Re: A question on carrots

My books told me specifically NOT to add nitrogen to the bed that root
veggies were going to be planted in, that it causes forking and
knotting. Knots can also be caused by root nematodes. Root veggies do
benefit from an addition of potash, however. I don't know the secret of
"sweet" carrots--some of mine taste soapy, some taste sweet--but I also
planted three different varieties and have no idea which is which (note
to myself for next year---LABEL!) If anybody knows what the deal is with
soapy tasting carrots, enlighten me!
