Anyone tried seed tape for carrots?

Lidl have all seeds down to 20p, so bought a couple of packets of Early Nantes carrots in a seed tape. 5 metres long and seems to have 3 seeds every inch or so. I’m hoping this avoids the need for much thinning to avoid attracting carrot fly. What are people experiences or tips for using this.

Thanks for the heads up Nobbie, I'll call in to Lidl tomorrow. I've never had much luck with carrots. The leaves always make it look like it's going to be a monster, but when it's pulled up there's not much root

Hi
     I have used pelleted seed for years from Moles Seeds  and never had any trouble .I have given them to friends who have grown them suscessfully as well .each pellet 1ins about .

Never had much luck with tape or carrots
The carrots grow fine, huge amount of foliage, but pull em up, a spindly thing at the end
I've thinned them out, jumped on the weeds as they start to sprout
I tried beetroot tape, cut it up into suitable lengths, never got anything from them
Now I just open a packet and scatter them, rake them in and let them get on with it
