here is a look at the roots when i put them in the final container for the season. 50 gallon stainless steel drum with a wood top. To help manage the root mass and support the weight, I have placed a mesh hanging system in the container that has three levels. The roots will grow out horizontally and drop through the mesh. This will keep them from clumping on each other and breeding root rot. Also, the center of the mesh is cutout with a plastic container over it, This has a mister placed in the center to keep the deep center of the root mass open, water, and aerated. All of this is in hopes to create the largest aeroponic root system perfect for growing the pumpkin.
