Growing Carrots

Question

Can you grow carrots in the same bed which had parsnips growing from last year’s crop? Can I use chicken manure pellets in the soil for the carrots?

Answer 1

Yes, as long as there were no issues with any pests or disease, then it should be fine to grow the carrots there. Chicken pellets are also fine for mixing into the soil. The only issue when using chicken manure is that it's high in nitrogen when fresh, but using aged, composted or pelletized manure is ok.
