[QUOTE="LBrandt, post: 373415, member: 2979"] This is what I do when starting carrots. Wet the area hat I want to plant and fertilize with 10-10-10 and till deep, My walk behind tiller leaves that little two wheel track that I use as a row marker. I have a heavy steel tooth garden rake that is about 12 inches wide and I tamp down the soil in-between the wheel marks leaving tooth marks. I sprinkle carrot seed with a spice bottle with small holes or lay down toilet paper to put seeds on so I can see how thick I am planting seeds. Cover with about 1/4 inch of soil and tamp down lightly with a block of 2/4 say a foot long. Then water with the hose set at the lightest setting of sprinkle. Then for the next two weeks its a light sprinkle every morning and night to keep that top soil moist. I know some times I even water at noon but I am in my garden every day but I like my carrots. The worst part for me is thinning out carrots when they come up because I have to pull more than half of they out and weeding them for the first time is a bitch. Do you know how many kind of weeds look like sprouting carrots. I put in a lot of time into it but my grand nephew said it best when he bit into one of the bucket full that I gave his Mom. Uncle Larry thats a REAL CARROT and coming from a 10 year old that was a complement to keep. In can be a real challenge but me and the good Lord spend a lot of mind healing time in my sand lot I call my GARDEN. Hope this helps LB [/QUOTE]
