Supposing that you are using soil and conventional gardening/agriculture, then
I would simply let the water form a "water sheet" between the soil and the
hull and pump it back to reservoir.

However, I think that hydroponics is more likely to be used, and in this case
water circulation is all controlled, anyway. Hydroponics is already
commercially used even on Earth, though in a very limited way. (And again I'm
considering my idea of hive-like habitats. :-)
