Another thinning question

[tumbling tom]

Decided to try some carrots in root trainers and joy of joys all have germinated.



My question is this though. I put 3/4 seeds in each trainer so I obviously need to thin them How is this best done as they are in modules? Do I just pull the extra plant out (will this not harm the root of the plant thats left?) or do I just cut the top the green foilage a pair of scissors down to the soil?

You can just nip through the stem with your nails


Or, what I do now is to let them all grow together, then pull the biggest one, eat it and let the others grow on

[tumbling tom]

So basically by cutting the extra stem(s) off it stops the extra carrots from growing underneath right?

if you take the leaves off, the plant dies (stops growing), yes
