Growing Carrots in Home Gardens
... Because carrots are a root crop, they grow best in soils that are well-drained, high in organic matter, and free of rocks. They are difficult to grow successfully in clay or rocky soils. Carrots prefer slightly acidic soil (pH 6 to 7), but will tolerate slightly alkaline soil (pH of 7 to 8). A soil ...
