PLANTING INSTRUCTIONSCarrot seeds should be planted 0.4 inches deep into the soil. This 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 REQUIREMENTSPESTS & DISEASESPests: Willow Carrot Aphid, Carrot Rust Fly, Carrot Weevil, Flea Beetle, Root-Knot Nematodes.

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.SOILSandy, well-drained loamy soil. Clear trash, rocks, and large pieces of tree bark from the soil. Maintain the pH level of the soil at 6
