To grow carrots in containers, follow these steps:
-
Choose a container that is at least 12 inches deep to accommodate the long roots of the carrots.
-
Fill the container with well-draining soil that is loose and free of rocks, to allow the carrots to grow straight.
-
Plant carrot seeds about 1/4 inch deep and space them according to the seed packet instructions, usually about 3 inches apart.
-
Water the container regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
-
Place the container in a sunny spot where the carrots can receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.
-
Thin out the seedlings once they start growing, leaving the strongest plants to mature.
-
Harvest the carrots when they reach the desired size, usually around 2-3 months after planting.
By following these steps, you can successfully grow carrots in containers.
