    I have tried various methods and this time I have used the method that you described. I have soaked my seed for four days before I made the cornstarch mixture. I planted mine plus minus 1 cm deep and the carrots started showing signs on day 10. So, in total it is 14 days from soaking the seeds. In my opinion this method is by far the easiest and the quickest with the best results.

    Ok so I was intrigued by this idea and a bit skeptical since I couldn’t find a follow up video on how successful this method was for you. But I can’t resist a good garden experiment and I already had all the stuff on hand. So I followed your directions pretty much exactly and…
    IT WORKS! Holy crap it works. Less than 7 days after the start of the process (soaking the seeds) I have rows of baby carrot sprouts in my garden bed!
    I’ve never had carrots germinate and grow this quickly. This method is worth it for that aspect alone but I also appreciate that I’ll have less thinning to do than usual.
    Thank you for the tutorial! This is definitely my new go-to carrot-sowing method.

    The corn starch gel is the coolest method I have ever seen and I have been growing a veggie garden for almost 50 years! I am going to try it this year!

The infrastructure is very expensive and we already are commercial beef cattle producers already so we are somewhat busy.

    You can easily start 10 carrots per 2" seed starter hole. When the carrots have germinated and the tops are about 2" tall, you can pop them out of the starter hole and plant them, spaced perfectly in your garden. That way, there is no need for sand or corn starch. It's easy and there's no need for thinning. Thanks, you do wonderful work.

    Your dog stole a carrot! :)
    I think your carrots are going to love the soft soil, they should be able to grow more easily and straight.
    You can never go wrong with carrots, they can be used for a lot of things.

    Thank you very much for that. I never had much luck with maincrop carrots, only with early carrots, because in the UK we tend to get dryer weather around late spring and early summer. I'll definitely give the cornstarch method a go. Only thing I wish I could see was how to pre-germinate the seeds before mixing with the cornstarch mix.

    • @HerEcolife

      Well there are plenty of videos online that show how to germinate seeds. Type in germinating sprouts and you will find :)

    • @HerEcolife
      @HerEcolife  Рік тому +1

      Minimum dirt on top of course but enough to keep the soil wet on top and not too much to let the seeds come through. The more soil you out on top the longer it takes for the plant to reach the sun.

    Great video. The shots are nicely done! Seeded my first 100’ of carrots today. I’ll wait another week to put in more. It’s been so dry. My last Salanova and Romaine transplants are young, hot, and thirsty but look like they will make it. I’ve never tried the cornstarch solution. Very clever! Good luck with your season Mallorie!

      They both give same results. The cornstarch is just way faster to seed out.
