I have grown the best carrots in the history of mankind  in clay soil so thick that I had to originally use a pickax to break it up. Fall planting(August in zone 7),organic matter, bone meal, water daily, straw to hold moisture, weed religiously,thin mercillously, eat continuously from October to March.   Love the group,John

Presumably. I've used various fertilizers too, but never
found anything that worked well on carrots.

I think they just don't like me. And at this point, I'm not
terribly fond of them either! Uncooperative things!

They are the only vegetable on which I've given up.
