How to feed beets: fertilizers for a large and juicy harvest
Beetroot is a popular, healthy and tasty root vegetable from which you can prepare a lot of dishes.
Large and juicy fruits are a real pride and luck for a gardener. To ensure a pleasant harvest, beets are fed throughout the season.
Beetroot is a very demanding crop in terms of growing conditions. It needs well-drained soil rich in nutrients, as well as sufficient sunlight and moisture. Fertilizing beets can significantly affect their growth and yield.
How to feed beets
1. Organic fertilizers: compost, humus or manure. They contain nutrients necessary for beet growth.
2. Mineral fertilizers: potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen. These elements promote the development of the root system, improve the taste of beets and increase their resistance to diseases.
3. Complex fertilizers: they contain all the necessary nutrients in optimal proportions.
It is important to remember that beets need regular fertilizing throughout the growing season. Beets should be fertilized at least 3-4 times per season.
