Growing carrots .. several questions.

[Samalmarr]

I have never grown my own vegtables before as im only 18 but i know about alot of things like soil acidity, bug protection enviromesh, horse manure and even yeilds.

I can easily buy seeds and plant them and eat them no problem. I have a few questions though about growing carrots.

I could easily eat 5kg of raw vegtables per day as im am like 17 stone and 6 ft 1 tall. So storing is no issue lol.

1. How far do i sow the seeds apart from each other?
2. Should i use enviromesh first time or wait to see if carrott flys are even a issue?
3. What is the best variety to grow this month and when do i take them out i heard 3-4 months?

Thanks alot
Add me to freinds
