Thank you, this trick actually works for so many other plants and avoids transplant shock. You just have to space them appropriately when seeding in the carton.

I love carrots and am so excited about trying this approach for the first time this year. Spring and gardening time can't get here soon enough for me to grow 3-4 different varieties of egg-tray carrots! 🥕🌄🥕

No thinning means you don't attract pests that can destroy your carrot crop. Starting early lets you plant carrot trays as a catch crop. With little soil exposed, there is virtually no weeding. Using this method along with drip irrigation makes carrots extremely low maintenance. Its not needed, but it helps maximize efficiency. Love it!

I have never had luck with carrots but I'm going to try this right now! Thanks.

After reading some of the negative comments. I think this guy is into something. I'm going to try this in my raised beds with square foot planting. I live in a semi- arid temperate continental climate zone. This will solve many of my issues with dessication.

That’s genius! I struggled planting carrots and I’ve been trying every year. I am going to try this method and see if this works for me. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤

Oh, this is the first time I've seen how to grow carrots like this. We usually sow the seeds directly into the ground and have to prune them a lot when they grow into seedlings. With this method, you've saved nearly half of the seeds you used to sow the old way, which is amazing!

This is pretty smart, and you could transfer the egg carts to whatever bed works for you , and in many places that would be a raised bed. I'm starting to really like the channel.

Oh, that's clever. That would be nice for succession seeding, too. And it would make planting parsnips so much easier, since they take forever to sprout.

Thats the best idea ive seen in a long time, going to try this year 😊 😊

This also works well with staggering your planting. plant two trays, then a week later plant two more, then another two and so on.

Thanks for the wonderful tip!

This is soooo amazing. You a my HERO. Thank you for such a magnificent idea. You are a great teacher!!! 🙌🙌💯

I skipped the first part, just put soil in my egg cartons, couple seeds in each space with very slight dirt on top, pressed firm. Then to a shallow plastic container big enough for the carton to fit. some water in the plastic container with plastic wrap as you did it. Carton absorbs the water, keep it moist till the seeds sprout. April 4th, carrots will have to wait to go out, 5 inches of snow today. Thanks for the video.

Hi Great. I just suggest the following when poking holes to pant the seeds, it is much simpler to just put another carton on top and push it down slightly, all the holes will be the same depth and in the centre of the planting carton.

I’ve read that carrots that are replanted curl while growing. It seems here that that’s only if they are transferred later than those tiny sprouts. I’ve actually loved them when they’re curly. Great method! Thanks for your ingenuity and generosity!

That's a very interesting method. The egg trays really serve a dual purpose as both planting tray and mulch/weed barrier all in one. Thanks for making the video! The spacing is very similar to what you use with the Square Foot Gardening method. The close spacing alone does a lot to prevent weeds but you've added the additional benefit of a weed barrier. The question that came to my mind is where do you find that type of egg tray? That many trays would be a 10 year supply of eggs for most of us! 😀

I then drop a seed into each hole and cover them with soil. I used to lay a piece of peg board on the ground and use a small dowel to poke each hole and then drop the seed but this gives you the same result and is much faster. If you want them further apart use every second hole. IE for beets.
