Experienced gardeners advise carrying out a special procedure with carrot seeds 10 days before planting. To do this, put the seeds in a linen bag. If you don't have one, you can use a piece of cloth and tie it in a knot.

Choose a place in an area where no one walks. Dig a hole about 30 centimeters deep and place the seed bag in it. Fill the hole and cover it with plastic to protect the soil from drying out. If the weather is dry, sprinkle mulch on top.

After ten days, dig up the bag. During this time, the seeds will have time to hatch. Dig deep holes, pour water over them, and spread the seeds on them. Sprinkle the future carrots with soil.

After this procedure, the first sprouts of carrots will appear from the ground in 3-5 days. Now your carrots will grow faster and stronger!

We remind you that in the spring, the sowing season begins, nature comes to life, and insects return with it. Some of them, such as ants, can harm your plants, so you need to fight them. Read how to do this in our article.
