    In this video you will learn my tricky way to plant carrots in spring! Planting carrots is carried out in the spring in early April! Planting carrots is better, as I show in the video SOWING CARROTS WITHOUT THINING AND WEEDING THE SECRET OF WISE GARDENERS because in such a cunning way you will reduce the consumption of carrot seeds and make your carrot bed even! Before planting carrots in the spring, be sure to spill the bed with water and let it soak in, so the carrot seeds are saturated with moisture and germinate quickly! a tricky way to plant carrots that you will learn by watching this video will help you reduce the time for planting carrots, and in spring time is very precious to us because there are a lot of things to do!

    Thank you, this trick actually works for so many other plants and avoids transplant shock. You just have to space them appropriately when seeding in the carton.

    No thinning means you don't attract pests that can destroy your carrot crop. Starting early lets you plant carrot trays as a catch crop. With little soil exposed, there is virtually no weeding. Using this method along with drip irrigation makes carrots extremely low maintenance. Its not needed, but it helps maximize efficiency. Love it!

    Oh, this is the first time I've seen how to grow carrots like this. We usually sow the seeds directly into the ground and have to prune them a lot when they grow into seedlings. With this method, you've saved nearly half of the seeds you used to sow the old way, which is amazing!

    That's a very interesting method. The egg trays really serve a dual purpose as both planting tray and mulch/weed barrier all in one. Thanks for making the video! The spacing is very similar to what you use with the Square Foot Gardening method. The close spacing alone does a lot to prevent weeds but you've added the additional benefit of a weed barrier. The question that came to my mind is where do you find that type of egg tray? That many trays would be a 10 year supply of eggs for most of us! 😀

I then drop a seed into each hole and cover them with soil. I used to lay a piece of peg board on the ground and use a small dowel to poke each hole and then drop the seed but this gives you the same result and is much faster. If you want them further apart use every second hole. IE for beets.
