Everyone knows how to plant carrots, but not everyone manages to grow a good and healthy harvest.
However, if you use some simple agricultural techniques from experienced gardeners, you will certainly achieve the desired result.
The first thing I would like to recommend is to take into account the composition and structure of the soil. Carrots do not like acidic and heavy soils, so to get large and even root crops, you need to take care of the soil in advance.
Before planting carrots, the bed can be fertilized with ash, which not only enriches the soil with potassium and phosphorus, but also prevents fungal rot.
The second important point when sowing carrots is soaking the seeds. This procedure helps the seeds to sprout faster and more evenly.
For soaking, use hydrogen peroxide. The seeds are soaked in peroxide for 5 minutes, then washed with water and dried before sowing.
Before sowing carrots, it is necessary to make furrows in the bed, which must be compacted. You can compact the soil with any suitable object, for example, a stick or a block.
Before planting carrot seeds in the soil, you can mix them with sand to make the seedings more sparse and improve the soil structure.
These simple agricultural techniques will help you get a good harvest of large and tasty carrots.
