Home-grown beets may not always please you with their taste, but you want them to grow as sweet as possible.

As it turns out, ordinary salt can provide significant assistance in this matter.

Not everyone knows that this unexpected ingredient can be used as a special fertilizer for beets, said Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, a landscape designer and agronomist.

How to properly feed beets with salt?

You will need to buy regular salt (not iodized). Next, fill a bucket of water and let it warm up and settle. Then add just one small spoon of salt to this large volume of water.

After that, you can safely begin applying fertilizer.

How to use the prepared product

The first time beets will need salt feeding is relatively early: the plant should have six leaves.

The second time we water with a salt solution at the moment when the beets begin to “peek out” a little from the soil.

The final feeding is carried out 14 days before the expected harvest date.
