I was asked by a fellow plot-holder the other day: what sort of sand? and what sort of container?
I suggested that sharp sand might be better than builders' sand, as the latter retains moisture, which might not be a good idea. But - although I know it can be done - I've never been able to grow enough carrots at a time to try it!
So - anyone tried it? Any tips? And is it a good way to store carrots for the winter? Any ideas gratefully received and will be passed on.
And I might have a personal interest in the answer, as my carrot crop is one of the best ever and I'd rather not loose it to carrot fly!
