Manfred says... Gnarly and nematody are two different things. There may well be nematodes, and nematodes feeding on nematodes, but to affect the root you will need to be able to see soft rotten bits where the culprit nematodes are feeding. A root won't "heal" after a feeding attack. Have a look with a magnifying glass- you often don't need a microscope to see nematodes- just for interest. Remember, lots of nematodes are harmless and some are benign. But grown in organic matter, carrots will surely be gnarly. The nematodes are innocent! | About the Author Manfred tully 18th April 2016 7:01pm #UserID: 9565 Posts: 243 View All Manfred's Edible Fruit Trees |
Markmelb says... Potting mix not good for carrots - too chunky - they grow best in fine loam soils - (with no rocks or clay chunks)- get a metal stake and make a cone in your soil and put in a mix of fine compost and loam with some sheep manure for ferts - put a couple seeds on top - I did this for oyster veg and had the best straight roots ever and tasted pretty good also. | About the Author Markmelb MOUNT WAVERLEY,3149,VIC 18th April 2016 9:00pm #UserID: 7785 Posts: 1192 View All Markmelb's Edible Fruit Trees |
