Irregular germination of carrots.
« on: June 19, 2016, 19:52 »
I can understand how you get "uneven" germination of carrots,  but from a three foot strip of carrots 18" have geminated and the other "18" have not.  This is not intermittant but all or nothing.  Now why?

Cheers,  Tony.
I may be growing OLD, but I refuse to grow UP !

My guess is slugs.  Same thing here.  They seem to work their way down a row, until presumably they are full.  When I looked closely I could see the missing ones had been chewed off at soil level.  Re-sowed, with a liberal sprinkling of the blue pellets of death (under enviromesh so birds can't get them).   Lo and behold lots of carrots sprouting up and lots of dead slugs.
