Grow carrots like a pro! 🥕🥕🥕 Carrots are a great crop for home gardeners and farmers alike. They yield a lot of food for little work or space. However, they can be a little tricky to get the consistency you want.  I have found using a broadfork really helps the carrots reach deep into the soil. I designed the Finesse broadfork to be multifunctional and ergonomic. I will use it to smooth the bed and mark my rows. I will also use it to harvest when the carrots are ready. The loosened soil also means that the carrots come up much easier.  Another tip is to space the seeds appropriately. Planting in straight rows allows you to cultivate more easily and consistently. Equal spacing of carrots also help ensure a consistent size. I recommend one seed per inch in-row. That way you don’t have to go back and thin. I will use my Razor cultivator to regularly cultivate between the emerging carrots once a week for the first four weeks and after that, I have no weed issues.  Finally, water lightly everyday for a week to prevent a crust from on clayey soils which may restrict some of the emerging carrot seedlings.  #carrots #homegarden #organicfarm #homesteading #homestead #notill #organicgardening #urbanfarm #homegrown #localfood

Potting-up/ potting-on/bumping-up are phrases often used to describe moving cutting or seedling to a larger volume of soil as they grow.  This is important for two main reasons: 1) As you water a plant in a container, nutrients are used up by the plants and flushed out by the water. Giving the little plant a new refreshed batch of soil provides the additional  nutrients it needs.  2) When plants are held in a pot or container for too long, the roots may begin to circle around the bottom of the container. This can result in stunting and transplant shock. Root circling is less likely with soil blocks due to the air-pruning of roots, but it is still always best to allow more room for roots as they stretch out.  I love starting my tomatoes in the mini-blocks because it saves so much soil and valuable grow-light/greenhouse space in late winter/early spring. After two weeks and after true leaves have formed, I pot them on to the medium block. After three weeks, I pot them on to the large block. After three more weeks, and after plants are tall yet bushy, but before flowers form, they are transplants. 8 weeks total.  The nesting feature of soil blocks definitely makes potting-on easier and more clear as to when potting-on is necessary. Just look at the roots on the edges of the blocks.
