Cultivation

Carrots need a good quality, well worked-over, friable (lightly textured) soil to produce a long, straight taproot.  Carrots grown in clay and compacted soils will be stumpy and have multiple forks.  Avoid feeding your Carrot plants too much fertiliser as this can also encourage forking.  Try to remove any small rocks from the soil too as they'll cause forking if the carrot root grows into them.  Carrots can be grown in full sun or in a location that receives light shade for part of the day.
