How to plant carrots so that seedlings appear in 5 days and do not have to thin out.
Everyone who has their own vegetable garden is engaged in the cultivation of carrots. Let it be a very small bed, but this wonderful vegetable is required for the preparation of many dishes, therefore, despite some difficulties in growing, carrots were sown and will be sown most gardeners.
What is the difficulty in growing carrots?
The fact is that not all seeds are capable of breaking through the soil. In this case, you have to sow the carrots and wait again.
Or the root crop emerges very actively and must be thinned out. This is a very laborious process, whoever grows carrots will understand me.
Many gardeners buy expensive seed strips to avoid thinning problems. In this case, the carrots do not sprout very densely and you do not need to remove excess shoots.
In order not to purchase expensive tapes, experienced housewives make them on their own using toilet paper. You can learn more about this interesting method on the Internet.
In this article, I would like to share with you one very effective way to grow a healthy vegetable. In order to achieve the desired result, you will have to start preparing the seeds in advance.
Two weeks before planting carrots, you need to take the seeds and place them in a cloth bag, which is tied, but not very tight. Dig a small hole in the ground no more than 20 cm deep and put seeds in it.
If the soil is not wet enough, then add water to the hole. After lying in the ground for two weeks, the seeds will get rid of essential oils that reduce their germination.
During this period of time, the seeds are saturated with moisture and swell. Some may release roots. But at the same time they become sticky.
In this state, it will be very difficult to sow them. To dry the seeds, it is enough to sprinkle them with starch and mix gently. This will keep the seeds dry and easy to separate.
When you sow regular carrot seeds, they are almost invisible in the dark ground. But the seeds, white from starch, stand out well against the background of dark soil.
If there are many seeds in one place, they can be redistributed so that the carrots do not sprout too densely.
The grooves in which the seeds are placed must be moist. Top carrot seeds are sprinkled with dry soil. Until the time when shoots appear, the rows should not be watered, because the ground after watering hardens and it is difficult for delicate seedlings to break through.
