How to store carrots for winter?

Tips for storing winter carrots. Open storage is a simple and easy storage method, which is suitable for winter storage in warmer areas. In cold areas, a large number of carrots are usually stored temporarily only in autumn and winter. It can also be used in areas where the temperature is -8 ~ 3℃ in winter. Specific practice: After harvesting carrots, twist off the leaves, select carrots without pests, branches and cracks, and pile them into a round pile on the spot. The diameter of the pile is generally 1 ~ 1.3m, and the height of the pile is about1m. Don't pile it too high, so as not to generate a lot of heat in the pile, which will lead to carrot rot. After the pile is completed, cover the pile with wet fine soil with the thickness of 10 ~ 15cm and tamp it to prevent water loss due to wind. As the weather turns cold, when the local night temperature drops below -3℃, cover the soil for the second time, thicken the soil to 20 ~ 25 cm, and spread a layer of hay to keep warm and moist, so that carrots will not be frozen. This stored carrot can be put on the market around the Spring Festival. 2. On-site storage is suitable for areas in southern China where the coldest winter temperature is above 0℃. The carrots planted will be stored if they are not harvested in winter, and will be harvested in the Spring Festival. But we must catch up with the harvest at the latest, otherwise it will sprout, grow new leaves, consume nutrients, make its quality worse or bolting lose its commercial value. However, there are also areas where the coldest temperature in winter is -3℃, and the agricultural film covered with 3 ~ 5cm thick soil is stored in situ for wintering, and harvested when the price is high. Plastic film mulching and soil mulching should be carried out before freezing. Plastic film should be pressed tightly to prevent it from being blown off by the wind, cover enough soil layer, pay attention to keep warm and overwinter safely.
