Sometimes everything that is needed for good carrots is already on the site. You just need to take a closer look. But pouring fertilizers at random is useless. It is better to start with soil analysis.
The color of the soil will tell
Take a little earth and look at its shade. Black or dark brown is a good sign. It has a lot of organics. But reddish or red soil signals poverty. We'll have to add a ripened compost or humus. Without this, even top dressing will not help.
Cleaning check
Squeeze the earth in a fist. If it crumbles, then this is sandstone, and it is great for carrots. If you sculpt, then clay is in front of you, and it is difficult to breathe and grow in it to root crops in it. Fixing the situation is simple. For each square meter, you need to apply on a bucket of ordinary river sand. He will make the soil light and loose.
Enhanced top dressing
For the best results, you can add a “cocktail” of 500 ml of granular chicken or 200 ml of dolomite flour.
You can also add no more than 2 grams of feeding products that can be purchased in horticultural stores. This is a simple but effective composition that will support the growth and health of root crops.
Neat bed: beautiful fruits
Carrots are important that the soil is clean and even. Remove stones, hard lumps and remains of the roots. This will help to avoid curves or bifurcated fruits and get a crop of beautiful neat root crops.
