How to grow carrots


Carrots grow well in 65-degree soil

A ph of 6.5 is the best soil, and the carrots cannot have too much nitrogen or they will grow multiple roots.

The soil has to be very loose or it would interfere with the roots.

They are a cool climate plant and should be planted in the winter time.

Dig out about a foot by a foot of soil and add compost for seeds

speed germination, which can take 10 days or more, by soaking seeds in water for 6 hours before you plant them. “ I don’t really understand what they mean by this”

If the soil is cold, lightly dust the seed with soil.

If the soil is warm burry down ¼-1/2 inch.

Trim seedling leafs they don’t get tangled.

They need a lot of space to grow
