Your problem is that you used too much parsley, and not enough carrots. So you either had to add more carrots, or take away some parsley (parsley is strong stuff). When you juice parsley, don't put it right into the feeder by itself. First you put in 2 carrot pieces vertically to form a flat surface on the top, you take a few parsley sprigs and fold them a few times into a small bunch, put them over the carrots, then put 2 apple or carrot pieces on top of them, and then press it down the feeder.
