  • Carrots - one went wonky

    Pulled a few carrots that have been grown in a 50/50 mix of MPC and coffee grinds. They are resistafly f1, they seem to have done well with the exception of one.

    Any ideas why?

    It met an immovable object and had to go around it?

      Totally agree. Just wish I could grow carrots as nice looking as those.

        That would have been my guess, but... brand new raised bed with all MPC and coffee put through a riddle ( lost over 3/4 of a bag of MPC in bits to big/solid to riddle ). Checked the location of carrot and absolutely nothing there, which is whats confused me. No feed added either.

            Aaarrrggghhh! My carrot flies can get 4 feet high, get through or under net and don't know they're supposed to not like resistafly. That's if my seeds germinate to begin with.

              The best carrots are the wonky ones - always make you smile.
              Normal carrots are boring, who laughs at a straight carrot?

                I stacked 2 pallet collars, then dug down 6” to remove the existing soil before filling in with 12” of the MPC/coffee mix. Covered with glass until 2” of growth, and then left em to it.

                The chantenay in a bag were a disaster

                  Still a while away up here from lifting any, but the tops look very luxuriant, I get the odd wonky ones and they are in stone free raised beds too.
