This looks like a terrific program. I hope we can do something like this in Guatemala. How wonderful for urban dwellers anywhere in the world! And to find out that it brings students into school... they can grow their food and learn at the same time. This is how it should be!
In fact its just the opposite. The tendency is to over water and eventually the plants at the bottom will have more water than the top. The ability to control the water is a key feature. The system allows for free drainage preventing root rot, if the top is dry simply add enough water to accommodate the top of the wall only. Monitoring the water use is a great exercise for students.

How do you prevent the plants at the top from being over watered, while trying to get the plants at the bottom satisfied?
