<p>Several years ago, I tried carrots and sweet potatoes in my grow-beds. The leaves looked GREAT, but the crop was nonexistent. Root crops need to have the pressure of soil. I noticed Sylvia's people developed a bag for just such a purpose. If you are not happy with the crop, look into the bags.</p>

<p>My best growing food were my papaya trees. I planted 2 in my grow bed, last summer. since eating a papaya and taking the seeds for crop production, I have learned it should not work. Anyway, one of my papaya trees is fruiting. This is less than 6 mos from seed to fruiting. I transplanted both trees into a container with soil. both are at about 6' feet tall. So, this season I have tree papaya in my grow beds. they are tall and do not take-up much of the sun, when the sun is low in the sky.…</p>

<p>Root crops do grow in aquaponics. However many people find it easier to just grow them in a wicking bed situation with light weight compost so they are easier to harvest. Sweet potatoes grow great in aquaponics. The vines do especially well and if the media is light enough I expect the roots would grow even better.</p>

<p>Personally I do not use AP to grow root crops although it is possible. Yes, I believe a longer interval would increase your chances of success. I use perlite in above ground bag culture with catchment/ recycle tray and hand water, fish water as nutrient.</p>
