No summer resident wants to harvest small and tasteless beets.
It would be a shame: the effort invested in growing root crops will not pay off at all.
However, there is a simple super-remedy, the use of which significantly increases the likelihood of obtaining an abundant harvest of high quality.
Beets will grow large and sweet thanks to... salt.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told about an unusual, but really working dacha life hack.
What to water beets with
The garden crop should be watered with salt water.
Oddly enough, it is this liquid that will help make brown root vegetables not only large, but also sweet.
The fact is that this procedure helps to increase the sugar content of the vegetable.
The water used for watering beets should not be too salty. One teaspoon of sodium chloride per bucket of liquid will be quite enough.
What else to feed beets with
The garden crop will "react" well to cow manure and unburned wood residues.
Based on these two agents, you need to prepare an infusion, which you then use to water the beetroot bed.
The liquid consumption should be as follows: 3 glasses per square meter.
Earlier, summer residents were told why they should put potato peelings under currants.
