You're going to get zero reponses on this. Trlrman and myself are probably the only two on the TFF that have heard/know what it is. I'm not against it. Just haven't tried it yet. Interested on your results and thoughts at years end.

Are we discussing the use of fabric to "wick" the water up to the plants ? I've used it for seed germination . .

I tried several variations of wicking containers but only got it right using rubbermaid totes. Most of my attempts ended with the soil going rotten from being too wet with no air circulation. I will probably try it again some day as it is really cool. I've had the best success with just traditional gardening using raised beds. I even tried aquaponics for a couple years but ended up dismantling it and going back to the dirt.

Luke 6:22-23
22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you, insult you,
and slander your name as evil
because of the Son of Man.
23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy. Take noteโyour reward is great in heaven, for this is the way their ancestors used to treat the prophets.
