Our secret carrot soil mix for planting and growing carrots in raised beds and containers. The problems is, we have no secrets when it comes to gardening. Your success is our success. Today we'll cover our growing medium and the soil additives we use in our raised bed garden. Garden boxes and containers give gardeners more control over the soil and we take advantage of that. We also use pelleted seeds to ensure good seed to soil contact which improves our germination rate. We'll show you how to space your carrots and the correct planting depth. We also want to discuss the positive effects of phosphorus, calcium and magnesium on root crops as well as the down side of nitrogen in the soil.
Items used in this soil mix include: Potting soil, bone meal, Epsom salt, and composted chicken or cow manure.

@BumbleBeeJunction
@BumbleBeeJunction 6 лет назад
I think that folks who have gardened for a while just do things from instinct with good success... The problem may have come in changes in the soil itself... And in that, it is really beneficial to continually be working with that soil... Those are cheaply built 8 year old boxes that probably need rebuilt (or they will soon) but the soil in them is priceless... I think you will find your will richen and mature as well... Good luck ! Please do share your results !

@catalystcody4949
@catalystcody4949 4 года назад
Vermiculite is not quite the same. Yes it makes a soil more airy but at the end of the day it’s a clay, absorbs water while perlite does not( had 50 lb bags of both get rained on, your not moving vermiculite easily) & it will loose texture in the long run. Not what you want if you want soils to dry out between waterings say for cacti.

They were food storage grade 50 gallon drums that we cut in half to make use of the space between the beds...

The soil needs some work so I may let them stand till fall and work on them when it cools off.... Thanks so much for watching !

I poured all of that into the bottom of a 4x4 foot bed that was 1 foot tall. I then added a 1 inch layer of potting mix on top and planted the seeds into that. I followed all of their soil amendments as mentioned in the video as well.

We have not done them yet, but we plan to... We have been working to improve... First we had to get away from the old slideshow videos we made and get on camera... Now that we are, we will be taking a look at almost everything we grow in more depth as the seasons come and go... Hope you will stay tuned !

How do you fill the carrot beds to start? The same layering system?
@BumbleBeeJunction
@BumbleBeeJunction 6 лет назад
I cheap way to start is to fill them to about 6" from the top with straw, and then dump (rinse) peat moss down through it as filler... Then in the last 6 inches, focus more on the amendments in the proportions here... Thanks for watching ! Hope that helps !

Bumble Bee Junction starting to gather supplies for spring and raised beds. Question: So do we do the fall layering after straw/peat moss and the spring amendments for our 1st ever bed. It just seems to make sense that way. Then follow by fall layering? Lol...this is HUGE for us to get it right.

Most of the time, that is what we do also... But the idea of this video was to do it from things our viewers could find at the big box stores and still have some success... And many of the additives were organic anyway...

Cardboard (weed suppression).... Hardware cloth (critter suppression)... Straw or Hay (cheap filler)... I think after that, I would load the bed with loose peat moss, and amend it from there... But peat is bulky and will get you filled up to where you can work with it...

@@BumbleBeeJunction does sand mix work with carrots?
@BumbleBeeJunction
@BumbleBeeJunction 5 лет назад
Cherrie... I am not a big fan of sand and carrots, but that is just me... If you've seen our harvest videos, obviously we can grow them without it... Many times, it becomes too dense for the carrots to grow long... If you are adding it to loosen up clay, then I would suggest gypsum instead...
@cherriemckinstry131
@cherriemckinstry131 5 лет назад
@@BumbleBeeJunction Another reason I ask is that peat moss can get very expensive and half a bag goes for what a full bag went for a few years ago. The good thing is that it's acidic and therefore some pests do not like to get neat it. Oak leaves and pine needles are also acidic and cam be gathered locally. I used to live near a peat bog so it was a little more affordable, but still is more money than resourcing pine needles or oak leaves and shred them up.
