Not every gardener will risk using salt on their plot, since it is believed that the product can have a negative impact on plant development and reduce soil quality.
But when used correctly, salt can be a very useful tool, especially when it comes to beets.
Why water the crop with salt water
Many will be surprised by the fact that salt water is primarily used to improve the taste of the vegetable. It is believed that after such a procedure, beets begin to accumulate sweetness more actively.
However, the important point is not to overdo it with the amount of salt. Otherwise, the crop will start to feel significantly worse, warns agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
How to properly water with salt water
First, take one spoon of salt and dilute it in water. Then pour the concentrate into 10 liters of water. To make the product even more effective, you can add from 200 ml to 1 liter of sifted ash.
We water the beets. We process not only the soil, but also the leaves themselves. The procedure is done only in the evening. Regular watering is done after a few days.
