Pelletized Seed

[Pharmer Phil]

We almost NEVER have a day here come spring planting time, that we don't have 25-30 mph. winds (being conservative here)
So last year we tried pelleted carrot seed

Almost 100% germination failure

we replanted with standard seed, and they all came up...
Same soil, same process, the pelleted seed info I can find preaches FRESH seed, which they were and steady/even watering

This seed order...we somehow chose another packet of pelletized carrot seed, in with the other carrots...

Any Info on, or what we may have done wrong last year?

Yes it is, makes growing anything Tall, very tough.

The average wind speed here in April is 19.9 mph...and when you're sitting out here on flat land...

Some  time  times  weather  will  kill  a planting            They  are  so  little          Hard  for  them  tp  break though       Seed  tapes?        Doubt  would  help  in  wind

actually seed tapes would work, the cost though is restrictive. we plant hundreds of row foot of carrots, and those tapes are around 14 dollars for 15 foot of tape..

If we were more motivated in the winter....we would make our own seed tape shke

Make  your  seed  taps         I  have  read  several  ways  to  make      I  have  seen  hypo  ty[r  needle  looking  seeder  for  mall  seeds   but  rather  that would  work    there are small hand  seeder           Costs
