Carrots need well-drained, well-cultivated soil. Add a couple inches of compost or well-rotted manure, and a light application of general-purpose fertilizer before planting.
Carrots are packaged in crates, fruit crates, trays, sacks, plastic bags or nets. The content of the individual packages varies, depending on type, from 500 g (bags) to 10 kg (boxes).
Loosen soil around the carrot with a spade or trowel before pulling up from the greens, this will help avoid breaking the greens off from the carrot roots.
Wash carrots as soon as possible after harvesting to remove soil particles and plant debris, and to reduce field heat. It also prevents infection of carrot by bacterial soft rot, it is recommended to wash the carrot with 0.2 % chlorinated water.
