Reply To: Optimum spacing for main crop Carrots

[Don Foley]

Hi Pete,
I’m not familiar with Elliot Coleman but I have seen spacings as low as 1″ quoted but I want reasonable sized roots.
This particular bed had Peas in it up to last September so should have plenty of Nitrogen. Notwithstanding that I added a 2″ layer of well decomposed Garden Compost on top and have had the bed covered with plastic since October so it should be reasonably fertile.

Don.
