Yes, you could do it in 12", but 18" is better. The more depth you have for root growth, the better.

 

can i do it in 8inch
??????? asap

 

If you don't care if your carrots are straight or not. Or plant some of the new round carrots that are much shorter. The problem with carrots is that if you do not give them sufficient root room of nice loose soil they will fork. It won't change the flavour, but it sure makes them difficult to scrape if you wish to do that.
