Trick for Starting Carrots

I found this on the internet and will try it this spring. The other 2 tricks that I have used are to mix in some radish seeds because they sprout sooner and help to loosen the soil surface. The other trick is to add some sand to the soil covering the carrot seeds; this also makes it easier for the seeds to break through. http://www.attainable-sustainable.net/growing-carrots/
