Growing and Fertilizing Carrots With Organic worm Castings and VermaPlex®

  • Carrots do well in most soils, although some varieties are better suited for loose soils.  If you have clayey soils, choose carrot varieties such as Thumbelina.
  • Care should be taken to prevent the small carrot seeds from being flushed away until germination.
  • Thinning the seedlings encourages bigger carrots.

  4. Apply VermaPlex® at a rate of 40:1 when root enlargement occurs.
