Useful Tips for Gardeners: How to Grow Carrots
Carrot care is not as simple as it might seem and has some nuances. In the article, you will learn about the basic subtleties and secrets of growing carrots in your garden.
How to grow carrots
Choose loose, moist, well-drained soil for planting carrot seeds.
Before planting, prepare the ground: remove debris, stones, and weeds.
A place with a lot of sun is well suited for planting seeds. Carrots need at least 6 hours of sun per day to grow.
Carrot seeds are small, so it is important to remove any obstacles from the soil to their growth. Remove even small clods of soil.
In order for the seeds to germinate, it is important to water the soil evenly.
If there is not enough moisture, the taste of the vegetable will be bitter in the future, and the carrot itself will be tough.
Therefore, try to water the carrots often, but in small portions, maintaining a slight soil moisture.
In addition, soil temperature is important for seed germination - 50-85 degrees. You can plant carrots in spring or autumn.
Carrots do not need fertilizer. However, you can feed the vegetable with compost or nitrogen fertilizer early in the season.
However, too much nitrogen will slow the growth of the plant.
By following these guidelines, you will be able to grow juicy, sweet and crunchy carrots right in your garden.
