The most tasty carrots are that which arrives on table from bed at once. Besides the one who grows up it independently can be sure absolutely that it does not contain nitrates and other hazardous substances which get into root crops at industrial cultivation. Especially as carrots - one of the simplest in sowing and leaving of garden cultures.
It is required to you
- - bed with suitable for cultivation of carrots by the soil;
- - carrots seeds.
Instruction
1. It is possible to begin with sowing of carrots at once after descent of snow and drying of the earth, however, if night time temperatures remain too low, the bed should be covered for the night with film. If the soil is too damp, it will affect viability of seeds therefore it is very important to wait for the correct moment.
2. Prepare beds for sowing, slightly raise them over the general ground level, line the grooves of 1-2 centimeters in depth remote from each other on 15-20 cm. The soil for cultivation of carrots has to be easy with the rich maintenance of the chernozem. If the earth in your region cannot brag of special fertile characteristics, when forming bed add to it a little rerotting compost.
3. In order that everything was enough for root crops the place, it is recommended to sow carrots at the rate of 0.5 g of seeds on 1 square meter of the earth, but you can safely increase this quantity in 2, and even 3 times. The thing is that not all carrot seeds keep viability and if it turns out so that carrots will ascend more, than it is necessary, it can always be thinned out, having removed sicklier plants, having left only those which will yield qualitative harvest.
4. Spread out seeds on the prepared grooves, trying to distribute them most evenly. Some gardeners paste seeds paste on paper tapes, claiming that they thereby facilitate future crops, but sometimes process of gluing takes even more time, than unfolding of seeds directly to the earth therefore whether it is worth doing it, you can solve for yourself independently. This action comes true only that case if you are strongly hurt by back or legs and you cannot bend.
5. Powder seeds with the earth, trying not to damage grooves. Well water the turned-out bed. In case of need emergence, cover it with film. Carrots ascend pretty fast and it becomes at once noticeable how high was quality of seeds. If the viability was very low, you can interplant to them new, and even not necessarily same grade. On one bed different types of carrots without any damage to the high-quality qualities can successfully grow and yield harvest.
6. Try not to allow emergence on bed of weeds, at once weed them as soon as you notice. Business even not that they select at carrots the place and nutrients, but also that their radical system can lead to education at carrots of ugly root crops. Hitting against obstacle, the tip of young carrots is split therefore the root crop gets the most fancy outlines.
7. Regularly water shoots. If the young growth has turned out very dense, can thin out it, and you should not hurry with this business especially. Wait until the tops of vegetable reaches 20 cm and there will be no first small carrots which are good to consumption. Leave the strongest plants in calculation that each of them had from 3 to 5 cm of space.
8. There will come the harvesting period in the fall. Just extend carrots for tops of vegetable from bed, you can undermine previously the earth shovel. Exempt collected carrots from tops of vegetable and well dry before putting it on storage.
