  • What soil mix for an unused water tank ? - carrots

    Hi everyone, at the moment the tank is full of clay soil from last year.

    I want the best possible and most nutrient dense mix for some carrots. Just ordered the seeds they are coming in the post.

    Can I get away with using the existing clay soil ?

    Your ideas and feedback is as always welcome.

    nairobi f1 is the variety.

    Carrots like a light, sandy soil. Not sure that clay is the best option!

      That's not really of much use regarding soil mixes. I read it already

        Sieved soil with sand mixed in. You don't want any obstructions (small stones) as the Carrots will fork, likewise avoid using manure.
