About the project: Bondi Public School installed water saving wicking garden beds for their flourishing kitchen garden. The project saw them replace their old garden beds, which is used to grow vegetables, and replace them with 35 wicking beds. The original beds were watered by an irrigation system four times a week which used an enormous amount of water, roughly 55984 litres every six months. The new beds aim to reduce the amount of water needed and only need to be filled up every few months. Over a six-month period a total of 12128 litres of water has been used which is a 70% reduction in water saving.
