John,

I will update the instructions in Rev 1.6 to emphasize over-filling the wicking basket with potting mix BEFORE laying the landscape fabric down. Kind of make a cupcake dome on the wicking basket first.

This will assure good capillary action over several seasons to transfer moisture from the water reservoir up into the potting mix chamber.
