Planting & Care Instructions:

Create trenches in your soil of about 2cm deep

You can also sow direct to containers or pots that are at least 9inches deep for a straighter crop
Take your carrot seeds and drop one every 2cm or so
The more accurate you are with the sowing, the less thinning out you’ll need to do
Rake fine soil over the trenches to cover the seeds and pat down gently
The less tampering that happens during the carrot growth cycle, the less likely you are to attract carrot root fly
Do not over-care or water the plants, so that the roots grown deep in search of nutrients
