For years I struggled with growing carrots. I had read all the articles but nothing seemed to help. I had not heard of covering the seed with potting soil. It made all the difference. Thanks for the video.

[@BonJournal]

Thanks! I'm new at all of this, and that was helpful. : ) I appreciate you demonstrating everything.

Thank you, one of the best video's i have seen on planting carrots, from rick in Washington state.

[@btyex]

Very good idea, never thought of this. Thnx!

[@AnotherAmateur]

Very nice. I'll try the salt shaker idea. Very clever!

I started out planting in trenches and now sow the whole bed by sprinkling the seeds. Much less thinning required and if I do thin, they are replanted in sparsely seeded areas. Applying a thin layer of soil overtop and pressing lightly,, the bed is done. That's the way I prefer planting carrots after experimenting with both methods.

I bought a seed sower from Wilkinson`s only cost £1.50 I find I can sow about 3-4 seed per 3 inches easy and when the seed is sown in the shallow drill I cover the seeds with a small dressing of coir.

[@ladybearbaiter]

an empty salad dressing bottle with the hole in the top works well too with small seed

thanks you for well needed info, how long carrots grow b4 mature for harvest ?

[@charlesjohnson4]

thanks. would have been more helpful if we saw the fertilizer application to know the quantity and rate. i use NPK151515....

Make your own seed tape with toilet paper, flour, and water works way better 1 pack of seeds did over 300 feet of carrots with 3 seeds spaced 2 inches. Takes some time but its well worth it in the end.

+Wags1985 David Will there be any need of thinning by using your method?

[@sdwags8536]

+Cama Dax Yes you will still have to thin the carrots out but they will be in nice straight lines and you will end up growing allot more carrots in the same amount of space!

[@camadax9705]

Thnx mate

[@sdwags8536]
