Essential Tips and Tricks

  • Before filling the Foodcube with soil, add water to the Foodcube to ensure the outlets are water tight. If water is leaking you have not sealed the Foodcube correctly. Double check your seals and make sure you haven't cross threaded the outlets. If leaking persists contact Biofilta.
  • When filling your Foodcube with soil make sure you fill the wicking cones at the base of the Foodcube first. Then add the rest of the soil to the soil bed.
