I came across this while poking around in Pinterest this evening. The made a sub-irrigating planter out of a 2-liter bottle. I'll be doing this with my kids once their seeds sprout and get stronger.

2-liter SIP

Looks cute. I have done something similar. I wish I could enlarge the instruction pictures to read them.

I've used string to wick water from one container to a plant...the kids thought that was interesting, but this is more practical.
