I was growing strawberry, chili, and tomato (one of each), and in all cases the roothairs grew down the wick and out into the water exactly like @hazelyeo photographed.
Now I want to grow the mix-set of herbs, but will they work? I cut off the roothairs of the previous occupants and pulled out what I could, but will any water come up the wicks now?
Or do I need new wicks?
