Well i had spectacular success growing carrots in a glass fibre bath filled with multipurpose. And believe me, it takes a LOT of multipurpose compost to fill a bath. Loads of carrots, big , chunky and no diseases or pests.
So the question is, how much of the compost do i have to get rid of to replant the bath with more carrots ? OR could i switch to a second bath and grow something else in the first bath, then alternate every year.
What goes well in compost carrots have been in ?
Unless you have any evidence of carrot fly keep growing them in the bath... they like poorish soil... :)

It was spectacularly successful, i made a tent top out of debris netting. Nothing got to the carrots. I might scrape off the top nine inces and renew that with plain multipurpose and no added ferts, if they like rubbish to grow in :D
They will grow in virtually pure sand... :)

I'm going to grow my carrots in the part of the lotty I did two years ago because the ground there is very light I hope this is not to early to grow there again, :)
