Carrots a success this year!

My carrots are a great success this year.  I built a platform 30 inches high and stood tubs and pots on it filled with a mixture of sieved soil,  sieved dry chicken manure,  old potting compost, sieved garden compost and sand.  I added a fist of blood, fish and bone to each container and sowed my carrots.  As soon as they came up (I made sure to keep them watered),  I thinned them to about 3 inches apart.  Result: tubs, buckets and pots full of beautiful, big, clean carrots!   No carrot fly or any other ailment.  Here's two I just pulled for today's boiled beef:

Very nice Sean. I have also a good crop of Carrots. I have raised beds for Carrots and Parsnips and since using these no root fly. Mind you, the beds are raised quite a bit. I am hoping the Parsnips are just as good. The tops look great.
