Hello Reddace,
Since Cilantro tends to bolt and go to seed quick, especially when it gets warm, I would grow it as a rotating crop rather than a long term plant. Probably Flood and drain, NFT, water culture. or low pressure aeroponic vertical tube. In any case the key part of the design being easily removable baskets so you can rotate (take out) older plants and replace them with newer seedlings. That way you can continually replace the bolting plants with new seedlings withough't having to pull all the plants and start over.


It's funny you mention Cilantro because I just checked today to see if Dr. Lynette Morgan had any new articles out, and this is her latest article.
