When growing carrots and beets, any gardener hopes that the root vegetables will be as large as possible.

However, you shouldn’t rely solely on luck and favorable weather conditions.

The gardener must do everything possible to ensure that the vegetables turn out large and tasty.

Particular attention should be paid to replenishing the deficiency of nutrients in the soil. In addition, it is necessary to choose a certain method of planting a garden crop.

Important action when sowing

First, the gardener needs to dig several fairly deep holes in the garden bed. The indicator for each of them should be approximately 0.3-0.4 meters.

A mixture of ash and humus, as well as a couple of seeds, should be placed into the resulting depressions. The contents of the hole should be sprinkled with soil.

If you perform the above steps in the garden bed, the chances of forming large root crops will become very high.

However, it should be taken into account that after “hole” planting, the garden crop will need to be watered very often.

However, it is worth it: the harvest will please the gardener with both abundance and quality.
