Small Carrot/Radish Box.
Hi,
I'm thinking about building a small raised garden area about (2' W x 3' L x
12" D) just for carrots and radishes within my larger garden. I get a good
crop of carrots/radishes every year but they are tuff to extract from the
sandy soil. If I fill up the bottom-less box with some good soil mixture
then the carrots should be easier to pick and may grow better. Anyone see a
problem with this? With such a small box will it dry out to quickly? Will
I get pencil-like carrots if the soil if too loose? I may make it larger
and plant my onions in it too. Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Jim
