Carrots disappearing!!
« on: June 03, 2007, 23:58 »
I've sown some carrots in a bath (to hopefully protect from carrot fly) which had germinated, but now they keep disappearing! Last year i used no protection at all (for the carrots lol) and had excellent results - was my first year. I thought carrot fly did damage to the roots!  Any ideas why??
Try to be organic when possible!!

Slugs?  I had a whole 12x4' bed vanish due to the little barstewards - so have slug pelleted the lot and resown.  I figure there's no point having organic stumps ;-)

Mice/rats/rabbits/squirrels.

You may need to net them.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
