Growing Carrots

Any particular recommendations please?
Types - growing - protection from root-fly etc.
Because we are on a heavy clay/silt soil with stones we grow our carrots in
an old water tank using bought compost mixed with sand. Works well, we are
still cropping and only minor fly damage even this late probably because
they don't like flying up so high to get in the tank. Of course we could
just cover the tank with enviromesh and stop it completely, don't know why
we don't actually except we did try that on another plot and got bad
germination.
