Today's TAP SHORTS: is taken from FARMVLOG #45, filmed May 2020.
How do we sow carrots using our top favourite market gardening tool, the jang seeder.
Here is a demonstration of how to sow carrots with the jang seeder.
The jang seeder (similar to the Earthway seeder) is a push powered seed sowing machine that accurately sows any seed to your desired spacing and depth. This tool has been so valuable to us as market gardeners, helping reduce sowing times and making life much easier! We look at how the jang works, which seed rollers we use for sowing carrots, how we prep a bed and how we use a rake to mark out the sowing rows to then follow with the jang.
WHAT ARE TAP SHORTS?
TAP SHORTS are extracts from our FARMVLOGS - nuggets of information, be it a market gardening tutorial, tool demo, handy tip or just something we feel needs to be highlighted - reconfigured into a bite size video for you to quickly watch.
About Tap o' Noth Farm:
Hi, we're James and Rosa! Welcome to Tap o' Noth Farm, a quarter acre Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) market garden and 8 acre permaculture designed forest garden farm/homestead in Aberdeenshire, NE Scotland. We practice home scale to small farm scale agroforestry and regenerative agriculture methods to produce organic fruit and vegetables, raise dairy goats for all our raw milk needs, Shetland sheep and geese to graze our silvopasture and coppice systems and laying hens, moved around in a Chickshaw, for an abundance of eggs.
Our videos aren't 'how to's' - more videos to give a glimpse into our lifestyle and hopefully inspire you to bring aspects of what you see into your own life.

If you're looking for even more content from James and Rosa then you can become a patron of Tap Farm. It takes James between 5-10 hrs to edit our vlogs, let alone the time it takes to film and farm at the same time! Your support will aid us greatly in producing our FARMVLOGS, enabling us to take the time needed to craft a beautiful film and to help fund the licences needed for the vlog soundtrack. We will list your name at the end of each vlog episode so everyone knows how brilliant you are! We will also keep you updated on our farm work/life by posting exclusive video content that is not available on KZfaq such as FARMVLOG outtakes, behind the scenes footage, hints & tips and more in depth videos discussing the many permaculture systems to be found on the farm PLUS the odd photo from Rosa and James.
