Just a spare bit of polythene with some holes on the bottom.
Cheese makes everything better.

Never feed carrots.Once they have germinated leave them to their own devices.The tap root is in search of moisture.
Last year I grew a carrot in a drainpipe and it reached 47 3/4 inches.The drainpipe was 4 ft high and all I did was water the base of it. The root went searching for the moisture.
Incidentally I won the longest carrot red card at our local show :)
