Surely you have at least once encountered not the most attractive carrot: such a vegetable is extremely difficult to prepare due to specific "bifurcations" and branches.
Ideally, the carrots should turn out smooth and beautiful.
As a rule, a crooked vegetable grows due to two main factors, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
What do they consist of?
Poor soil
You shouldn't think that carrots can be classified as crops that don't require a high-quality nutrient medium: this is a misconception.
In order for carrots to grow beautiful, tasty and of high quality, you should choose a very nutritious environment that has been prepared in advance.
Proper watering
It is important to remember that the vegetable crop needs watering only at the time of formation of the carrot fruit itself. Moisture must be applied in sufficient quantities.
But when the fruit has already formed, it is recommended to stop watering: in this case, the fruit will begin to stretch downwards in search of moisture. As a result, it will grow large and beautiful.
