Some people are satisfied with the miniature size of beets, while other gardeners strive for the opposite result.
In most cases, you want to grow a large and sweet vegetable.
Therefore, it is worth paying attention to three simple ways to achieve the desired result, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a landscape designer and agronomist.
What are the main secrets?
Acidity indices
If they are high, then the beet loses any chance of developing correctly. Therefore, in mild cases, wood ash is added.
If the soil is highly acidic, dolomite flour will come to the rescue.
Don't forget about thinning
Beets simply cannot grow large and high-quality if they simply do not have enough free space for proper development.
Therefore, do not forget to thin out the seedlings in a timely manner.
Weeds
It is important to remember that weeds are destructive to any cultivated plant, since they suppress its development and “take away” moisture and nutrients.
Therefore, do not forget about the weeding procedure.
