Hi again Caca
I pick beetween plants I "like" that suits the climate. (The Microclimate).
Ask localy iff you'r new to gardening/farming, start with the "easyest" of your choise, small crops, extend the season in each end.
That way it not such a struggel, you'll sucseed faster and as you gain the knoledge/experience lift the chalenge.
Straberrys and bluberrys is a easy and sure winner, herbs as well.

cheers

Hi Caca,

What plant are have small roots, medium size roots and large roots?

Root length seems to be influenced by many things.....including nutrient availability, growing system (DWC/NFT/F&D), age of the plant, etc.

If you plant parsley, for example, and harvest it within weeks, you'll have a very modest set of roots. If you pull the plant out after two seasons, its roots will have spread throughout the entire grow bed.

Tomatoes can grow a very large root mass in a grow bed......but will have much smaller roots if grown in NFT.
