Looks like Korea has a red clay soil from the appearance of the potato crop.
I would think the plastic bags containing the carrots are like a Wall O Water and contributes heat and moisture. Maybe a miniature greenhouse would be another comparison.
I think I will establish a dedicated area for carrot growing in volume or use that Korean plastic bag approach!
Good luck!
