Carrot and other tiny seeds can be difficult to sow with adequate spacing and depth, especially if you can’t see them in the soi! Pelleted seeds are seeds that are coated in clay for easier handling. This video has some tips and techniques for planting carrots, including using pelleted seeds, amending the soil appropriately, sowing thickness, and making a homemade seed tape. Seed tape is a great idea to make using some toilet paper and water - and an optional glue made from one part flour and one part water. Seed tapes can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container until it is time to plant. Make sure to plant carrots in aerated, fluffy soil!! Carrots can also be succession planted, with the last planting done in time to allow full grown carrots to be mulched for winter. The cold soil will make carrots sweeter!!
