40’F is pretty good at hindering mold & bacteria normal growth rates. Water change 1-3 days. Optional concentrate lemon juice to acidulate the water is a wonderful preservative. I do a similar thing for celery stalks, bok choy, lettuce heads, baby carrots, etc – but not asparagus.
Areas of ambient high humidity would be factor for increased bacteria rates also. A water tray may not even be necessary. Dry climates will benefit more.
That dad has it right. Tin foil or put it upside down on a plate. Fuck using plastic on foods.
Upside down on a plate is my move but you must achieve a nice straight cut.
Big plate with some water on it, maybe?
You want to grow a new one in the fridge?
I’d be worried about it becoming a little bacteria lake.
“mmmmm…”

I was going to razz you for making up ‘acidulate’, but I looked it up and it’s a real word. You win this round, Vick.
Yes, except tinfoil is also bad for the environment, it’s just that plastic is what’s getting attention these days.
Not aluminum foil. It’s the most recyclable material out there.
If recycled. Many throw it away, as in order to recycle some pickups say they need to be relatively clean.
