I will try to sow carrots with the ground hoping to have a minimum of grass!

Hope does not help much in this area, but you can use the understanding of natural phenomena to get around the problem.
There are two different tactics: false seeding and thermal weeding.

I return to the discussion of carrot seedlings.

I tried the technique of D. Soltner: the seeding on sterile soil (without weed seeds, because heated sufficiently).
A layer of a few centimeters of this soil is spread on the ground (hence without hay, which is removed before), and spread without incorporating it, without scratching the earth with the teeth of the rake. So you have to flip the rake and spread with the back.
The groove is formed with a pressed tool handle. Then we sow and cover with a little bit of the same potting soil.
After the emergence, the plant is rooted in the soil under the soil.
Seedlings have a head start on weeds, and can settle. Then the shade of the foliage of the carrots, if the rows are sufficiently tight, prevents the emergence of the weeds.

Well, I tried on a small square. I came back 4 weeks later, and it was very satsfaisant: the carrots had risen well, and almost no weed.

I saw a video from a maraicher on youtube who practices this system

Good evening lachanette I come back on your semi carrot to Soltner, could you tell me how the carrot semi raises if you are not there to keep it moist you come back 4 weeks after?
Thank you

Preparing for the next season:
Sprouted potato tubers for good germination

Seedling of cauliflower, lettuce (2 varieties), parsley, chives and leek installed in a homemade nursery

and for the same artichokes question

I split last year (2017) a foot artichoke that had 2 in 6 feet 19 / 02. They all took over and gave.

Cauliflower and leek so early? Well, it's your choice, it just amazes me.

And so lighting in the nursery? Can you give us details?

In the light ??? Otherwise, it goes in spaghetti! [a little, it doesn't matter, because the stems, if you manage to plant them without breaking them, form roots - it is a solaneum, with the same "mania" as the tomatoes - to form roots as soon as the rod touches the earth]

a / varieties of cauliflower and leeks are sown on diapers in february march

b / for the lighting I put 2 neons connected to a programmer (that I will turn on the exit of the germs of the soil)
