In this video you will learn my tricky way to plant carrots in spring! Planting carrots is carried out in the spring in early April! Planting carrots is better, as I show in the video SOWING CARROTS WITHOUT THINING AND WEEDING THE SECRET OF WISE GARDENERS because in such a cunning way you will reduce the consumption of carrot seeds and make your carrot bed even! Before planting carrots in the spring, be sure to spill the bed with water and let it soak in, so the carrot seeds are saturated with moisture and germinate quickly! a tricky way to plant carrots that you will learn by watching this video will help you reduce the time for planting carrots, and in spring time is very precious to us because there are a lot of things to do!

Thank you, this trick actually works for so many other plants and avoids transplant shock. You just have to space them appropriately when seeding in the carton.
You are welcome.
When hunting many years ago, it was tinted and there had been heavy snow but now melted, we came upon carrots that had been frozen. They were the sweetest carrots I had ever eaten!
Winter not
Tinted
That’s genius! I struggled planting carrots and I’ve been trying every year. I am going to try this method and see if this works for me. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
You are welcome. And thank you.
I have never had luck with carrots but I'm going to try this right now! Thanks.
After reading some of the negative comments.
I think this guy is into something. I'm going to try this in my raised beds with square foot planting.
I live in a semi- arid temperate continental climate zone. This will solve many of my issues with dessication.
I love carrots and am so excited about trying this approach for the first time this year. Spring and gardening time can't get here soon enough for me to grow 3-4 different varieties of egg-tray carrots! 🥕🌄🥕
Oh, this is the first time I've seen how to grow carrots like this. We usually sow the seeds directly into the ground and have to prune them a lot when they grow into seedlings. With this method, you've saved nearly half of the seeds you used to sow the old way, which is amazing!
By pelleted seeds instead of wasting all the time he does
@@davemartini4391 pelleted seeds are far more expensive. Time is a free resource when used wisely.
This is pretty smart, and you could transfer the egg carts to whatever bed works for you , and in many places that would be a raised bed. I'm starting to really like the channel.
thank you
No thinning means you don't attract pests that can destroy your carrot crop. Starting early lets you plant carrot trays as a catch crop. With little soil exposed, there is virtually no weeding. Using this method along with drip irrigation makes carrots extremely low maintenance. Its not needed, but it helps maximize efficiency. Love it!
Really like the spacing the Carton makes. Thank you. Stay growing
You are welcome. And thank you.
This works in a pot if you cut the carton to help. I just tried after watching your video. And thank you I never thought of soaking the seeds for carrots.
Agree thinning needs to be upgraded and improved.
I'm planning a thinning tool also.
I'm trying this egg cartons trick
Thanks
What a great idea and to grow the carrots without having to thin them all out which affects the growth of the carrots. I shall be watching more of your videos. 😊
Thank you.
I’m doing this right now as we speak. I saved your video to look back on later. I’ve never had luck with carrots but I’m excited to try this.
Same here 👍
Mine germinated in 6 days!
2 each it’s own I luv the way u grow ur carrots well done,,,,Gardening is hard work,,,and I can see u really enjoy gardening,,,,Bravo,,,
Merci beaucoup. Excellente idée !🍀
That's so cool!! I just need to get my hands on more egg cartons!
Or eat more eggs😄
@@RS-gl9ht We have chickens so don't buy eggs unless we need a bunch at one time for something. But, my husband said we have some cartons in the garage so I'm a happy camper!
Wow, thank you for a great idea. I'm gonna do that for my beats too following a little bit of adjustment
What a great idea, ive seen them used as seed trays but not to use in the garden itself.
I skipped the first part, just put soil in my egg cartons, couple seeds in each space with very slight dirt on top, pressed firm. Then to a shallow plastic container big enough for the carton to fit. some water in the plastic container with plastic wrap as you did it. Carton absorbs the water, keep it moist till the seeds sprout. April 4th, carrots will have to wait to go out, 5 inches of snow today. Thanks for the video.
Would this work for other root vegetables, like beets? I may give it a try 😊. Thank you for sharing!
@@michaelgrant6217 It does for me. I use a 18 egg carton, skip every other cell due to the size of the beets at harvest, so I got 9 beets per carton.
Much better solution; thank you! I tried his way and it was nigh on impossible to take the germinated seed off the damp tissue. I'm sure I left the root behind on several of the carrots I tried to pry off the tissue. I ended up just planting the tissue in the garden to thin out after planting only two egg cartons.
Yep, I’m doing that this year. Such a great idea, and so easy.
You are welcome
That's brilliant! You just made my day!
