Homegrown carrots are simply fabulous and delicious. You should choose the right root size and shape of carrots for your soil, preferably well-drained, loose, crumbly soil without stones, with plenty of organic matter and pH between 6.0 – 6.5. For best possible crop dig up the soil and loosen it, add plenty of mature compost and remove stones. Thin carrot seedlings 1 inch apart in the beginning and thin again 2 weeks later to achieve 2 and 4 inches spacing. Keep the soil moist and reduce weed problems.
