Another reason for soil moisture. Carrot grows long – 10-14 days. At this time it must be a sufficient amount of water, which happens in the spring after the snow melts. But the soil at that time too crude, so it is difficult to dig. If you plant the seeds for the winter, in the spring digging the soil is not required.

Frozen ground is hard to dig, and plant the seeds already settled in the garden, so prepare it in advance - in the month of October.
The bed must be a height of 15-20 cm Below it can not be done as the spring melt water will take away a large part of the seed and the harvest will be small. If you make it too high, then winter will be fatal to seed – some snow may fall because of the wind, and they will freeze and lose germination. Besides the summer on a very high ridge of little moisture, as it evaporates quickly in the sun.
The spring between the rows should be carefully podrujit the ground. Planted for winter carrots not only saves time in the spring, but also early to eat young sweet fruits.
