DIY Self-Watering Raised Planter Bed (Sub-irrigation system)

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 :) Get the plans - https://shop.anikasdiylife.com/product/self-watering-planter/ I am collaborating with my friend Angela @AngelaMarieMade to bring you spring projects.
