No body ever shows or talks about how to keep critters out the garden...
This is a well needed topic 🙌
I have carrots growing and found rodents are not interested in them, they love to eat: neighbors' feeding peanuts the most, bigger edible seeds I put down (so I learnt to cover them for a while with 1/2" square mesh) then worms! I do have secure space that was built with wood framed, then cover the frame with 1/2" square mesh then with screen (top side for getting free rain water and fresh air) rest sides with clear tarp. When it is near frost, make a clear tarp top so you can extend the harvest time and start the growing season earlier!
I use a sand/soil mixture so there is zero resistance for the carrots to grow. Add amendments as you normally would. Cover and watch them grow.😃
That's great tip! do remember, water drains from sandy soil very quickly so you will have to water more often.
Your soil must be as fluffy as a pillow. Wow. Those are gorgeous!
Yes, i cover mine with fabric row cover and leave it on until seedlings are 2 inches high. I sprinkle perlite in my drills too... love seeing the green seedling sprout against the white perlite. I have great carrots
Thank you! I might get brave enough to try this☺️
I've tried and tried with carrots, but actually I haven't tried this technique and everyone says it works.
I really need to try this, I should do that tomorrow, it's plenty wet here in California and carrots can germinate in the cool weather.
Yes, right now is the time to plant carrots, beets, radish and turnips!
I'm planting some carrot seeds ahead of the autumn season and I'll try this method 🙂
I do this in my bucket..cover for 3 to 5 days...works..38 carrots in 5 gallon bucket!😊
Hi! What size holes and how many holes are drilled in the bucket, what kind of soil mix do you use, water how often? Would like to try this! 😃
Thank you! I always need to put netting over mine for a while after they germinate, or the neighborhood birds will pull them up.
Birds 🐦 even ate my bachelor buttons sprouts. Most ppl hv only flowers & plants. I hv a Meyer lemon tree & 2 pomegranate trees on my patio. You may hv the only buffet for the birds to eat 😅
@@Fiene-Nix I have a bunch of feeders to try and distract them, though! They don't eat the baby plants! They tear them out and leave them on the surface of the dirt! As if to taunt me...😤
@@froginprogress8510 oh my sounds like a Carrot Purge 🥕 😳... I seriously hope it gets better 🤞🏽
Thank you🙏🏻 and I am hoping to get a bumper harvest in 3 months time 🤞
This is great, Jag. Thank you!! I'll be trying this. Alway so much knowledge gained on your channel.
When your soil gets wet it is very muddy ? Very unusual. What I love to do is mix my carrot seeds with a fine sand!
Best demonstration. Ty sir 😊
ilI will try this ,my carrots never jerminate.
I soak my carrot seeds in a cup of water overnight before sowing them. This shortens germination time.
Thank you.
How do you thin the seeds aren’t They bunched up
How deep does your pot need to be.. I planted them last year.. They germinated but extremely small..
Wow good to know
I did this and I have carrots growing
I just get the soil wet, dump the seeds throughout the growing area, wet the growing area again and call it good
Will covering them so tightly affect them?
Is it a good time to sow carrots seed in Portland, Oregon, 97229? Zone 8b
I'm in 8b in Washington and will start planting carrots this week. Probably any time this month would work for your area.
@@froginprogress8510Thank you for your response
@froginprogress8510 thank you. Have you grown Okra in this area? I am thinking of starting indoor under lights.
@@alpeshrodage I've tried a couple times, but never got it started early enough to really get going before it started cooling off again. I'd get maybe a flower or two, but then they'd just stop growing. This year, I'll be getting them started indoors probably next week, then keep them in my greenhouse in pots, since it rarely stays warm enough at night here even in the heat of summer.
@@froginprogress8510 thanks, sounds good
Can you use the tops for anything?
Compost, mulch, chicken pen bedding.
👍👍👍👍
I thought we were growing kerosene
He doesnt tell you about carrot flies and their maggots which devastate your carrots. Stick to the supermarket.
They spray toxic pesticides on your non organic supermarket food which ends up in the vegetables and fruit which you eat. I run an organic farm and in our inspect by the state of California, i asked if they will be taking soil samples and they said no, i asked why, they said they will take fruit samples because they can detect pesticides and herbicides used in the fruit to determine if it was grown organic or non-organic, that's the fruit and vegetables we are eating. Better pay a lot more for organic from supermarket or grow your own if you do not want to eat poisons.
about an inch away from the trench,I drizzle a line of cheap olive oil the length of the row. canola oil is thinner so disappears too quick but, you could reapply a second line about 2 to 3 weeks later.then, another inch away from the oil row, a line of wood ash all the way. just don't use pine,spruce or cedar (the ph balance and turpentine will 'burn' seedlings). very fine ground up egg shells also help. oils and ash smother a lot of bug/worm/fungal issues. hope the instructions help...it's hard to type the little 'how to' video playing in my head. 😁 happy planting!!! 💕
I'm confused. Carrots don't have seeds. Sooo, they are man made.
Carrot plants produce flowers that make seeds, carrot itself is the root
Can you do it in metric next time so the rest of the world knows what you're on about?
I afraid to try it bcuz slugs like to go under cardboard it happens to me when I use cardboard boxes 🗃️ trying to grow the potatoes
Add Sluggo Iron phosphate under the cardboard: amzn.to/48EcLY3
