Nutrients are important for anything you grow.
Pulled the last of the carrots this week ahead of the cold.
Pulled 15 lbs from a couple square feet. More carrot than soil.

These were grown in peat and commercial compost(chicken litter and forest waste).
Spacing?

Oh and I will add this video of the guy who has mastered carrot growing, I just wonder if those carrots taste different than if grown in a richer soil?

I will probably try at least one mostly sand container just to see for myself plus it would be cheaper than buying dirt.
