Carrots prefer an open sight with light, stone-free soil and are ideally suited to growing in raised beds. We recommend you grow carrots in soil that has not been manured in the last 12 months.
Sow indoors: - September-October thinly ½in (1cm) deep in shallow pre-watered drills. Keep soil moist at all times.
Sow outdoors - February-August thinly ½in (1cm) deep in shallow pre-watered drills, in soil that hasn''t been manured in the last 12 months. Keep soil moist at all times. (Protect early sowings with cloche or fleece).
Thin out- 2-3in (5-8cm) apart. Avoid crushing the leaves as the scent attracts carrot root fly.
Tip - Suitable for all year growing. Surround the carrot bed with a barrier of polythene or fleece at least 60cm high to keep low flying carrot root fly from your crop.
