reservoir to mix. Water is absorbed into the soil through these holes.
