Your LifeSpace Garden or GardenWell garden will function out of level, but you want to ensure the OverFlow of your garden is always positioned at the low point. This way the reservoir will never encroach about the GardenWells into the soil zone - which is key! - however, if your garden is significantly out of level, you will lose reservoir capacity making reservoir fills more frequent.

The right soil blend is very important for optimal self-watering functionality of your LifeSpace or GardenWells garden. If shopping at your nursery or garden center, look for a "container blend." The key here is looking for either coconut coir or peat moss and a significant ingredient which helps with water retention and soil friability. Perlite or vermiculite will also be present.

The beautiful thing about GardenWells is the built in OverFlow valve. This ensures that the reservoir never floods the soil. If it rains a lot, or you accidentally over fill your reservoir, any excess water will simply drain away out the OverFlow.
