That's a great way of doing it. Thank you for showing this method. Perhaps you want to use one that I am currently experimenting with: I place an empty pot of the size and height to which I want the water level into the bigger 'outside' planting pot ( I use 'pretty' planters that speak to my eye) upside down, so the opening is at the bottom and the drainage holes are up. I fill the bottom layer with wicking materials, mostly half rotted wood that holds the water endlessly and soaks up the nutrients. I will begin to add charcoal as well to keep the weight light in these pots. Mine are quite large so I like to keep it light. I then add deeper forest soil as a layer, mid-deep soil as a layer, then top it with forest top-mulch and horse manure and/or stinging nettle dried green fertiliser after I have planted the plants. Again, thank you for showing this method.

Would be nice to see the set up from the very beginning. And I got "car sick" watching the video, but I got the gist of most of it. Neat idea.
Yes sorry about that. Lame camera work.