That’s fantastic! I never would’ve thought of that. Thank you for sharing 😊
you're welcome
I really like this idea. I'm trying different things this year, so will definitely try this one, thanks!
I’ve read that carrots that are replanted curl while growing. It seems here that that’s only if they are transferred later than those tiny sprouts. I’ve actually loved them when they’re curly.
Great method! Thanks for your ingenuity and generosity!
Boa You are 100% correct about transplanting carrots, I have never and will not do it.
If you go to my channel and see how I sow carrots and it is not very often I have to thin them out.
How to get the carrot seeds?
@@user-eo3dk6em3y , I order them from Burpee or Gurney’s seed companies here in the US. I got heirloom seeds and then let on or two go to seed and use those for the next year.
That is a very creative idea. Thank you for sharing . My achy back and patience thank you, as well!
Pure genius. You just changed my life for the better forever eternity.
Yup!! Super Cool!! I'm on it!! Thank You!!
That is a great way to sow and grow carrots. I am going to do that. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. This is the best video on CZcams as regards the planting of carrots at home. Thank you Sir . Greetings from Cameroon
You are welcome. Greetings from Ukraine.
Waaaw your doing all this wonderful gardening from Ukraine Bro.
It's a great source of inspiration to me honestly. Thanks
I'm doing lemongrass essential oil and other essential oils too
This egg carton method is a great idea .... thanks a lot .... it makes gardening pleasurable now. ❤❤
You are welcome
thankyou for sharing your knowledge!!!!!
Do you know how the cardboard for the egg trays are made? Unfortunately most cardboard is made with wetting agents that contain forever chemicals. I taught cardboard was going to be my sliver bullet until I looked into it a bit more.
Thats the best idea ive seen in a long time, going to try this year 😊 😊
This is soooo amazing. You a my HERO. Thank you for such a magnificent idea. You are a great teacher!!! 🙌🙌💯
Rien à dire ! C'est complètement génial !
This is brilliant! Thank you.
Beautiful and tasty. Thank you AMAZING GARDEN!
That's a very interesting method. The egg trays really serve a dual purpose as both planting tray and mulch/weed barrier all in one. Thanks for making the video! The spacing is very similar to what you use with the Square Foot Gardening method. The close spacing alone does a lot to prevent weeds but you've added the additional benefit of a weed barrier. The question that came to my mind is where do you find that type of egg tray? That many trays would be a 10 year supply of eggs for most of us! 😀
Those are the “carton” for eggs at big box stores like Costco or Sam’s Club. Might be at other places those are just what I am aware of.
@@carolstrickland6979 Thanks! I've never shopped for eggs at Sam's club so I didn't know that. I'll have to take a look the next time I'm there. (It still seems like a LOT of eggs though!)
Many restaurants buy their eggs this way too. A regular diner will go through many flats just serving breakfast.
Sams club or Walmart when you buy eggs by the case. Or you might approach a smaller restaurant to see if they have then. P
I have a baking business. I buy eggs by the case from Sams.....I've been throwing them away. Can you SEE my sad face???.
This also works well with staggering your planting. plant two trays, then a week later plant two more, then another two and so on.
Thank you! I will try this!
Wow... that is so genius!!! Thank you!!! Maybe I'll actually get some carrots now... lol.
Not genius, its a waste of effort, buy pelleted seeds its way faster and easier
Oh, that's clever. That would be nice for succession seeding, too. And it would make planting parsnips so much easier, since they take forever to sprout.
Hi Great. I just suggest the following when poking holes to pant the seeds, it is much simpler to just put another carton on top and push it down slightly, all the holes will be the same depth and in the centre of the planting carton.
Can’t wait to try this method. Thank you❤
You are welcome
Seems like a great idea, I think I will try it! Thank you.
Great idea. Very innovative. Thanks for the tip. Excellent video. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You are welcome
Thank you for posting this - I'm definitely going to try it. I've been terrible at thinning my carrots 😄
You are welcome
Can't wait to try thank you! Much success to you and you plant family as well
Por fin encuentro una excelente idea para sembrar zanahorias sin tener que arrancar plantitas, Dios te bendiga siempre y gracias por compartir este maravilloso vídeo.
De nada, y gracias por sus amables palabras.
I had the prettiest green tops on my first ever growing in 5 gal buckets one year. Then, they just were little bitty, not even fingerling size. Such a disappointment. I left them outside for the critters. But I plan to do this....every step... I'm so in awe of this GENIUS method!
This is such a wonderful idea. I'm definitely going to try this method 😀
The one thing I have struggled with in my garden is growing carrots😆 This year new idea, with your help>>thank you!
Buy pelleted seeds if faster and easier
Beautiful job! Thank you sharing!
you're welcome
Thanks for the wonderful tip!
