carrots

I have an old enamel bath on my allotment I was going to try and grow carrots in it, one to use it as a raised bed and secondly to try and avoid carrot fly. I haven't grown carrots before - will this be a good idea or not and if so what would be the best mix for compost and soil.

 

yes it will work but make sure that the plug is out so you have drainage

 

I have a bath that I use for my strawberry bed, I drilled holes into it every few inches along its length for drainage and so far it is fine. If you are buying soil for it, you will need a fair amount.
