Oct. 10 (UPI) -- A gardener in Minnesota set a massive record by growing the world's largest carrot in his second attempt.

Christopher Qualley earned a spot in the Guinness World Record Book with a massive 22.44-pound carrot grown at his farm in Otsego.

Qualley intentionally set out to grow the world's largest carrot and credited and said "soil, seed, weather and a little luck" were the keys to his success.

"I am relatively new to this hobby and my strategy was to imitate what all of the experienced growers across the world were doing," he said. "The number one thing that every single top grower says is that your soil is the most important thing, so that is what I focused on. Without the proper soil your giants will never reach their potential."
