Beetroot is a tasty and nutritious vegetable that can be easily grown in your garden.
If you want to harvest large, juicy and aromatic beets every year, follow these simple recommendations and tips for plant care.
Soil and fertilizers
Beets grow best in soil rich in organic matter.
You can fertilize the soil with a balanced fertilizer containing potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen, compost to provide the beets with nutrition for even greater growth and development.
Planting and beds
Make it a rule to plant beets in the spring when the soil warms up.
Remember to thin out the seedlings to give each plant enough room to grow. This will ensure that you grow large root vegetables.
Watering and mulching
Beets need water, so it is important to provide the plant with constant moisture.
A layer of mulch around the plants will help retain moisture in the soil for a long time and prevent weeds from growing.
Tips for growing big and tasty beets
Use peat and manure composts prepared in spring and summer to ensure that your beets are always sweet.
One of the best ways to feed with micronutrients is foliar feeding with boron.
Calculate the dose of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizers for sugar beets for nitrogen and phosphorus.
Do not let beets grow too big and harvest the root crops on time. Overgrown beets can become tough and stringy.
By following these tips for growing beets, you will always have a large harvest of delicious root vegetables.
