The most suitable time for applying fertilizer to carrot beds is after thinning.

At this time, it is worth resorting to the help of liquid vermicompost.

You can also fertilize carrots after the “extra” root vegetables have been removed from the garden bed using ammonia, of which you need 1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water.

However, spraying with a solution of such concentration should not be considered as a fertilizer, but rather as a repellant for pests, in particular, the carrot flea beetle.

After the second thinning, add ash to the beds - wood ash or ash left over from burning grass.

1 glass should be stirred in 10 liters of water and poured over the vegetables after an hour.

Alternatively, prepare an extract by pouring a glass of ash with a liter of boiling water and filtering it after 24 hours.

Before use, the concentrate should be brought to a volume of 10 liters with water.
