Tryed the double row method this late August and had great success. easier to plant, weed and got double production from a 2 row 40 foot long bed.For better production and straighter carrots plant on a raised bed using a row hipper.

Thanks for the great video. I have very heavy clay soil, and through trial and error found this method to work best. I no longer till the soil, but plant a deep rooting cover crop then mow it or roller crimp right before or at bloom. Sometimes I plant turnips, beets or radishes before instead of cover crop. The idea is to break loose the soil. Then I cover it with black plastic for 4-6 weeks depending on how cold it is. Then I work a light cultivation with a small amount of compost. I plant 4 rows on 30” beds with 18” walkways. In my soil this method outperformed all other methods by a considerable amount. I seed raw seed with your hoss seeder with a slightly more opened up #2 plate. I sprinkler germinate, then switch to drip once fully up. I was surprised to see you hand sow your raw seed!

Thanks so much for this video. I planted carrots and only a few have germinated. Your tips about planting a lot of seed and keeping the soil moist for the seeds to germinate are very helpful.

I bought some pepper seeds from you and by chance there was a stray carrot seed in the pack I have no idea what the variety ie but it is growing strong and healthy everything we get from you does really well even if it’s a random seed!! Looking forward to tasting it soon !! Thanks I plan on ordering carrot seeds from you next season !!

Once again you guys give the Best info! Definitely going to try this method this year with my carrots.

[bertinabeng]

Wow! I love it! I found the first video that didn't talk about thinning out... oh, one that actually talked about not thinning out. So it's another tip I learned. Meanwhile, I might not be mechanincal but I think this application will help a great deal. Thank you... Let's do carrots!

Catching up on videos while trying to improve my carrot knowledge.

[wsmith]

Thanks for a most informative article, I would love to find sources to purchase the manual tools that you use.

Nice information video on growing carrots which is one vegetable i know nothing about growing so thanks for that . One quick question after you have havest the carrots do you pull up your drip tape and can you reuse next season? Thanks Jason

You mentioned shooting some fertilizer to the carrots. What fertilizer schedule do you advise on carrots?

[cherylbertolini]

Thanks so much for the great tips! I planted pelleted last year and they grew:) did not buy them this year I’m going to try scarlet Nate’s, cosmic purple and Amarillo carrots non-pelleted.

[ronbell]

Travis, I just can't stand bending over to plant those seeds by hand. So, I use my Hoss seeder and the pelleted seeds for lettuce, broccoli, and carrots! Carrots are a bit more of challenge, and patients is a virtue with carrots as they take a long time to mature! I am doing more and more with my broad fork and wheel hoe. Maybe you should retouch on using these tools in another video!

[reesietee]

How do u keep the critters out of them? Like Thumper?🐿🐇🐺

[howardrawlings]

I have trouble with germination, just like you said. I don't have a large patch like you. Someone suggested I put a board over them until they come up. Have you ever tried this?

[brmabry]

What’s your thoughts on using mushroom compost as a soil amendment? Made my first order yesterday really excited! Thanks Brett from Arkansas!

[debvoltolina]

Nothing like a nice fresh carrot. Where do you get one of those garden tools.
