Better Carrots From No-Dig

Out of all batches of carrots we grew in the different gardens last year, the carrots that we pulled out of the No-Dig or No-Till Gardens were probably the best, with lots of well shaped roots without any pest issues. At first glance it would be easy to assume that No-Dig methods can produce better carrots, but it seems that it is more complicated than that.
