This plant must be surviving solely on the fortnightly addition of seaweed fertiliser! It's just a mass of roots and I can't see any visible soil from the outside. Still it's able to survive and quickly come back from brutal harvests when it's pesto time etc.

Because my other plant has been doing so well I've neglected this one a bit as can clearly be seen....
