## How to grow carrots in soft drink bottles

in #farm6 years ago

This technique is ideal for those with little space to cultivate or those who want to venture into gardening and best of all is that by reusing 2 liter soft drink bottles we are contributing to the protection of the environment, the result will be beautiful and healthy carrots without any chemicals and contaminants.

The first step will be to adapt the bottle to our requirements so we will take the bottle and cut the peak or neck, once this is done we will make some holes in the bottom of the bottle which will serve as a drain for the remaining water and finally we will cover the bottle so that the rays of the sun do not give in the roots and the plant can develop properly.
The next step will be to fill the bottle with a loose substrate and with organic matter to fertilize, after doing this we will plant 2 or 3 seeds around 1 centimeter of the surface.

It is important to know that carrots need a lot of sun and a temperature between 10 and 18 degrees Celsius, can support up to a maximum of 28 degrees Celsius, it is important to remember that when watering the land should not be swampy but rather wet.

It is highly recommended to plant a rosemary plant near our carrots, the aroma of this plant will keep away the pests that usually affect it as the carrot fly.

Finally in 2 or 3 months from the plantation we must be able to harvest our carrots.
