Parsley and the Auto pot System

To met a couple of commercial requests for quality flat leaf parsley I have set about testing different planting density's as well as different container sizes from the 10" double Hydrotray to the Smart-Pot and the Window box and all are doing great so far, but what I want to see is the recovery rate when I start harvesting.
This is 21 day from planting in a Smart-Pot



What you see here is plantings in both window boxes and 10 'Hydrotray
the Hydrotray is planted at 4 per pot and some of the window boxes are at 3 per pot and some at 2 per pot so it will be interesting to see which recovers best. All are planted in Osmacote Organic soil.

Here we have a few 6' pots on the capillary table planted at 3 per pot.

A quick view of one side of my grow house those are Cauliflowers in the foreground with Tomatoes hanging from the roof at the far end.
