At least two feet clear of ground level you want.

Thanks for the tips..

How about growing them inside a barrel? how high can these blighters get?

cheers

To give you an idea.  Up until this year I grew carrots very successfully in dustbins.
I planted in a spiral,and pick the outside ones first.This lets the sun get to the inner ones and helps when picking over a period of time.

Next year I will be constucting a large raised bed because I now have some space.
