Feeding Carrots

Question:
If you don't add manure or compost, what can I add to feed carrots?
Answer:
Carrots don't need to be fed to produce a good crop. If manure or other feed is added to the soil it tends to cause the carrots to "fork". If you are planting in containers just use a good quality compost and they should be fine. If you are planting in the ground they should be able to find enough nutrients from the soil.
