I had no idea you could transplant carrots! I guess I have done it (I hate thinning so I try and transplant the ones I pluck) but I have never thought of planting them so deep. I'll have to try it.

I have had monster carrots with my normal method though, which is like 1/2" trench.

    NGL they probably wont like it. Main thing I'm suggesting is make sure they have enough depth to begin with cuz if that initial tap root hits a wall it's gonna stunt it in the long run.

    I transplant seedlings by filling around an empty seed pod and then putting the seedling into the fitted hole. I find that is the gentlest way to transplant.

    They'd probably not do well getting transplanted from a snail roll. I went a bit off topic there.
