How to please the beet — advice from experienced gardeners Bashny.Net

Beets in the garden and planting a private garden, and potatoes (the only aisle in this case needs to be roomy), and edge sites on which to grow other crops, but do not forget: this root vegetable as a child, the sun, air and water – best friends.

Pour the beets usually in the first half of the summer once a week at the rate of 10 liters of water per square meter of the garden – the roots and irrigation. Beet equally well both. But since mid-July, when it begins to grow a root crop and the heat is serious, water falls at the same rate of water twice a week.

And be sure to loosen after watering the soil: root vegetables grown in badly loosened, and dry soil, become bitter taste. Suggest from time to time, deep enough to pierce with a fork the ground between the rows to make beets easier to breathe.





A couple of times (a month and two weeks before harvest beets) in a bucket of water for watering add a spoonful of salt. It is believed that this gives the beets a sweet taste.

A few weeks before harvesting stop watering, allowing the roots to prepare for storage.

In addition, beet loves Zola: several times during the vegetation period of a plant is useful to feed this valuable fertilizer at the rate of one to three cups per square metre (depending on soil acidity). Perhaps the leaves will then become natural and not Burgundy-unhealthy color.



But if beet leaves excessively brighten, help out potassium nitrate: three tablespoons per 10 liters of water for irrigation.

Responsive this culture and feeding a solution of mullein. But they try to spend the first half of the summer, as contained in the manure nitrogen contributes to the increase of green mass that can adversely affect the formation and the keeping quality of root crops.





If the roots protrude from the earth, and not to remove too early, they should still once or twice to podatocite.

Clean beets until frost. Stored in the basement, on top of potatoes. Somewhere in October-November the roots are somewhat changing their original taste – accumulate dry matter. But overall this product is good until the spring.published
