Can anyone point me to a site that lists the rooting depth of common
herbs. I've heard of tables out on the Net, but haven't been able to
find any.

Umbelliferae (dill, parsley, aniseed etc.): _deep_. They all have taproots.
Ground covers: shallow
Lamiaceae (basil, thyme, lavender, hyssop etc.): middling.

Others with taproots:
- mullein
- elecampane
- some of the Echinaceas
