Growing tips

Against carrot fly helps mounding, mixed culture with leeks, cultivation under netting and avoiding areas with fresh organic fertilizers. Carrots take rather long to germinate and must be kept moist during this period. Later singling is usually necessary for the formation of large beets. Do not grow umbellifers on the same area more often than every 4 years.
