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 for your comments. Yes, we will definitely look at implementing them.
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!
Only a pleasure.
Love those knees ❤😊
Yup, those are mine ;)
Thank you for another informative video, Sean and the Livingseeds team.
great tips thanks
Only a pleasure.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
How different the landscape behind you at this time of the year from where I live in the western cape
Yeah, the highveld can be a bit dreary. The Cape is stunning at this time of the year.
Wonderful! Thank you for your advice! I'll try it with carrots again 🫠
Excellent! Once you crack the code it's all smiles.
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!
Thank you for your comment.
You basically want to just cover the seed.
Yes, it was planted in a shallow trench.
They can be thinned out once they get to about 10 cm tall.
@@LivingseedsFarm thank you, I'm going to take your advice and give carrots a go!
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?
Nice question. Typically we are not fans of single element augmentations on our fields. However SOP is a great low salt option if you specifically need to apply Potassium with an available Sulpher ion.
Do you thin them out after
Not really. But it depends how densely you sow the seed.
Thanks for the video! If you don't have hessian, could you some layer of mulch that is easily removed?
Yes, you can, just keep a good eye on the seeds as they germinate to remove the mulch from the tiny seedlings.
I stay in western cape we got winter this side can I grow carrots in winter
Yup. This is the season.
