Years ago I tried growing flowers in a big strawberry pot and was disappointed in the results, because as you said, the bottom plants just dried up. So I took a piece of pipe, and did exactly what you did, and it worked great. The wicking idea is a good one too. I have some hanging plastic tube like planters that have the same problem, and this would work well for them, too. Thanks for sharing.
