If you managed to harvest a good carrot crop, you still need to store it properly.
To get fruits in winter and spring that look like they were “just from the garden.”
Some summer residents face a problem when storing carrots. The roots either rot or dry out. It is difficult to save the harvest until next summer, but it is quite possible.
A popular method is used for this. Sand is poured onto the bottom of the box (a layer of about 2 cm) and carrots are placed on it, and then sprinkled with a second layer (about 1 cm).
Then these manipulations are repeated until the entire harvest is prepared for storage.
It is important to note that with this method, the root crops must not be allowed to touch each other. The sand must separate them well from each other.
Note
Not all varieties of carrots tolerate long-term storage well. Several varieties and hybrids can be distinguished for this purpose.
For example, Montana, Mango F1, Nantes 4, Incomparable, Chance, Moscow Winter, Samson, Typhoon and others.
