What experienced gardeners water beets with to make them grow sweet: not everyone knows about these tricks

If you don’t want your beets to grow tasteless, you should carry out special nutritious watering in a timely manner.

With the help of some fertilizers, you can really grow incredibly sugary and tasty beets.

Most often, summer residents remember about fertilizing with salt, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer. This option is effective, but not the only one.

What else can you pour over beets for a pleasant sweet taste?

Boric acid

Many experts consider this method to be the most successful, so it is definitely worth trying. You should take no more than a spoon of boric acid per bucket of water.

The mixture is used for leaf treatment.

By the way, such beets will be stored very well after harvesting.

Potassium permanganate solution

Experienced gardeners know that the product can be safely used 3-4 times during the summer. It is necessary to prepare a weak solution of potassium permanganate (no more than one small spoon of the substance per ten liters).

This product also protects beets from various diseases.
