Hi, carrots grow best on light land but if you have heavy land grow a shorter variety. Once sown don't let them dry out. Rows 6" apart thin out to 2" apart or leave for small tender carrots. Some people say that a barrier arround the bed of fine mesh 2 feet high keeps the fly away as they are low flyers. Feed as required. Hope this will be of help.

Carrots like poor soil and sandy conditions if possible. I grow mine using a 50/50 mix of compost and sharp sand.
