This might be really silly question.....
I have aquired a bath today which I thought I could grow carrots in (it's going to take years to get enough stones out of the garden to be able to plant them in the ground!), so, in my books it says that rows of carrots should be 15 cms apart, which leaves me with two (potentially very blond!) questions:
1. Do I have to leave a 15cm gap from the edge of the bath to the first row of carrots or just that space between the actual plants?
2. A while back on the Big Dig on UKTV Gardens a lady was planting carrots in what looked like an old water barrel, she had sown them in decreasing circles and unless TV had really distorted how the space available, there was no way there was 15cm between the circles - so does this mean that amount of space is not realy necessary?
Also, if anyone happens to know how many litres of compost it takes to fill a bath do let me know!
Thank you!
