4 Main No-Nos for Carrots: You Will Never Have Sweet and Smooth Root Vegetables
There are four main prohibitions for carrots - if you do not violate them, the carrots will be smooth, sweet and large.
Let's figure out what you shouldn't do when growing this garden crop.
The first prohibition is that compost and manure cannot be added in the spring in any form. It is better to use this fertilizer under the predecessors, a year before growing.
The second prohibition is adding ash at the start. Some gardeners even hang ash with seeds. High ash content will lead to a change in the shape of the fruit.
The third prohibition is potassium at the wrong time. This component should be added only according to the application time, and not before sowing.
You can also water carrot crops with a solution of potassium monophosphate - dilute 9 g per 10 liters of water.
The fourth prohibition is not to deoxidize the soil in the year of sowing carrot seeds. We apply deoxidizers only in the year of sowing carrot seeds.
Some gardeners also refuse to grow carrots in large quantities. In this case, the fruits become smoother and lose their long tails.
