Among cooks, juicy and sugary beets are especially prized, as the dishes turn out incredibly tasty and beautiful.
However, in order for the root crop to grow to a high quality, you need to try.
What experienced gardeners feed beets with
Salt
This is a well-known fertilizer that helps the root crop become sweet. It is usually carried out only once, reminds landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
You will need to prepare a weak salt solution: take one spoon of the product per bucket of water. The product is used for watering.
Boric acid
This method is used to treat the above-ground part of beets. You only need to dilute 4 grams of boric acid in 10 liters of water.
Thanks to this, the root crop grows juicy and tasty. By the way, this fertilizer helps beets to be stored well.
Fertilizing in acidic soil
If the soil on your site is prone to increased acidity, then it is worth fertilizing it once, which will help eliminate this deficiency.
To do this, you need to dilute a glass of lime in 12 liters of water and water it. Be careful during the procedure, as the composition should not get on the leaves.
Fertilizing is carried out at the beginning of the season, when the root crop has already formed several true leaves (at least four).
