Advice from La Semence Bio® : in order to limit the development of weeds, we advise you to carry out a false sowing (preparation of your beds, watering, lifting of the weeds present in your soil) then to practice a thermal burning or by hoeing. As carrots have few leaves, their growing cycle is long.
