Sounds like a complicated carrot conundrum! I started growing in pots recently but grow Mini round ones, and often with Long radish.
Both french.
Tony, did you fill the entire bed with sand from bottom to top? also at the end of the season do you just remove the compost you put in each of the hole to keep the continuity of the sand bed? Is the sand you used basic construction sand such as for laying bricks? living in the USA it was discovered that play sand for children's' sand boxes had high levels of heavy metals Thank you, I enjoyed your informative video. Cheers
I'm having problems with the sand slipping straight back out of my hole drilling tube. Strangely, this is only happening on one side of the sand box. On the other side the tube is pulling the sand out perfectly. Any suggestions on how to fix this, please? I'm assuming it is something to do with moisture or the compaction of the sharp sand ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Very informative, he has a few cunning plans, excellent presentation thanks.
Hi Tony. This is my first visit to your channel. Great info. Could you let us know which carrot names you grow. I love those short, fat, sweet, type.
Thanks Tony as always very helpful
What do you do with the raised sand bed the next season? What vegetables can you plant in the bed?
Hi. I live in North Queensland Australia. What is sharp sand?
Sounds great, just subbed. ๐
How reusable is the first bed? Would work well with juicing carrots
Hi Tony. Loving your channel. Method 1, I was wondering what you do year 2, do you have to remove the compost ? and if so .. do you use the same pipe again to remove it. Question is open to anyone.
Dude ๐ unless your growing carrots for show then this is far too much work!!! But your right you blew my mindโฆ it blows my mind that anyone would put this much work into carrots!!!
Wow, those carrots you're holding there at the end of the video are huge! What variety of carrots are those? Just beautiful ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ!
Question should I earth up carrots like potatoes? Is the green shoulder poisonous?
Ive only successfully grown carrots once (apart from this years batch)
This what happens when people have to much money thereโs much better channels
Thatโs cost NOTHING!!!!!!
Can you use the sharp sand method in containers?
๐จ๏ธ๐ฅ
Iโve gotta say, Iโve grown some massive carrots in my raised bed using about a 25/25/25/25% mix of topsoil, Pete moss, sand and compost. Fertilizing almost every week with a liquid fish fertlizer
Brussel sprouts are SATANS VEGETABLES and people who grow them should be harshly punished
๐ฅ๐
This is great advice on carrots. So if you do the sand beds method. When youโve harvested the carrots from each compost core do you then replenish the core each year. How is this done? Just top up the cores or redo them each yr? Ps thanks for code for the 30l tubs mine came yesterday ๐๐ป
Best video about growing carrots I've seen yet in over 4 years of watching youtube on how to grow carrots. ๐๐ฏ
You are 1 very clever man…. Thank you for you info .

I've used the 2nd method in Tanks mounted on breeze blocks, interested in the 1st method after the 1st year how do you core for subsequent years do you follow the track of the original core ?
This bloke is one of the best YouTube Gardening Tutors ever. Respect. ๐
Thanks Tony, I've been growing mine in oakland gardens 30 ltr pots standing on either concrete blocks or timber rings for the last three years, it has served us very well indeed. I made my own compost, sieved it and added sharp sand. After three years i will have to amen the compost a bit but im planning on getting some more oakland gardens pots now anyway using your SIMPLIFY30 code.
Sorry to bother you withi technical question, but if i may. I sowed 12 rhubarb seeds champagne, glaskins perpetual, and victoria, four of each so that i can pick the best plants when the ground is available in one or two years time. The question is i planted them in april moving them to10ltr pots when ready, no i need to re-plant them into a homemade compost and horse manure mix but i need them to stay happy for a year or two. What size pots would you recommend? I have some 30ltr my spuds have come out of, but seeming as I'm ordering more pots would you recommend a 50ltr or 65 ltr instead? Many thanks my freind ๐
๐๐๐๐๐
i know what sharp sand is but the landscape suppliers around here dont. pathetic
raised bed method #1 for such a cheap veg, probably not worth it
