Carrots are used by housewives almost every day in most cases, as the vegetable improves the taste of main dishes and makes them more healthy.

Therefore, fairly large beds are allocated for vegetables.

It is extremely important not only to grow sweet and large carrots, but also to keep them in good condition until the next harvest.

There is a simple way that will help you achieve what you want, notes landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.

What method do you need to know about?

First of all, carrots should dry well in the fresh air. After that, it is worth choosing special storage boxes that will allow for compact placement of a fairly large amount of vegetables.

Next, you need to combine the sand with water: this is where the main trick lies.

You will need to take ten liters of sand and mix it with one liter of liquid. Put a layer of sand on the bottom of the box, then form a layer of carrots. Cover it with a layer of wet sand.

In this way we alternate them until the box is full.

If you do not have the opportunity to use sand, then pay attention to sawdust of coniferous trees. They can also provide high-quality storage.
