Carrots prefer a deep, rich well drained soil which does not contain fresh manure or compost. Sow in drills.
As soon as the seedlings are large enough to handle, start thinning them out so that they are finally 10cm (4in) apart.
The last thinnings should provide tender roots just large enough to be used. Harvest late summer and autumn. The roots can be lifted and stored between layers of peat or sand in a frost-free place for winter use.
