This is what happens when you grow #mint ina hydroponic system.
Just like in soil, mint have a strong way of spreading and taking over what ever place is available.
This used to hold a #parsley seedling, next to the mint unit on the 3x5 hole #IKEA#Växer unit.
The parsley was killed long time ago and it's roots were chocked and taken over by the neighboring mint.
I'm cleaning up the unit indoor and getting rid of all the unhealthy units. This , I pulled to find over 40cm of roots growing towards the rest of the system.
I removed this unit and trimmed all the unnecessary roots. And I probably have to do major cleanup of the reservoir.
This time is about 700g and going to freeze them while waiting for the next batch to grow (I have one more with parsley, one with #leek, #coriander, #mint, and #dill that are not producing as much. Each unit has 15 grow holes. One is almost empty. I am missing #taragon and I'm missing Iranian Shanbalileh (شَنبَلیله یا به فارسی دری شینبل (نام علمی: Trigonella foenum-graecum) ) to have all vegetables I need except to spinach that is not worth growing in small space that I have to be self sufficient in having all necessary vegetables for cooking different Iranian dishes.
This single Ikea unit has givene 5 batch of parsley since I started it and ther are no sign of decline as ww are getting closer to summer.
It has already paid off the initial cost I paid for it and from now on, it's all profit. Next it trying to setup the Mimi tower unit to grow them with solar powered water pumps and sunshine (no artificial LEDs for this trial.
Just need to buy some fertilizer because running low.
