Arranging the Containers

This step is pretty straight forward. All you need to do is set your plant containers on top of some cinder blocks (or anything really) with one end over top of the reservoir.

Picture 2
One end of the plant containers should hang over top of the water reservoir so that the water can drain back into it. The opposite end should be raised slightly so the water will flow downhill towards the small drain hole.

Picture 3
I should mention that the plant containers probably shouldn't be as far above the water reservoir as they are is in the Sketchup model. There is only a small gap between the two in my real life version.

You want to make sure there is enough space between the plant containers and the water reservoir so that you can easily pull it out if need be.
