Many people want beets to grow not only bright red and sweet, but also large.

But vegetables are not always able to please us with their parameters.

In order for the beetroot to be of ideal size, the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises to adhere to some important rules.

What do they consist of?

The most important point is the acidity level.

This must be done before the planting activities begin.
