I place a small white garbage bag into a 20 litre (5 gal) bucket. Place a thin layer of peat moss, layer of carrots , a layer of peat, a layer of carrots, etc. The tops are cut of below the green or they will start to grow. You simply have to cut of an eighth of an inch off when cleaning them. The top layer is peat. Pull the bag closed but leave a hole in the centre about the size of your fist or they will rot. Check them once in a while and when the soil is starting to dry, dampen the top with a spray bottle of water. My carrots last from September (I live in a cold climate, Northern Ontario) until March or April. I put away 6 buckets and never do I have to buy carrots. I found this method years ago on TH-cam from a gardener in Alaska. Thank you for your tips, channels like yours are wonderful to watch.
@@skp4048 awesome tips!! Love to hear from fellow Canadians and always loving new tips for northern growing/preserving! Though I don't know our weather here in Newfoundland is shockingly warm this fall so idk if I should continue to call myself a northern gardener😂
Great info, Jen! Love it.
thanks!
