Not an expert on this, just started doing it because my garden soil is too heavy to produce good carrots. I use a 12 gal. pot. I fill the bottom third with a 50/50 mix of used/new potting mix and then fill the rest of the pot with new. (This uses a LOT of soil, thus the used mix @ bottom). I use pelleted seed and place the seed at about 1" spacing in concentric rings on top of the soil until the surface is done. I then cover the seed lightly with more soil & water it.
