Apte Marchew Dolanka 6 m tape with Platnacote fertilizer — late variety

Apte Marchew Dolanka 6 m tape with Platnacote fertilizer — late variety is a pre-seeded row tape designed for planting the Dolanka carrot variety. The 6-metre length contains evenly spaced seeds already embedded in the tape and coated with Platnacote fertilizer to provide nutrients during early growth. This product is intended to simplify sowing and ensure consistent plant spacing for late-maturing carrots in vegetable beds, raised beds or small-scale production plots.

Advantages

The tape provides precise seed spacing and uniform depth, reducing thinning and labor. Pre-coating with Platnacote fertilizer delivers a measured nutrient supply at germination and early seedling stages, minimising the need to handle loose fertiliser during sowing. Using a seeded tape helps achieve even germination and tidy rows, which improves management, irrigation efficiency and subsequent mechanical or manual care.

Suitable for

• Home vegetable gardens and raised beds
• Small-scale market gardening and allotments
• Planting late-maturing carrot rows where uniform spacing is required
• Gardeners seeking reduced handling of granular fertiliser at sowing

Key specifications

• Product format: pre-seeded row tape
• Length: 6 metres
• Seed spacing: evenly spaced for carrots (Dolanka variety)
• Fertiliser: Platnacote coating on seeds for early nutrient supply
• Crop type: late-maturing carrot variety
• Intended use: manual or mechanical placement in garden rows

How to use

Prepare a fine, weed-free seedbed and mark the intended row lines. Lay the 6 m tape along the row at the recommended sowing depth for carrot seeds, then cover with soil according to local sowing depth guidelines and firm gently to ensure good soil contact. Water the row immediately and maintain consistent moisture until seedlings are established. Follow usual thinning and cultivation practices for late-maturing carrots once seedlings are robust enough.

Usage recommendations

Use on well-prepared, well-drained soil and ensure regular but moderate watering to support uniform germination. Avoid placing tape in excessively wet or compacted ground. Replace irrigation and nutrient practices according to observed soil fertility and crop development; additional fertiliser may be applied later if soil tests indicate deficiency.
