We have been unable to grow carrots on our heavy clay soil but this
year we have prepared a special bed and hopefully they will grow.

When we lived in the City, we had a problem with carrot fly, is there
a chemical product we can buy to control this or is there a proven
method that works without the use of chemicals?

My neighbour gets a paintbrush and splashes (sprints?)* paraffin along
the rows when he thins them out. He is about 75 so it can't be deadly,
he's been doing it for years.

* What do you call it when you flick the bristles of a brush?

'Spritz'?

I thought that was some sort of soft drink!
