[@MrMush78]

I find a much easier way to sow my Carrot seeds is to buy pelleted Carrott seeds you can then sow at the correct spacing and no need to thin them out 👍🏻

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Yes it is but pelleted are more expensive Thank you

[@victoriawillis3580]

Great Thank you Glenys

[@dn744]

You could pop dowels into another wood pad like you have to level the soil. Then it would be easier once made. Save the pen 🖊, but I like how tidy that is.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Great idea! Thank you

[@joyscott374]

Great idea Ivan, i'll give thank a go thanks🐞

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thank you

[@sarahpoyntz9215]

Get yourself a stepped drill bit, I find it the easiest way to make holes in pots, means just one drill bit for multiple sized holes

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Great Thank you Sarah

[@madeleineowen8284]

Brilliant idea Ivan. Thanks for your info. Going to try it tomorrow.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Hope you enjoy

[@strifamne1749]

I use the cardboard tubes from toilet/kitchen roll. Cut them into circular strips about 2cm, lay them onto the soil and drop 2/3 seeds into each.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Simple but effective idea. For larger carrots I'm assuming you could use every second cell. Love the way you explain things & your infectious enthusiasm. Motivates me to get out into the garden. Thank you for sharing your love of gardening & passing on your knowledge.

[@Mariastrawbalegardening]

Me agai. I have just pulled up my shallots. I was wondering if i can use these as sets to plant next year. If so how do i store them, will they keep or is it best to buy new ones. These ideas for carrots by the way are fab. I will definitely be stealing this idea for my next sewing. Thank you so much

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

As far as i know yes you can i will look into the process for you Thank you Maria

[@ericpearce7219]

Where do you buy your sprayer for watering?

Hi there Wilko

[@andrewwestern7622]

Ivan how long should I leave the carrot seedlings before thining out also i too would like to donate to you let me know how you would like this PayPal etc. Thank you Pal 😉

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Hello Andrew i wait until they have a few true leaves and around 3 inches tall then i thin them you can do this when they are smaller if you are careful You can donate via the paypal donate button in the description and it would be much appreciated Thank you

[@donnabailey5325]

Oh just thought 🤔 I have some sifted compost with perlite & vermiculite mixed in, if i add some horticultural sand can i use this for my carrots 🥕? Or do i make new and just add the f b b ?
