I've taken a deep breath, gathered containers, and am ready to 'dig in' so to speak! I have a couple questions that I haven't been able to find on links or threads, though they are most likely there~
I would like to WS some radishes and carrots in deep windowboxes. My friend will make a 'frame' of 6mm poly, which will be able to withstand the snowfall, ice, etc., with vent holes, and of course, drainage holes in the bottom. So that when I have seedlings I can remove and reattach as needed. I would leave these crops in the wb to maturity. Do you think this would work?
Question 2: Would coir be a good medium for the containers, or would potting soil be preferred?
Any feedback much appreciated.
