Compare yields and choose the best varieties
Now you can take into account their needs for carrots. It is clear that not every year and not all soils will have the maximum yield. It is necessary to consider it in half of the specified.
Calculate your needs
You need to answer a few questions:
- How many carrots do the family need to bookmark for the winter, taking into account the losses?
- How much will it take to prepare juices, salads, pastes?
- How much will be eaten in the summer?
- How much should be left on the balcony or cold pantry for autumn consumption?
After we counted everything for ourselves, it turned out that our need is 100 kilograms per year. If shantene will give 4 kilograms per square meter, then you need to plant carrots on 25 square meters of the garden.
And how many beds in your garden to take carrots?
