Sowing carrots with mulching

To get the maximum harvest of carrots, I sow a flower bed in the late autumn, the other - in April, but it happens, and in the summer sown (such carrots better be kept until the next harvest).

How to prepare seeds for planting

You can check the germination of seeds. But I prefer doseyat if some sort of carrot is not ascended.

Of course, if you sow on large areas, then check germination is mandatory!

Before sowing the seeds of carrots need to pour water for soaking. Every 5 minutes for an hour they should stir and watch what seeds emerge, and then delete that float, a tablespoon.

As you know, carrots long rises, so the water is necessary to hold the seeds up to 24 hours. Then the seed need to be dried on the paper, so that it became loose. Periodically stir the seeds for rapid and uniform drying.

Driving beds

Flower bed is better to prepare since autumn and make fertilizer. Width - 1.2 m, paths width - 40 cm (if you will have several beds).

Flower bed is better to shed the day before sowing.

Sowing carrot Mulch - steps

Before planting, the soil should be podryhlit rake. Then carefully make hiller ranks, with plane or chopper to seeding depth was the same - 3-4 cm. Row spacing - 15 cm.

After sowing rake sleep, leading them on a bed at an angle. Next, you need a little hands rammed earth, or the plane of the chopper, and if so, a wooden roller.

Followed by mulching with well-rotted manure or compost over the entire area of ​​the beds. Organics should be "ripened" and loose. Per square meter will require 5-6 liters of mulch.

Why mulch?

It is necessary to increase the chance of carrots to climb. The moisture will stay longer in the garden and will not form a dense crust of irrigation and rain. Plus seedlings get extra food from organic matter. It is necessary to monitor soil moisture and not allow to dry land.
