Default Vegetable root depth
(Scott) wrote in message . com...
Can anyone recommend a source where I could find out how deep various
plant roots need to be to survive? This would be nice to know when
preparing a new garden bed - obviously a carrot needs a deeper bed
than a radish or lettuce, for example.

Thanks!
Scott

It depends. Do you want them to survive or to thrive? Tomatoes go down
four feet. Chicory or beet go down six feet.
