I've never tried that, but he may have put the wicks into the pots before the plants. You could potentially harm them trying to shove a wick deep down into a root ball, but it should be ok if you're nice about it.
Another option is a big water jug with a dripper head on it like this:

Just put the bottle upside down into the soil with this on the end and fill it up. I can't speak for how long these will drip for, but i know you can get a slow drip for days with the right set up.
Edit: the first reviewer claims that using this with 2L bottle filled with water absorbing crystals should last a week. YMMV
Pump/arduino systems are cool and all, but sometimes it's best to stick to basics.
Can testify these things work great. Most people install them wrong: you must water the plant conventionally til the water is saturated, THEN install these things.
