Everything is spoiled by a few mistakes that prevent you from growing sweet and juicy root vegetables.
To avoid this problem again, it is worth considering a number of nuances. Experienced summer residents listed the points that should be paid attention to.

Pests and Stress
Vegetable damage and general stress can also affect the taste of carrots. To ensure that the quality of the harvest does not disappoint, it is necessary to regularly remove weeds and not leave the carrot fly the slightest chance.
Storage
If the cultivation technology is not violated, the problem should be looked for in the storage conditions of the root crop. Thus, the vegetable should be kept away from pears and apples. Fruits emit ethylene, which affects the taste of carrots.
