  • compost mix for exhibition carrots

    For Shen

    2 buckets peat
    1 bucket sand
    3 ozs Superphosphate
    3 ozs Sulphate of potash
    2 ozs calcified seaweed
    2 ozs epsom salts or kersarite
    2 ozs lime

    I personally don't use tubes. Too difficult to keep moist. I use barrels of sand with 5 holes bored per barrel and filled with compost and well firmed in.

      Wish I had thought of that when mixing peat,mpc & sharp sand for my parsnip barrels (in a concrete mixer,to the amusement of Mrs.BB) rather than filling the barrels with mix
