Experienced gardeners know that spring planting of carrots is a key moment in the process of growing this vegetable.
Below are the basic steps and recommendations that will help you get a bountiful harvest of tasty and juicy carrot roots.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told what to do in such a case.
Before planting, it is necessary to properly prepare the bed. The first step is to create a furrow about 2 cm deep and 10 cm wide.
It is important to compact the soil in the furrow and provide it with good watering.
Next, you should treat the soil with tabazole to protect against pests and add dolomite flour to maintain an optimal acidity level.
The choice of carrot varieties also plays an important role. The seeds of the varieties and hybrids "Presto", "Bolero", "Red Core", "Canada", "Kuroda" are pre-treated and ready for planting.
Distribute the seeds evenly across the entire width of the furrow, covering them with sand to ensure optimal conditions for germination.
Remember that carrots prefer loose soil and do not tolerate clay soils.
Using sand when planting will help retain moisture, ensure good water penetration and prevent weed growth.
It is also worth considering the proximity of carrots to other crops, such as onions or garlic, which helps protect them from pests.
By using our recommendations, you will easily be able to grow beautiful and tasty carrot roots that will delight you with their harvest and excellent taste.
