I bought lots of out of date veg seed tape from B&Q. Radish, beetroot, lettuce & carrot. I need to bang them in when I get back from holiday.

I have no problems growing carrots. I did try the tape years ago without success but that could have also been down to other factors, for sure. But that darn fly!!

Happy Easter! This year I have made my own tape with paper towels for carrot seeds with radish seeds in between. The advantage of making your own (see videos on You Tube) is that you can select which seeds you use abd mix them. Am now waiting for them to come up but with all the showers we have in the NL at the moment, should be OK!

Good video as always mate. Still a bit early for carrots I reckon. I never start mine before May outdoors, but I grow mine in boxes and tubs to avoid the carrot fly. I'll be very interested in how the tapes perform for you. Got back from the weekend at the caravan today and 3 snails in my greenhouse had put paid to my 5 cucumber seedlings! I found them hiding in between the pots and turfed them out. Luckily still time for more.

love your videos, very informative... I'm still getting my garden sorted for growing...I have a polytunnel ready to put up but the land needs clearing first (shed to pull down), then old beds to remove and some levelling to do...I can't do the polytunnel till I'm off work soon, so lots to do...yaaah

I used the lettuce tapes once and nothing came up so will be interested to see what you get with these. I’ve only got a little garden and no greenhouse or poly tunnel so I’ve only just got my broad beans in , hopefully will get some peas planted and sow some carrots and beets in the next few days

Happy Easter Tony, Peace and blessings for you and your family. One question when you covered the carrot seed tape did you sprinkle soil on top and the press in place or drag it over and press in place. I think I will buy one packet of carrot seeds and try this I keep trying with less than zero results. Thanks for the video today!!

Just back from the plot and that's exactly what i sowed in the ground i did cover mine with scaffold netting to deter the foxes from using the bed as a toilet

Quite a nice, simple way to sow seeds. Doesn't quite help if you're planting everything in round pots, so I'm left with thinning by hand 😆
