    During the thinning of beets, we do not want to, often disturb the roots of neighboring plants. As a result, they become weaker and may fade. To support beets in this difficult moment it must be fed. For the restoration and growth of root leaves I use ammonium nitrate with the addition of superphosphate at the rate of 30 g of each fertilizer per 10 l of water.
    Remains of the extracted beets pits I do not fall asleep, but ash. She will feed the soil with potassium and calcium and will not allow pests to penetrate to the bare roots of the beet left on the bed.

    Week through 2 I feed beet repeatedly with an increase in the fertilizer dose to 40 g for the same volume of water. This additionally stimulates the development of root vegetables. Mullein and bird droppings in this period, the beet is best not to feed, so as not to stimulate the growth of greenery.

    Last year, beets were sown in several places and at different times. On one bed, all the plants went into the arrow. Why?

      At the table beet the period of the vernalization phase is short. In cold and wet weather, it quickly passes vernalization and blooms, so it is not necessary to hurry with its sowing. Tsvetushnosti also contributes to the presence in the soil of more phosphorus and potassium than nitrogen.

    Large, but fibrous
    I bought seedlings of beets in the market. Roots grown large, but when you cook, they become fibrous. Can such beets be fodder? And yet, tell us, please, about preparing it for winter storage.

      Fibers depend on the variety. Increased it in the roots of the varieties Bagriyanaya, Cameroon. If the shape of the beet is conical, all varieties with this shape have a large ringing or fibrous appearance. A fodder beet is only white, yellow and pink, but not burgundy. Therefore, with full confidence, we can say that you have grown not the stern, but the table beets. Today there are many varieties on sale that do not have fibrousness, for example, Bordeaux, Polish Patrick and Regulus cylinder.
      With regard to storage, it is necessary immediately after digging to bring the roots into the room. With prolonged exposure to the sun, they become lethargic, lose moisture, which subsequently leads to the development of diseases. The ripe beets are kept in the sun no more than 1-2 hours, then

    My beet grows poorly in my area: by the fall only tails grow, but root crops are not formed. What to do?

      The reason is probably in the high acidity of the soil. If the soil is acidic, the beet leaves become intensely violet. The leaf blade does not develop well, with the root crop forming small or not forming at all. Will have to lime the soil. Lime is advisable to make in the winter in the snow under the predecessor of beets. To provide emergency assistance to plants, it is necessary to dilute the chalk powder (100 g / 10 L of water) and such lime milk
      feed beets from the watering can. After fertilizing, plants are watered from the watering can with a strainer of clean water to avoid burns. The results of fertilizing will be visible after a few days.
