Growing tips

Against carrot fly infestation, possibly cover with a special cultivation net (especially from the beginning of May). It often helps if the carrots are sown downwind so that the flies do not find a protected place to lay their eggs. Separation may be necessary. Even watering/moisture is important for germination and against bursting. Do not sow on freshly fertilized soil. Do not use manure. Keep weed free. If growth is hand-high, some topdressing can be done.
