PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS Carrot seeds should be planted 0.4 inches deep into the soil. This ensures that the seeds start germinating within 2-3 weeks. Make sure that each seed is planted at least 6 inches apart from each other. Thin the plants to about 3 inches apart once the seedlings have grown a few leaves. Your carrot plants should get at least 3-4 hours of sunlight in a day. Maintain a moderate watering schedule for carrots. Let the top 1cm of the soil layer dry up before watering again. GROWING REQUIREMENTS PESTS & DISEASES Pests: Willow Carrot Aphid, Carrot Rust Fly, Carrot Weevil, Flea Beetle, Root-Knot Nematodes.

Watering the plants in the morning helps to avoid fungal diseases. Companion plants significantly reduce incoming pests on your crops. Watering down the plants with a strong stream of water followed by an application of diluted neem or castor oil on the pest-affected parts of the plant will help to get rid of them.
