How to double the harvest of carrots

Having a larger amount of carrots is possible and also quite simple. Usually what prevents carrots from growing in greater numbers is the presence of weeds. With the method that we will see today the presence of weeds will be practically nil, allowing all the seeds to germinate so as to obtain more carrots.

In our country outdoor planting takes place in March. First you need to prepare the ground. It is essential to have a well-fertilized soil, composed of substrate for vegetables and flowers mixed with wood ash. Ash will help fertilize and keep pests away.

Mix the soil well and create a small raised flower bed. All you need is a pallet or pallet to be placed on top of the newly built hill. Be sure to press well in the pallet and then fill all the holes with the substrate.

Then prepare strips of toilet paper on which to lay the seeds. Fold the strips so as to leave the seeds inside, moisten with a spray and water and lay the strips in the holes between the pallet boards. Then cover with another substrate. In this way the planks of the pallet will not allow weeds to develop and the carrots will be able to grow undisturbed, larger and in greater numbers. In 3 to 4 months the carrots will be ready for harvest.

If carrots are exposed to a large amount of sun it is necessary to cover them with a cloth to protect them from any burns. Be sure to harvest carrots before they become too large, otherwise they will become hard and fibrous. Once harvested, carrots can be stored in the refrigerator or frozen for future use.