Hello. Absolutely great way to sow carrot seeds. Thank you so much for sharing and new subscriber here. Sharing this video and tagging you if okay. 😊Happy Gardening 🌱🌻
thank you, this was very interesting and I'm happy that I learned something from watching it.
Thanks...going to try this method this Summer
Thank you so much. I will try to do the same thing
Thank you, love from Ireland
You are welcome
Muy buena idea gracias❤
Thank you for sharing, must try this 😊
I have a seed tray with 6 rows of 12, one inch pots a little bigger than a thimble. I just press it into the soil, drop a seed in each hole cover them up and done! Perfect spacing every time. No need to make things harder than they need to be.
And then transplant? I can't picture what you are using.
@@carolb5677 No transplant. I press the bottom of the seed starter tray directly into the ground then remove it. It leaves 48 little holes in the ground that are evenly spaced apart. I then drop a seed into each hole and cover them with soil. I used to lay a piece of peg board on the ground and use a small dowel to poke each hole and then drop the seed but this gives you the same result and is much faster. If you want them further apart use every second hole. IE for beets.
@@asquithmainlines699 Great! Thanks so much.
This is really a neat idea, thank you.
Perfecto este método no lo conocía voy a probarlo, pero primero tengo que garvillar la tierra tengo muchas piedras, te sigo desde Valencia-España.😄
That is a very good gardening tip, I will give that a go this year.
I had a lot of trouble with carrot fly last year so I will also keep the plants covered with a net.
Make a fence around your carrots about a foot high. Using canes and a fine mesh, that should cure the fly. A raised bed also works well
Když mezi mrkev zasadíte cibuli, ta odpudí mrkvovou mušku a naopak mrkev odpudí cibulovou mušku.
@@ScottMason-ss8wwYeah and also use rows of unions, they protect each other from insects.
Nice method. I´ve collected tons of egg cardboard for years, not really knowing what to do with them. Know i know the reason 😁, thank you!
absolutely brilliant
Total genius!
I love this idea!
Amazing! Thank you!
I’m trying this now!
Excellent 😃 Thank you very much for sharing this method 🙏 Very well thought out..
You are welcome
@@amazinggarden definitely gonna be trying soon 😁
You, Sir, are a genius.
Wow.. very good idea ! Thanks a lot!!!
Love this idea - will dive this a go. However it'll be planting in grow bags.
Thank you.
Gratidão por compartilhar sua idéia neste vídeo. Vou fazer
Cool idea! Gona try this..just don’t wait too long for seeds to sit in the bag. Once they sprout get them in the soil. Cheers!
I can sow hundreds of carrot seeds and only get two or three spindly things because the slugs and voles get them when they germinate. I was just looking at my egg cartons today thinking if I could maybe use them to give the carrots a head start. It's worth a try!
super je vais pratiquer cette methode merci beaucoup bonne journée
Wow great idea!! Thank you!!
Thank You so much for essential information
You are welcome
Wow this is amazing idea! I’m going to try it this year 👍
Thank you.
Brilliant technique. I always have crappy results either carrots. Will probably try.
Thats a great idea I WILL TRY THAT, WOULD THA WORK FOR PARSNIPS AS WELL
thank you very much for sharing this realy great idea!
You are welcome.
Buona idea! proverò! mi piace sperimentare ! grazie e buon pomeriggio 👍🏻🤗
Brilliant! Now I know why I've been saving egg cartons :)
This is ingenious! 👏
Thank you.
Genius - doing right now - wondering how about for fatter root veggies - just use every other egg carton cup??? Thanks so much for this video!
Very nice indeed. Egg trays can also be used to pre-sprout seed potatoes. So if planned carefully one could reuse them twice.
Love it! Thank you.
You are welcome.
Very nice! In areas with hot climates, water evaporation is incredibly fas on the first fewbinches of soil .. even mulch doesn't help in blazing summer sun. The cardboard egg crates will become compost after harvest. Nice!
This method is a lifesaver for areas where it is very hot.
This method IS super cool - thanks
You are welcome
I love it. efficient and neat. Can I germinate beet seeds using this process?
Thank you for your reply 🙏
Thank you, I going to try this method.
You are welcome
This looks super easy! What other vegetable and flower seeds can be sown this way?
Useful idea you show - though you haven't mentioned screening to protect from carrot fly...?! Regards from Blighty :).
Wonderful thank you.
Thank you for the lesson. I like it
You are welcome.
❤❤❤ thank you brilliant❤❤
Fantastic idea...must get some of those egg cartons? I have not seen them here where I live...only the traditional dozen...I definitely will try this method...greetings from subtropical Australia...😜😜😜
