compost mix for exhibition carrots

[Aberdeenplotter]

For Shen

2 buckets peat
1 bucket sand
3 ozs Superphosphate
3 ozs Sulphate of potash
2 ozs calcified seaweed
2 ozs epsom salts or kersarite
2 ozs lime

I personally don't use tubes. Too difficult to keep moist. I use barrels of sand with 5 holes bored per barrel and filled with compost and well firmed in.

Thanks AP - I'll get more advice from you nearer the time

I use barrels of sand with 5 holes bored per barrel and filled with compost and well firmed in.

Wish I had thought of that when mixing peat,mpc & sharp sand for my parsnip barrels (in a concrete mixer,to the amusement of Mrs.BB) rather than filling the barrels with mix
