Given that I’d like to have some healthy plants for a change, I put an end to my last A13’s sad existence.
Time for the autopsy!
Seven weeks to achieve this amazing root structure. No, I did not keep it that soaked the whole time – that was just to remove it from the pot to see the root/soil structure. That said…
There were actually a lot of side roots that never found their way out of the Rapid Rooter – really only the tap root made it out. So for those of you who suggested that the Rapid Rooters might be the problem (Tinytuttle, GGW, and Muleskinner), you are probably the winners. No more Rapid Rooters for me. Will give these beans a try again in a few months and see if things go better
