Carrots grow well in both Terraseed Classic^TM and Terraseed Excel^TM, but the crop grows with a small part of the crown just above the surface of the seedmat. This encourages 'green-top' in a proportion of the crop. To overcome this we are trialing the removal of the seedmat after establishment and hoeing between rows to ridge up the crop. If successful we will also control root fly and weeds during the early stages.

Seeds are sown in pairs of rows 15cm apart at between 400 and 600 /m².
