Sowing
Sow seeds 5 mm deep directly in well-prepared soil. Germination takes 10–18 days. Thin seedlings to 5 cm spacing.
Light
Full sun, 6 hours daily minimum.
Watering
Keep soil consistently moist throughout the growing cycle to prevent splitting.
Soil
Deep, loose, sandy loam with pH 6.0–6.8. Remove rocks and break up compacted soil to 30 cm depth.
Feeding
Apply balanced fertiliser at sowing. Avoid excess nitrogen, which causes forked roots.
Harvesting
Pull roots when shoulders reach 2–3 cm wide. Lift gently with a fork to avoid breaking.
Best Uses
- Fresh carrot juice and smoothies
- Salads, sticks, and crudités

Common Problems and Solutions
- Forked roots: Remove rocks and loosen soil deeply before sowing.
- Cracking: Maintain consistent soil moisture.
