Beetroot is one of the most unpretentious garden crops.

The gardener will get a harvest even if the minimum requirements for plant care are met.

However, any owner of a country plot wants to collect as many root crops as possible. Moreover, many gardeners count on the bright taste of vegetables.

If you know about four little gardening tricks, then the beet harvest will be not only abundant, but also high-quality.

Correct fit

The secret to maximum yield of root crops is the correct formation of beds.

The width of the latter should be a maximum of three rows.

In addition, there should be a distance of at least 15 centimeters between plants.

Suitable method of watering

Beets respond best to a method of irrigation such as sprinkling.

This method involves spraying water on the soil and on the garden crop.

Soil cultivation

It is impossible to achieve full growth and development of beets without proper soil treatment.

Thus, the soil in which the plant is located needs regular loosening. Then there will be no problems with air exchange and moisture absorption.

However, when cultivating the soil, you need to be careful not to damage the garden crop itself.

Timely application of fertilizers

Experienced gardeners recommend adding mineral fertilizers after the owner of a country plot has thinned out the beets for the second time.

Following this recommendation increases the chances of a rich and early harvest.
