Sow outdoors
Sow thinly 1cm (1/2in) deep in shallow pre-watered drills, in soil that hasn’t been manured in the last 12 months. Keep soil moist at all times. Thin to 5-8cm (2-3in) apart. Avoid crushing the leaves as the scent attracts carrot root fly.
Tips
Carrots do best on light, stone-free, fertile soils. Use fleece to keep low-flying carrot root fly from your crop. Roots store well if cleaned and packed in boxed of dry sand or compost.
