I planted some of you seed and they were great carrots, but I never followed succession planting so we did not get enough. Would you use worm leachate on a growing carrot bed? Are you planting new carrots in June? Would you please consider mentioning the months when you do future videos, as we sometimes watch them out of season?
I would be grateful if you did more demonstrations of your sowing. Maybe a weekly or monthly short of what you will be planting (though I did download your calendar). Thanks and love

Thank you so much! The rainbow carrot seeds I ordered from Livingseeds turned out so beautifully! Tasted great and such vibrant colours!! My dogs and cats even loved eating them too!

I plant mine by sprinkling on top of an inch of fine compost, hit them with a hose sprayer to set them in place and set up micro-sprinklers and leave them on all day until the carrots come up. I fertilize once, when they get two or three good leaves. I'm growing on almost pure sand.

Great video, thanks! How thin is "thin" for the layer of soil? Just a sprinkle? Did you put the seeds in a small trench? Do you thin the seedlings out after they germinate? Thank you!

Thanks for the video! If you don't have hessian, could you some layer of mulch that is easily removed?

What are you thoughts on using Sulfate of potash? Would you also want to top dress only with this?
Also what affects have you seen with using soft rock phosphate in your carrot beds and other root crops?
