For some, the carrot harvest is already on the way, while others will have to wait a little..
Therefore, it is worth refreshing the information on the rules for harvesting carrots..
What points should you remember?
Preparatory stage
First of all, carry out the final weeding: try to remove all the weeds. This will significantly facilitate the process of digging up the carrot harvest.
Choosing a method
If you have light soil with a good texture, then you just need to carefully pull out the carrots. But denser soils require a different approach.
In this case, a pitchfork will be a relevant choice.
Top
It is worth removing the tops immediately after harvesting: if you do not do this, the carrots may become too ‘sluggish’. Therefore, with a knife or pruning shears, we remove almost all the tops, leaving only a couple of centimeters.
Drying
After this, you need to lay the carrots on the ground and wait a few hours. You should be careful: you just need to shake off the soil slightly.
After this, we remove excess soil and send the carrot harvest for permanent storage.
