Tips & Advice:
Sowing Outdoors
Sow thinly 1cm deep in shallow pre-watered drills, in soil that hasn’t been manured in the last 12 months. Keep soil moist at all times. Protect early sowings with cloche or fleece.
Thinning
Thin to 5-8cm apart. Avoid crushing the leaves as the scent attracts carrot root fly.
Advice
Carrots do best on light, stone-free, fertile soils. Use fleece to keep low flying carrot root fly from your crop. Roots store well if cleaned and packed in boxes of dry sand or compost.
