How to feed carrots when planting

The fertilizer consists of three ingredients: humus, potassium fertilizer and superphosphate.

This type of feeding will provide carrots with the basic necessary elements – nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.

For 4-5 kilograms of humus (about half a bucket) you need 20 grams of potassium fertilizer and superphosphate.

Fertilizer is applied in dry form. Before application, the bed is dug up and leveled with a rake.

Next, we make small furrows at intervals of 20 centimeters, water each one from a watering can, add a little fertilizer, plant the seeds and cover with soil.

This fertilizer will last for the entire season. You shouldn't completely fill the bed with humus, nothing good will come of it.
