A Clever Way to Plant Beets: Collect Large and Sweet Vegetables

10.05.2023 16:22

Beets are planted with seeds, but the seedling method has not been cancelled in this case. In the latter case, the harvest can be collected earlier.

But there are several important points that determine these two different options for growing root crops. The harvest depends on them 100%.

First, the landing site

Beets do not like sunny areas very much, and therefore those who plant the root crop in a shady area have a better chance of collecting a rich harvest of large and sweet vegetables.

Secondly, the neighbors

Beetroot does not need a specially prepared bed. It is a fairly friendly vegetable that will feel good next to others. But it is best to place it in the same bed with cabbage, gardeners say.

Thirdly, fertilizers

Here, too, you don’t have to overdo it. It will be enough to add sodium humate to the soil before planting. Another useful option involves using sodium sulfate.
