has anyone grown carrots or parsnips n barrels or containers with success? i watched the big dig on sky all about allotments and was surprised to see that they were having success in growing root veg this way apparantly carrot flies will only affect carrots low to the ground so if they are raised up they are not affected also no stones etc in compost means perfectly formed veg,, is this as simple as it sounds?

hello fellow growers, this is a first for us, we have just acquired our first allotment, we have now cleared all the rubbish off, have had the whole plot rotavated, (it looks much bigger now its been cleared!) done lots of digging and barrowing and a bit of planting (hey, things have actually started growing!!) lots of seedlings at home just waiting to be planted in the wide open space will probably be logging onto this site for advice fairly often. looking forward to tasting some lovely fresh...
