Re: roots

Hey all
Rule is roots will go as deep as the enviroment can handle. How deep the water can consistantly remain moist without sogging or drying out and the roots will go as deep as there is adiquate oxygen without carbon dioxide pushing up the oxygen. So if you have a deep root oxygenation system well drained humus ritch soil and water deep and throughly with time to drain down deep there is really no limit to how deep they can go. If you achieve a good system your plant will be using and feeding off over 500% more soil mass which could really have the power to push a world record or at least a personal best. Hope this helps.

How deep do the roots grow? Do you focus most of your watering at the stump 
versus the vines and nodes?
