FAQs
Sub-irrigation, also known as self-watering, is an irrigation technique that mimics the natural water tables found in all of nature's most bountiful growing environments. The basic concept behind sub-irrigation involves utilizing capillary action to allow the plants to draw water as needed from a hidden reservoir below the soil - providing a consistent and efficient water supply.
LifeSpace Gardens are excellent for growing almost all types of plants wherever maintenance and water sustainability is a concern.Originally designed to optimize the growing environment for vegetables and herbs - LifeSpace Gardens have since been used successfully to grow everything from cedar hedge privacy screens, rose and flower gardens, Japanese maples, fruit trees, and even grass patches on Condo rooftops.
If you're growing veggies, we suggest a weekly maintenance routine during the growing season. The reservoir on your garden can often last for longer (over a month in some instances) but a weekly schedule establishes a routine that will help you maximize your harvests, and stay on top of general garden health and productivity.
Quality is at the heart of sustainability. LifeSpace Gardens are built to last 2-3 times longer than standard planters and raised beds, greatly reducing the resources required to keep you growing.The GardenWells sub-irrigation system can help conserve up to 80% of the water normally used, helping you navigate droughts and environmental impact.

LifeSpace Gardens are crafted from locally harvested cedar and hemlock. These beautiful wood species add a natural aesthetic that is more appealing to the human senses than any other building material. Rot proof construction ensures that all woodwork is completely protected from the inside out. The food-safe waterproof liner ensures soil and water never come in contact with the wood. This can double or triple the lifespan of your garden, making your cedar or hemlock planter longer lasting and more resilient than most metal or synthetic options.
