A clever way to plant carrots

Spring is already on the nose, which means it's time to stock up on quality seeds, get shovels, rakes, watering and other equipment from a secluded place. Winter rest was left behind, and the spirit of “sowing fever” simply hovers in the air.

And today's edition. "Site" will share the secret of how to increase the yield of carrots due to a cunning method of planting. Surely many faced the need to constantly thin these roots. Therefore planting Without too much fuss, our method will be a real salvation. Try it because there are so many things to do in the spring.





The planted root crops interfere with each other, so for the sake of a good harvest they have to be thinned. Most often, carrots are initially heavily watered to make it easier to pull out, and thinned with tweezers. However, the problem can be solved even earlier - at the time of landing.

For our method, you will need a pot (liter 3), a watering pot, a 2-liter plastic bottle, 3 tablespoons of starch (or flour) and about 2 tablespoons of carrot seeds.





The first thing you need to do is make a kleister. It is better to take all the same starch, because in this case the liquid will be translucent, which will help to plant carrots correctly. It's harder to do with flour.

Preparation
  1. Pour the water into a pot and put it on the fire. Starch diluted in a cup with water at room temperature.
  2. When the water in the pan boils, add diluted starch there and boil a little over a slow heat. At the same time, stir so that the kleister turns out to be homogeneous.
  3. The mass should be thick enough, but it is easy to drip from a spoon. If it is too thick, dilute with water. Cleister's ready!





Cool the liquid and fill the bottle with it. The size of the bottle is proportional to the volume of carrot seeds. So for 1 tbsp. l. seeds, a liter bottle is enough. We have 2 tbsp. l. seeds, so we use a two-liter container. Moreover, the bottle should not be added to 150-200 ml to fit the seeds and you can shake the contents.





Now pour the seeds into a pre-filled kleister bottle. This can be done with the help of water. Do not forget to dry the watering water, otherwise the seeds will stick. Close the bottle with a cork and shake so that the seeds are evenly distributed inside. It should be something like this.





Now we can start landing. Initially, try the bottle in a small area to understand how fast the bottle should be driven, distributing the seeds at perfect intervals. The main thing is not to make thicker than necessary. Also note that before planting the bed should be heavily watered, and the distance between the grooves should be at least 20 centimeters.





Planting carrots in spring This technology will save you from unnecessary fuss in the garden - root crops do not have to thin. Another advantage is that the kleister is not absorbed for a long time, leaving the necessary moisture for the seeds. This allows you to count on early sprouts of carrots and a quick harvest.





And to please yourself all year round with a rich harvest of not only carrots, but also other crops, stick to the lunar sowing calendar. Do not forget to use interesting ideas from experienced gardeners.





Remember that even in the worst area, with due diligence and the right approach, you can get a generous harvest. Simply implement the idea of a “smart garden” where crops are grown in high beds.
