You might be right there. I have tried to grow carrots for years and failed miserably because the soil wasn't suitable. I now have better soil and I'm growing the variety "Paris Market" which are the small round carrots. Much easier and delicious! Lovely pic!

My Side Micro-Garden soil isn't very good. It doesn't go very deep until there are a bunch of stones put there by a previous owner. I hope to build it up with better soil. I need to find good soil that isn't $4 per cubic yard and I don't have to buy a dump truck sized load. LOL
Yes, you are totally right, of course! Meanwhile, maybe you could just plant smaller plants and mulch them well with leaves, cardboard, whatever. And slowly build up the soil this way. Hope this helps!
I've seen the cardboard method. I'm not sure I have the patience to wait for that to work. I'll drive up to the mid-west and haul down the dirt myself. LOL
