The soil should be fertilized in advance.

Root crops respond well to organic matter. Rotted compost or humus will do. For each square meter, it is enough to take just a bucket of the product. After this procedure, it is advisable to dig up the soil to the depth of a bayonet shovel.

If you want the soil to warm up by the day of planting, you can cover the area with polyethylene film or white agrofibre a week before.
