HHHno.17 Harvesting Carrots In Sandy Soil

Again this is for next season,but if I wait for spring I will not have enough time to post all of my Handy Hints.


If you grow carrots on sandy or loose soil,then when it is time to pick them,first push the carrot gently but firmly down into the soil.


Why .............This action will break all of the fine hairs that make pulling carrots a little harder then it need be.

By breaking these threads the carrots will simply slide out of the ground and being less tugged and bruised will store even better.

Sorry this will not work for heavy or clay soils. :?
