Could you tell me please.What is the best mix of soil for carrots ? I am haveing trouble with them not growing down it is like the soil is to hard .I end up with bent carrots. I have nice garden beds to work with but no luck . I am thinking maybe soil not draining. Or to much water they get 25 min every day by water system If you can help thank you. I am 72 and email help is better for me Regards John Mackney
