    I want to share an economical way of growing carrots: planting a little space takes, forces and time are saved, and a good return is obtained.
    I prepare the garden bed for carrots 70 × 300 cm as follows: in the spring I pour three buckets of rotten chicken manure and a bucket of ash there, then I dig it all up. Before planting, I do not soak the seeds and do not warm them up (I have no time to do this, I am a working pensioner), I just mix them well, adding moist soil to them, and distribute them evenly over the garden bed. I cover with a thin layer of a mixture of humus, fertile soil and sand (1: 1: 1) from above. And there are no problems with germination - the sprouts go together!
    The main thing is that the rows are not thickened, nothing needs to be thinned out. It remains only in a timely manner to weed and water. At the same time, I pull out the carrot gradually, as it grows: if the root crops have become palm-length and longer, please come to the table, if smaller, grow further and gain strength. And so on until the frosts. I don’t even know how many buckets of carrots I get from my small garden - we eat all summer and autumn, and enough for the winter.

    Since the soil is well fertilized with manure and ash when sowing, I feed the carrot only in July. The treat for it consists of a solution of chicken manure (1: 10), which I distribute before feeding on a liter in a bucket, adding half a liter of ash. This method suits me perfectly. And I grow varieties Losinoostrovskaya and Nantes.

    If you take the carrot cuttings (its upper part with a tail) and put it in a bowl of water, then in two weeks they will start the roots, and in two weeks they can be planted in the ground as seedlings. As a result, young carrots will ripen from the scraps.

      NOT TRUE.

      To grow new root crops from carrot scraps, alas, will not be possible, since the upper part is incapable of rooting. From the top of the carrot at home, by forcing out, you can get only a crop of fresh greens, rich in carotene, vitamins and trace elements. For this, cuttings of thickness 1,5-2 cm are placed in a bowl of water or stuck in moist sand and put on a window sill, periodically watering. Young leaves will grow about a week after "planting" (they are added to salads, soups).

    WE MAKE CARROT WITH COFFEE
    When planting carrots I mix the seeds with the dried coffee used. The effect is obvious: seeds are seldom seeded (less to be thinned out) and fertilized at the same time. And most importantly, the smell of coffee scares off parasites, carrot pests. The harvest is always excellent, and it is kept all winter.

    I have not yet met my method of sowing carrots. In the prepared bed width 90-100 cm, I make three furrows along the depth of 3 cm. I shed them with a solution of potassium permanganate. The palm of the hand I take on the earth and the seeds that are drained and pasted onto toilet paper. Screws are covered with a layer of sifted sand 3-3,5, see.
    Between grooves scattered seeds of dill and abundantly watered the whole garden. I close lutrasilom until the middle of July.

    Why? Sand never dries to the ground. Seeds are planted on 5-6 day. And dill I pull out before flowering, cut and freeze. I leave the part, it keeps lutrasil. There are almost no herbs there, so there is no problem with weeding and thinnings. I pour on lutrasila.
    When there is a need to pull out dill and a rare herb, I do it at 9-10 in the evening - because of a carrot fly.

    For a good harvest, I bring in the fall to the future carrot garden humus, and in the spring I add ash, crushed eggshell and dig.

    To be convenient to sow, I take a tin can, I make holes in it, I put seeds in it, I draw grooves on the bed and shake the seeds over them. If the seedlings are too thick, I delete the superfluous ones.
    Sow a row of carrots - a row of radishes. So I manage to get a harvest of radishes, and then the carrots begin to grow. And I also plant radishes along the edge of the garden bed (just not in the middle) - there it does not interfere with carrots at all. Constantly watering, weeding planting. Loosening, I think, is optional - when you weed out, the soil in any case loosens.
    Every 2 year I swap the carrot and beetroot beds. The carrot grows well after the onion. On the onion bed, the root crops are not damaged by the carrot fly larvae.
