A simple way to plant carrots: painstaking work and thinning are a thing of the past

One of the features of growing root crops is thinning. Dense planting deprives the chances of a normal harvest.

If we talk about carrots, they will grow crooked, humped, or anything but straight and slender. You can get rid of routine work in one fell swoop.

Forget about the tedious, painstaking work of distributing seeds into each cell. And at the same time, save time on thinning seedlings in the future.

By the way, thinning itself is nothing more than a voluntary reduction in crop volumes.

After all, those shoots that interfered and were pulled out, under normal circumstances, could have grown and produced normal fruits.

How to proceed

Incredibly simple. You will need toilet paper, starch and carrot seeds.

Cook a paste from starch, unroll a piece of toilet paper of the required length, mark the interval at which the seeds will be located - they are the future shoots.

Then apply starch paste to the marks left and place the seed.

Wait until the preparation dries out, and go to the garden to plant carrots in the beds prepared in advance.

Thanks to this trick, the rows will be even and you won’t have to pull out extra carrots.
