How to Grow Sweet Carrots
In order for carrots to grow juicy and sweet, it is important to grow the vegetable in a sunny place in the garden.
Choose loamy and sandy loam soils for growing.
Heavy soils can be corrected by adding humus, peat or river sand for digging.
In addition, in order for carrots to grow large and sweet, it is important to feed the root crop on time and correctly.
To fertilize for the first time, this should be done when the green mass has grown.
This will happen approximately 60 days after sowing the carrot seeds.
It is at this time that the root crop begins to grow sharply, and the vegetable needs such useful microelements as phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen.
Fertilizing with 2 tablespoons of nitroammophoska and 6-7 crystals of potassium permanganate will also help you increase the sweetness of the carrot harvest.
The substances must be dissolved in 10 liters of water.
Then water the crops with a freshly prepared solution once a week for 2-3 weeks from mid-July to mid-August.
When sowing carrots, it is enough to add half a glass of wood ash per 1 linear. M and embed into the soil with a hoe and water.
During the growing season, plants are fed 3 times.
It is useful to know that salt water activates fertilizers that have already been applied to the soil.
Also, table salt effectively repels the carrot fly, increases the amount of carotene in the root vegetable and, most importantly, makes the carrot much sweeter.
