WHERE TO SOW

Sow very thinly in drills 1.5cm (3/4”) deep with 25cm (9”) between rows.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

Carrot fly is attracted by thinning, so try to avoid thinning at all.   If plants are overcrowded, thin if necessary in the evening removing all debris from site. Pull alternate roots when small and use whole.

HANDY TIP

Early sowings can be made in a cold frame or under cloches. In mild areas, sow in October under cloches or frame for really early spring use.
