I had ordered some Dragon Carrot seed from Trade Wind Fruits because I realy like the way they look. Purple on the outside, orange on the inside...I mean, how cool is that? But what to grow them in? Yesterday, I aquired, with much thanks to the shipping/receiving guy at an unnamed store, a crate that measures 38"x"72"14". This gives me right at 22 cubic feet of space and I believe it should be deep enough for carrots. I plan to raise it up off the ground with some bricks and line it with weed control fabric.

But what should I fill this vast chasm with that would be good for carrots and easy on the wallet?

Any help would be appreciated.
