The SIP.tech Sub-Irrigation System
"We realized that the biggest challenge standing between people and growing their own food is water. How much? How often? And simply remembering to do it. We felt that if we could create a solution that removes the guess work and makes watering easy and attractive - it would make growing food a lot more fun and a lot easier to fit into your lifestyle."
- Wes Hooper Co-Founder
How it Works
In nature, the greenest most bountiful areas have one thing in common - a continuous source of groundwater. Instead of relying on the irregularity of rain, moisture is wicked up from water tables below the ground, which consistently provides plants with the optimal hydration level that allows them to thrive.
The SIP.tech Sub-Irrigation System allows you to create this same water-wicking environment in almost any raised bed or container garden.
Why?
You’ll get bigger yields, healthier plants, and a much more efficient use of water. You also won’t have to water nearly as much - with a reservoir size of 7 liters per sqf of garden space, it’s like having a rain barrel and garden in one. So instead of watering your garden everyday, even in the middle of Summer, the most you’ll be filling up the reservoir is about once a week.

Hidden Benefits
- Your SIP.tech system can be hooked up to the downspout of your house to collect rain water.
- The Foodsafe Liner also doubles as a protective membrane that eliminates the chance of rot, and ensures that nothing leeches into the soil. This combination will more than double the expectant lifespan of your cedar or wood garden.
- The system is essentially mess free. Instead of making a mess every time you water, simply fill your garden through the WaterStem, knowing that the only place water will come from is the OverFlow once the reservoir is full. The balconies below you will thank you!
