Why experienced gardeners bury beet tops under tomatoes: not everyone knows about this
Many people know that beets are one of the most useful vegetables in the garden.
That's why almost everyone grows it.
The vegetable is a valuable addition to the diet, so we often use it for culinary purposes. Thanks to the product, we can enjoy rich red borscht, delicious vinaigrette and classic herring under a fur coat.
But it is not only the fruit itself that is useful. Beet tops are also rich in nutrients, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer. However, not everyone knows why beets should be buried right under tomatoes.
What can such an interesting practice give?
The most valuable substance in beet tops is boron. Tomatoes may experience a deficiency of it, although boron is necessary for full development.
If you periodically bury beet tops under tomatoes, the vegetables will produce a very good harvest.
Most often, you can "get" the tops during the thinning procedure. It is recommended to chop them up and dig them into the soil.
