Carrot seed query

[neathlat]

With carrot seed being so small, does anyone know of a way to plant them thinly, thereby eliminiting the need for thining at a later stage?

You can mix this seed in with sand and sow that but you need to make sure that you have enough as not all will germinate and you'll lose some to slus and snails

A couple of things you can try... works beeter for some than others as I've discovered. If you don't have to have nice, tidy rows, then mix the seeds with about two double handfusl of snad. Prepare a seeding site about 2 or 3 feet square. Sow the seeds by broadcasting the sand/seed mixture and rake in to assure covering the seeds (until you no longer see the sand).

Or... a friend showed me how to use an eye dropper with the rubber bulb at one end (out of a child's liquid aspirin bottle). Simply place the seeds in a small pile in the center of your palm and "suck up" the seeds into the vial. Then simply learn how much squeezing it takes to expel one seed. It works pretty good but you have to find an eye dropper with the right sized hole in the end...

Good luck!
