This video re-plants two existing wine barrels with wasabi plant starts (seedlings). We use the recommended media which is standard potting soil and whatever nutrient amendment you have available. In our experiment, one barrel is amended with 1/2-inch pumice for added drainage. We will have photo updates of the plants in months to come. Thank you for watching! ~Markus Mead, Co-Founder and Farmer, Oregon Coast Wasabi.
