Tried to search but computer says no.

Container grown carrots. 
I think I am resigned to the fact that my new allotment will be too stony, clayey and heavy for carrots until it has had loads of manure from previous crops in.  Hence in a couple of years.  So I have bought some plastic containers to grow them in instead.  Would it be ok if I used last years compost from the growbags that I grew runner beans and tomatoes in, and just put a bit of growmore in with it?  Trying to do it as cheap as possible but if I need to buy special container compost then I will, determined to have carrots this year.  What have you put in these containers to great effect?

Thank you.

You might find some useful info in here. You'll need to cover them as well - carrot fly can get anywhere, so I'm told!
