I am also fond of the occasional carrot.

pickled carrots are pretty good too
I have finally improved my rock pile enough so carrots can get some growth in. I have been thinning from below in the carrot patch.
Only from below? Perhaps a combination thin is worth investigating.
Perhaps a feller muncher is in order or maybe some fellers munching?
I did find a little bit of evidence of carrot trespass going on. More thinning to be done today. Got a block of kale to work on next.
It's kind of a designation by diameter operation. I'm definitely creaming the crop except not creaming. Creamed carrots make me gag.
all creamed vegetables is nasty...
creamed corn is good fer making corn bread though.
Just of of curiosity or you marking each carrot for thinning or are you just relying on the contractor to decide whats best. Does the paint effect flavor if so good or bad? (I kinda actually want to know that one)
Also are the yarding corridors flagged, what about tail holds, or is this a ground based operation and the skid trails are clearly marked... any wet lands what need to be avoided...
and lastly are you desturbing any endangered critters mating season, if so be sure to only operate machinery between the hours of 7am and 8:30am mon through tuesday between july 4th and august 16th.

i gotta ask, what size bar would i need on my 372 if i want to get into thinning carrots and the like, would my 28" be good or should i go with somthing longer for more reach ? do you guys run square or round ground on your carrot thinning ?
372 isn't enough saw, yer gonna need a 3120 or ms880 with at least a 42" bar full comp square grind. And carve off the clutch cover to make chain swapping and fanger cutting easier.
wait no... yer going to have to get yerself one of them ole two man titans or macs, carrot thinning is for sure a 2 feller job
This is not Marbled Murrelet habitat but I do see that the slugs are mating so delay in starting up equipment and shut down early. My thinning prescription is "designated by diameter of carrot". I choose the biggest diameter for a leave carrot and take other carrots within a determined distance from the leave carrot. Doesn't matter if the leave carrot is a forked carrot, if it is the biggest, it stays. That way I get a diverse "stand" of carrots. I cleared out the landing yesterday and will enhance the wetlands today. Since it is a working carrot area, the skid trails were laid out before the carrots were planted.
Maybe I'll go mechanized today.
We prefer Variable Density Thinning hereabouts. Fastest way to fake stand structure.
on thinning of the kale im suggesting a full clearcut and slash and burn replant with taters or radishes

Due to the delicate nature of carrot patch soil a felling crew and whirly bird is the only responsible way to go. No tracks or tires.

It appears this guy stuck the rear handle in the face notch and looked down the bar to aim the tree?
What's with guys using tiny bars on big saws to fell trees? YouTube is full of MS661's with 20" bars felling 40" trees. Yeah with practice it can be done correctly but doesn't a longer bar make things easier?
I'm far from being a professional and I get nervous every time I fall a tree with a bar shorter than the tree diameter.
Must be a European thing. They also like to abuse their saws by throwing them around and hard loading them all the time on YouTube also. I usually move on to the next video if the guy spends most of his time time bogging down and stopping the chain.
