This is genius! Thanks for sharing
Thats lovely of you Thank you so much
How did you manage to donate
I love where you’re going with sowing carrots in containers and I’m going to go in that same direction in my greenhouse. But here’s a thought for you. There’s a gardening channel I follow where he does something similar to you, only outside in the ground. There is also another difference that I think you may want to consider. He doesn’t use plastic seed starting trays for spacing, which you remove after poking your holes. He uses 18-cell paper egg crates to do the spacing, and because it’s paper, he fills the crates with compost, plants his seeds in them, and then places the planted crates into his in-ground garden. The crates are paper so they dissolve over time right into the soil and he’s left with perfectly spaced carrots AND no weeds because the paper crates prevent any other growth. Genius. Another difference which you may or may not want to think about is he pre-germinates carrot seeds and then plants the germinated seeds only. No thinning or snipping required.
I’m getting ready to plant a fall-harvest crop of carrots (it’s mid July now) and I’m going to use a combination of his and your methods in my greenhouse. Here’s a link to his episode that describes what he does. I hope you at least find it interesting. Enjoy, and thank you.

Thank you for the info much appreciated
Thank you for this wonderful video. I've been a gardener all my life until I experienced severe health issues a couple year ago. I'm struggling now with mobility issues and many things I took for granted are no longer possible. I thought I would never garden again but now my lovely brother William is making me raised table height planters and bought me some boxes like you just used and we are going to follow your methods. We are both excited and very grateful to you for sharing your ideas. God bless you. Love Vera in Northern Ireland ❤
You are a very determined lady Thank you Vera
you could use colored egg cartons for the holes then the same carton and put the seeds in each thing then gently tap the carton to shake the seeds until they just slide into each hole in the soil.
Good plan thank you
Wonderful to hear a genuine accent, plus terms a novice gardener can understand. Thank you 👏👍😊
Many thanks Anne
Thank Ivan, brilliant Idea using the cells, for spacing. Definitely going to give this ago.Thanks for sharing .
Excellent
Thank you Sheila
Well I know what I'm doing this weekend. Cheers Ivan.
Great stuff
Thank you Craig
I use the cardboard tubes from toilet/kitchen roll. Cut them into circular strips about 2cm, lay them onto the soil and drop 2/3 seeds into each.
Brill
Thank you
Thank you! From zone 3, Baudette Minnesota USA ❤
Thank you too Jill
You genius! Been following your channel for a few months now and I’ve learnt so many tricks like this one, thank you so much for sharing!
Lovely of you to say Thank you so much Jamie
I find a much easier way to sow my Carrot seeds is to buy pelleted Carrott seeds you can then sow at the correct spacing and no need to thin them out 👍🏻
Yes it is but pelleted are more expensive
Thank you
So love your channel! Such an inspiration
Thank you Victoria much appreciated
Thank you, really good video. Let's give it a go.
Brill

Thank you Patti
Inspiring as usual…bucks me up to think I can keep gardening this year.. thank you.
Great
Thank you Glenys
Get yourself a stepped drill bit, I find it the easiest way to make holes in pots, means just one drill bit for multiple sized holes
Great
Thank you Sarah
Brilliant ideas regarding the seed trays and the blue basket for spacing, had not thought of that. Off to get hubby in the loft to get one of those baskets down, he’s gonna love you lol. Thanks Ivan, stay safe x
Lol

Hope you enjoy
Great idea Ivan, i'll give thank a go thanks🐞
Thank you
Two excellent tips there, cheers. I'll be using both the spacing and the cling film cover in future.
Brill
Thank you Stu
You could pop dowels into another wood pad like you have to level the soil. Then it would be easier once made. Save the pen 🖊, but I like how tidy that is.
Great idea!
Thank you
Oooohhh now im invigorated. Thats exactly the detail i needed. Defo gonna do this ❤
Brill

Simple but effective idea. For larger carrots I'm assuming you could use every second cell. Love the way you explain things & your infectious enthusiasm. Motivates me to get out into the garden. Thank you for sharing your love of gardening & passing on your knowledge.

Me agai.
I have just pulled up my shallots. I was wondering if i can use these as sets to plant next year. If so how do i store them, will they keep or is it best to buy new ones.
These ideas for carrots by the way are fab. I will definitely be stealing this idea for my next sewing. Thank you so much
As far as i know yes you can i will look into the process for you
Thank you Maria
Well Ivan I've ordered tge nante 2 seeds thanks for another very helpful video. What size is your pot please? I got my moister meter today and I've definately been over watering. Thank you so much for telling us all about.
Size is around 3ft long maybe 8 inch across and 7 inches deep at a guess
Glad you got the meter
Thank you Edwina

Much appreciated Thank you William
Ivan, what are the dimensions of the planters you use for the carrots please and thanks
Any size will do

Thank you Sue
Ivan how long should I leave the carrot seedlings before thining out also i too would like to donate to you let me know how you would like this PayPal etc.
Thank you Pal 😉
Hello Andrew i wait until they have a few true leaves and around 3 inches tall then i thin them you can do this when they are smaller if you are careful
You can donate via the paypal donate button in the description and it would be much appreciated Thank you
Where do you buy your sprayer for watering?
Hi there Wilko
I have some carrot seeds from 2023, do you think they will still germinate?
Yes they will be fine Thank you Joan
Oh just thought 🤔
I have some sifted compost with perlite & vermiculite mixed in, if i add some horticultural sand can i use this for my carrots 🥕?
Or do i make new and just add the f b b ?
Hi Donna yes that will be fine
Thank you
You had your divot already. Why use a pen?😅
Too wide for the hole
Thank you
