• Dig and till the carrot bed when the soil is fairly dry to avoid creating lumps. You want a fine, stone free, texture to allow the roots to grow long and straight
• Avoid freshly manured soil as this may cause hairy, rough roots with splits and forks
• Sow thinly in rows 1cm deep, and 30-40cm in between rows after all danger of frost has passed
• Thin to 16-20 carrots per 30cm for eating while small and 6-10 carrots per 30cm for mid-season, larger roots.
• Dispose of the thinned seedlings to avoid attracting carrot fly
• As they grow earth up soil to ensure they stay covered thus avoiding green tops
