    It consists in the following: take the paper, cut into narrow strips. Cuts should be as wide as beds. Next, glue carrot seeds to paper strips with a starch-based cluster. The width between the seeds is about 3-4 cm. You can first paste the seeds and then cut the paper. After everything is dry, roll the strips into rolls and We are waiting for a favorable time for sowing..





    When this time comes, you just need to stretch paper strips with seeds along the furrows, sprinkling with earth. By the way, you can find carrot seeds on the tape on sale, but the cost is many times higher than usual. If you have time, It is better to make the strips yourself..

  2. The second method is to soak the seeds before sowing. This will reduce the appearance of shoots by 5-6 days. At the same time, the seeds will be prepared, there will be no “bald spots” in the garden. Also, swollen seeds are easier to plant, and you can do without thinning. So, what you need to do: put the seeds of carrots in a small linen bag or dense gauze. We moisten it well and then bury it in the garden.



    We dig in a week, assess the condition of the seeds. They should be swollen, some may even sprout. Next, sprinkle the seeds on a plate, add a couple of spoons of starch to them - the seeds will turn white. We can safely go to the garden and drop off.

  3. The following method: salt-plant. To do this, take a small plastic bottle (for example, from under yogurt), make a hole in the lid. The hole should be as big as the seeds. Then we just “salt” our grooves. With this approach, the landing will be more uniform. View this post on Instagram

And the last way, which is no worse than the others, sand-planting. Take 2 spoonfuls of seeds for half a bucket of sand, mix thoroughly. We put the mixture in the grooves. Then we sprinkle the furrows with soil. The thing is, Carrots grow very well in the sand.. Moreover, the fruits will differ in sweetness and beautiful appearance.




Now you know, carrotto avoid thinning out. Of course, it is possible to refine and sow seeds without improvised means. However, conditions do not always allow this. First, we need windless weather. Secondly, it will take a lot of time for careful sowing. If you do everything somehow, the carrots will have to thin. It is not that you will get a good harvest.



So we recommend you to choose one of the 4 described options and test this year on your beds. What method do you think is the most convenient and reliable? Have you been using one of the suggested methods for a long time? Tell me in the comments!
