Grow smarter in any outdoor space. The Foodcube Foodcube Wicking Bed Planter is the flagship wicking bed solution — engineered for high performance in urban gardens, schools, rooftop farms, and community growing projects.
 
🌿 Key Features & Benefits
Efficient water use & “set‑and‑forget” design
The Foodcube features an 110 L built‑in reservoir and 16 wicking cones to draw moisture into the soil, using up to 50% less water than conventional irrigation systems.
This means fewer watering sessions and better drought resilience.
Generous growing capacity
With external dimensions of 1150 mm × 1150 mm × 500 mm, the unit delivers ~1 m² grow area. It holds 330 L of soil and supports up to ~400 kg (soil + water + plants) fully loaded. 
Australian-made, durable & sustainable
Fabricated from ~80% recycled, food-grade polypropylene, UV‑stabilised for long outdoor life, and engineered for Australian climatic extremes. 
Modularity & connectivity
Easily link multiple Foodcubes with couplings or attach to a 90 mm downpipe or tank — share a watering point across multiple beds. 
Smart aeration & root health
The design includes a passive aeration system (air posts) to reduce root rot and improve oxygen exchange. 
Rich accessory ecosystem
Expand with trellises, cladding, platforms, netting, auto-watering systems, rodent blanking plates, adjustable legs, and more.

Less time watering, fewer failures due to inconsistent moisture — ideal for busy households and school programs.

UV‑stabilised, recycled materials, and robust enough to handle heat, storms, wind, and sun.
Scalable & customizable
Whether you want a single bed or a whole network of connected beds, the Foodcube supports your expansion.
Safe & user‑friendly
Fork tyne holes, clip connectors, and modular parts make assembly, moving, and maintenance easier.
