Carrot spacing?!

[Battlefield Machinery]

Hi, can anyone help me with the approx seed spacing for commercial grown carrots on beds? 6 rows in a 1.6 m bed?!

Thanks, Richard

Surely depends on your intended market. Workd of difference between carrots set for early pulling and bunching compared to over winter.
I would speak to seed supplier, and fieldsman .

As above really.... IIRC we used to sow 30 seeds per foot ( triple line coulters ), 3 rows in a 60" bed.

I'm hoping to try my hand at a small plot of carrots, not the easiest thing to grow!

Never had any joy growing carrots commercially until I started using a sweat cover for germination.
