[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 373378, member: 367"] Carrots are tough because they are planted so shallow and from my expierence they often get just enough moisture to germinate and then they dry out before they get a chance to come up or if you spray water and get a crust on top they can't break through the crust. We have tricky soil here that I am finally getting in better shape with lots of straw mulch but still pull chunks when I deep till in the fall. A couple years ago I laid some drip tape down the carrot rows and I was fascinated with the difference. I reused it last year with the same results so this year I broke down and laid drip tape in the whole garden and gardening has never been so easy. No more moving the old spray watering systems back and forth and then watering the weeds between the rows. . I roll it up in the fall with the cordless drill and bring it in. The 3 year old stuff is still holding up strong. [/QUOTE]
