Help chose my next soil container

[Hash Hound]

Last grow I got to choose and I chose hempy, with good results.
This grow my friends choice and he wants to go soil.
Simplest for us I guess is a container with a run off catching saucer, then a wick, then my modified for soil hempy.
any opinions? pros cons? good bad?

TY Lab,

You can use most anything absorbent. I have used felt before. But you can use braided nylon rope, old t-shirt, oil lamb wicks.
