Our Tips:

• Soil Conditions: Carrots require loose, friable soil that is not prone to "capping" (forming a hard surface crust). In heavy soils, it is best to grow them on raised ridges.
• Feeding: Avoid using fresh manure or fertiliser immediately before sowing, as this can cause the roots to fork.
• Crop Rotation: To maintain soil health, only grow carrots in the same spot once every six years.
• Sowing Rates:
  • For bunching: approx. 100 seeds per linear metre.
  • For maincrop: 80–100 seeds per linear metre.
  • For large processing roots: 60–70 seeds per linear metre.
• Smart Sowing: Mix your carrot seeds with a few radish seeds. The radishes emerge quickly to mark the rows, and harvesting them later acts as a natural first "thinning" for the carrots.
• Thinning: If the seedlings are too crowded, thin them out manually to ensure the roots have enough space to grow straight and large.
