If you’ve ever planted carrots you know how challenging they can be to sow. Carrot seeds are teeny-tiny, so they are hard to space out correctly which leads to lots of thinning and using up your seeds faster than you need to. A few years ago Burpee came out with Carrot Tape, which is a great product that makes planting and growing your carrots easier. We wanted to see if we could recreate that with household items to save a little money and get out to the garden faster!
