How to get a rich harvest of juicy and tasty beets: the main secrets - note for summer residents
Growing large and sweet beets is not that difficult. In this article we will tell you the secrets of growing vegetables.
How to achieve a good beet harvest
Large beets grow well only with optimal moisture on loose soils with high fertility.
In addition, the root crop prefers partial shade and a couple of hours of bright sun for a rich harvest.
Plant beets only after the last frost of winter has passed.
Thus, you will receive a harvest in late spring or early summer.
Also, beets can be planted a second time in the warm fall.
Destroy the soil crust of weed seedlings - this should be done before germination by blind zone loosening.
Also remember that beets do not like acidic soils.
To deoxidize, you can use dolomite flour, crushed egg shells, chalk or lime.
After the deoxidation procedure, check the level of lime in the soil; an excess is also harmful to the root crop.
