[@LisaRucker-x8k]

Thank you.i just bought plastic containers and seeds at the dollar store and organic dirt at Walmart to try and grow carrots behind my apt building.

[@Liap]

That sounds amazing! I am sure You will enjoy them, really sweet taste these have 😋 Happy gardening 🍀

[@DB-vt1kk]

I’ve tried to grow carrots with no luck so I will follow your tutorial 😊

[@Liap]

What went wrong?

[@DB-vt1kk]

@@Liapthey did not grow the carrot portion. Just a lot of greens. When I pulled out the carrot it was so tiny 😢

[@Liap]

@@DB-vt1kk Did they have enough space to grow the root?

"Growing carrots seems simple but unexpectedly it is very challenging! 😅 I have tried many ways, but this time following your instructions, the results are surprising. From choosing seeds, preparing the soil to watering , everything must be more gentle. Not to mention the easy to understand, step by step sharing is very detailed and realistic 🌱 Seeing the eggplant sprouts is a great feeling and thank you very much for the great tutorial , I will perform and hope that next season there will be good wind to harvest 🥕❤"

[@patrickhaupt5723]

The nice thing about putting veggies in boxes like this is that when the weather gets bad, you can always give them shelter.

Absolutely! ☺️🍀

Im on day 11 with my carrots in shallow cardboard boxes lined with plastic outdoors. They are beautiful but will quickly need more room. Should i transplant them into grow bags now, or wait? Also, should i add garden vegetable/fruit waste to the soil? I have other vegetables like broccoli, squash, beets, tomatoes, and much more doing the same. They are growing beautifully ❤ but i am unsure when to transplant them to grow bage. For the big vegetables i have 5 lb bags, medium 3 lb, and for herbs 1lb. Love your videos!! New sub!

[@Liap]

Hello. I wouldn't transplant carrots at all. You can damage or lose their taproot therefore they are better sown directly. How shallow are those boxes? And what is the carrot variety? No, don't add any veg/fruit waste to the soil. The best time to transplant is as soon as the weather allows to. For example I have already transplanted broccoli and lettuces, but tomatoes and peppers have to wait until cold nights are gone. Thank You very much, I am happy You like the content! ☺🌱🍀

Did you water them daily?

[@Liap]

Hello. The most frequent watering was last 10-14 days before harvest. Roughly Every to every other day on sunny day.

[@ac9110]

At 1:21 you state a temperature. Is this the temp of the water you are using? If so, has every watering got to be around that temp or are you ok to use unheated water after that? Sorry for the enquiry, my dad passed away and I'm the new understudy!

[@Liap]

Hello. That is the optimal temperature for carrot seeds germiation. You can water it with cold water, as long as the around temperature is as warmer so the soil will heat up. Nothing to apologise for! This is what the comment section is made for 👍 Feel free to ask anything related to the topic and I will do my best to answer 💪

[@ac9110]

@@Liap Ahh, I get you, it's the optimal temp for germination and not the water temp so thanks for that. Another quick Q if that's ok. The wood shavings, are they there to deter any sort of pest?

[@Liap]

@@ac9110the wood shavings serve as mulch. They help keeping the soil moist and maintain stable temperature.

[@929jpotter]

Why newspaper and cardboard box? One or the other?

[@Liap]

So the soil doesn’t fall out. Cardboard, it is stronger 💪🙂

[@MicroUrbanFarms71]

"I planted carrots but I only found a lot of green leaves and the size was too small. I don't know if it's because of how to take care of it or if the soil is not nutritious enough? Does anyone have any experience to help carrots grow better? really want to find the cause and improve!

[@Liap]

Hello. Make sure the space between plants is enough for the root do develop. Also make sure the soil is not too hard and compact, carrots thrive in loose soil. And make sure the soil is always moist, especially once the roots start to develop, at that stage they require more frequent watering. 🥕🍀

[@MicroUrbanFarms71]

@@Liap Okay, thank you.

What is the purpose of the wood shavings please?

How can somebody get the carrots seed?

[@Liap]

Carrots are biennial plants. They store their energy in the root and if left in the ground, they will flower and produce seeds second year.

[@margeojo3153]

Wouldn’t the wood shavings attract termites?😳

[@Liap]

It can if You use too thick layer of it. If the mulch gets dry between watering, You are most likely to avoid this problem. 🙂

[@saulkravitz]

Where do you get sawdust

[@Liap]

I get my wood shavings from local carpenter.

It's not a good idea to use newspaper because it contains ink, and the ink will mix with the soil and end up in the plants.

[@Liap]

The ink is plant-based. Mostly soy nowdays.

[@idlemusic7]

[@Liap]

This variety doesn't grow classic long carrot root :)

[@pesto12601]

That's a lot of soil cost for a few dozen carrots.. even though these are not normal carrots - they only cost $1.25 a lb in the store... I'd say you spent a lot more than that on seeds, water, soil and the containers.

How often water in?

[@Liap]

They don’t need much watering at start, but once the roots start to bulb up their water requirements increase significantly - every other day or even daily during hot summer days.

[@lizzieagho4244]

Thank you so much! Would we be able to reuse the soil?

[@Liap]

Yes, this soil was already used to grow other plants. There are parts of roots visible in it. Just mix in som new compost. You can add some additives if You have them available (coffee grounds, wood ash, etc.) 🌱🍀
