Growing carrots is often associated with numerous problems.Seeds do not grow well, the roots are small or misshapen.The most common reason for this is the unfavorable soil structure. A heavy, confluent substrate with a low content of organic matter delays and limits the emergence of plants (due to the tendency to crusting), which even under good conditions germinate only after 2-3 weeks. Such a substrate also prevents the proper growth of roots, causing various deformations.
Therefore, in the cultivation of root vegetables, especially carrots and parsley, the soil should be properly prepared using cultivation and organic fertilization.You can also try to grow these vegetables in the ridges.These are raised beds, 20-25 cm high and 20-30 cm wide, on which 2 or 3 rows of seeds can be sown.
Ridges are formed from the substrate well mixed with the compost. However, with this cultivation method, do not forget to water the beds - the water evaporates much faster.Remember also not to grow root vegetables one after another in the same position - the recommended break is 3-4 years.
