    In this video you will learn my tricky way to plant carrots in spring! Planting carrots is carried out in the spring in early April! Planting carrots is better, as I show in the video SOWING CARROTS WITHOUT THINING AND WEEDING THE SECRET OF WISE GARDENERS because in such a cunning way you will reduce the consumption of carrot seeds and make your carrot bed even! Before planting carrots in the spring, be sure to spill the bed with water and let it soak in, so the carrot seeds are saturated with moisture and germinate quickly! a tricky way to plant carrots that you will learn by watching this video will help you reduce the time for planting carrots, and in spring time is very precious to us because there are a lot of things to do!

    I didn't grow carrots last year because I hate trying to get them to germinate outside and then thinning is such a pain. This year I'm using your method and already have 16 dozen carrots growing in the garden. No thinning! I LOVE this! Thank you!

    Thank you, this trick actually works for so many other plants and avoids transplant shock. You just have to space them appropriately when seeding in the carton.

    Oh, this is the first time I've seen how to grow carrots like this. We usually sow the seeds directly into the ground and have to prune them a lot when they grow into seedlings. With this method, you've saved nearly half of the seeds you used to sow the old way, which is amazing!

    No thinning means you don't attract pests that can destroy your carrot crop. Starting early lets you plant carrot trays as a catch crop. With little soil exposed, there is virtually no weeding. Using this method along with drip irrigation makes carrots extremely low maintenance. Its not needed, but it helps maximize efficiency. Love it!

    That's a very interesting method. The egg trays really serve a dual purpose as both planting tray and mulch/weed barrier all in one. Thanks for making the video! The spacing is very similar to what you use with the Square Foot Gardening method. The close spacing alone does a lot to prevent weeds but you've added the additional benefit of a weed barrier. The question that came to my mind is where do you find that type of egg tray? That many trays would be a 10 year supply of eggs for most of us! 😀

    This is a great idea, but we don't buy eggs anymore. We get them free. 🙂 So I came up with an alternative to get the same effect doing the following: Make a template out of thin hard board or 1/4" plywood with the proper spacing. Make the holes the right diameter so a hand dibber will poke through and make the correct depth hole. Lay plain sheets of cardboard (like cut from large boxes) onto the soil and soak. Place your template on the cardboard and poke holes with the dibber. The dibber will poke easily through the wet cardboard. Tadaaa!

    What a great idea, I have thought of using egg cartons but was never sure it would work because they are shallow in depth. Putting a hole in the base of the cartons 🙃. I never thought about using the shovel to pick up the cartons and transfer them that way. I thought they would just fall apart as you lift them. I will defiantly try this technique.
    I have used cardboard juice containers, cutting holes in the base and sides to allow drainage and the roots to poke through. The wax that they use to waterproof the carboard seems to breakdown in the soil ok and you can get a fair amount of potting mix in each container. I just transplant them straight into the soil, this saves transplant shock with larger plants e.g. tomato/ capsicums/chili, Lettice etc. Thanks for sharing, cheers.
