Cauliflowers and trays
« on: May 17, 2008, 19:08 »
How deep do cauliflowers send their roots?  I'm using 5" deep wooden trays for salads etc but don't know if my caulis need something deeper ...

And what other crops can people suggest that I can grow in my trays?
Nobody said this was going to be easy ... but some days are better than others!

All brassicas need a lot more depth and also they need to be trodden in quite firmly, so I would'nt recommend you grow them in trays. How about herbs? Coriander, parsley, thyme and basil (once it has hardened off)....any herbs really, apart from rosemary....'cos it gets too big. :)

Aah ... thanks for that Agapanthus.  I've not grown brassicas before so had forgotten about the treading in ... though it could make a good piccy  :D

Am certainly going to grow some herbs in the smaller trays, along the front of my patch (don't have an allotment  :cry: just a patch that I'm creating on my patio)  but I've also got some slightly larger boxes - fancy trying something a bit unusual but not sure what else I could get away with ...  what about swiss chard??
