Growing Carrots from seeds:

Don't worry if you doesn't have carrot seeds. We teach you how to grow carrots with stem at the ending. 

1. Carrot seeds should be planted around 1cm deep in the soil. (You may use carrot sapplings available in the market)

2. Keep 10-15 cm distance if you are sowing multiple seeds.

3. They start germinating in 2 weeks.

4. These needs 3 - 4 hours sun light in a day. Make sure sunlight is available to your plants. 

5. Shift the carrots plants from your pot to your garden when they are 1- 2 weeks old. (Not a problem if they are grown in pot).

Which type of soil is required to grow carrots?

Sandy soil, well drained loamy soil is suitable for growing carrots. 

How much time do carrots take to grow completely?

Carrots takes around 2 - 3 months time to grow completely. 

How watering is done for carrots?

Moderate watering is really good to grow carrots. 

Make sure that your water must make soil soak well. 

Fertilizers for your garden 

Really Fertilizers are needed to grow any plants perfectly and healthily. But using chemical Fertilizers may cause soil damage.  I request all of you to use cow dung, vermi compost, neem leaves powder etc. 

 

You can make your own fertilizer at home

Don't throw away your kitchen wastes like vegetable peels, spoiled items, fruit peels etc in dust bin. Collect them and keep them in a bucket.  When the bucket is filled up then 👉 just cover the items with one cotton or jute cloth and close the lid. Atleast once in 3 days pour some to the bucket. Water helps bacteria to grow on spoiled items. Bacteria decompose them totally by 21 days. 

We in my home make own fertilizer for our garden. And also it is a nature friendly activity.
