Well - I grew them about a foot away from my toms last year (and, again, amongst parsley because they help each other). So the fert the toms got is what the carrots got. I think last year I used a water solubale granual that said it was for tomatoes. The carrots and parsley grew very well. Thin them out every now and then when they start growing if you want to let them get big. They (both parsley and carrots) will also flower if you let them grow long enough and attract beneficials to the garden.
p.s. don't grow dill anywhere near the carrots - they don't like each other. I did have some dill and carrots in the same container last year but that was an experiment. The carrots did grow but not great. The carrots on the south side of my house that I grew amongst parsley and a foot away from to the toms did extremely well.
