Secrets of gardening: planting beets
Beet planting is carried out from the beginning of May to June. But you must carefully prepare the seeds beforehand. If this is not done, then the germination will be low. So, two to three days before sowing, the seeds are soaked in warm water, it is best to fold them in a rag bag first. During the day they are removed and dried. Seeds should crumble in their hands and not stick together.
It is very important to know that planting beets does not require special fertility of soils. An excellent crop can be obtained practically on any soil. However, it should be borne in mind that beets prefer loose soil with a high concentration of minerals. Not the most successful choice will be sandy, podzolic, clay soils, especially with a high content of moisture in them. If the ground is wet and groundwater is close to the surface, you can make ridges or high beds. Excellent results will result in the planting of beet on loam, sandy loam, chernozem, and of course on peat bogs, after their liming. This culture grows well in those places where before this the onions, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, potatoes and beans grew. Beets are not planted in beds where cabbage was planted before, the yield will be low.
Before sowing the soil is once again leveled with rakes and makes even furrows deep to 2-3 centimeters. Between the rows the distance should be at least 25 centimeters, with high germination, the planting of beet seeds is allowed and with intervals of 10 centimeters. If there is no complete confidence in the quality of the seeds, then it is better to plant them thicker, and after the emergence of the shoots just to thin.
