Would you like to try growing beets in your garden, but are you afraid your efforts will be in vain? Are you worried that the beet will be woody, or that it will have a small bulb, or perhaps that it won’t be good and sweet? If you find a suitable location for the beet, give it the necessary care and regularly provide it with fertilizer made from boric acid, you can put all your worries to rest. It is boric acid that will ensure a good, firm, crisp and sweet bulb.
Growing beets
Growing beets may seem simple, but that’s not entirely the case. Beet is a crop that requires certain conditions to be met; if you can meet them, you can look forward to tasty produce. Keep in mind that beet is a plant that needs a fairly large amount of space around it. You cannot sow seeds too close together, otherwise the beet wouldn’t have the opportunity to grow sufficiently. The ideal distance between individual plants should be 15-20 centimeters.
Another requirement for beets is sufficient and regular watering. It is the adequate amount of watering that is responsible for sufficiently large produce. Therefore, you should give the beet enough water and water it daily; never let it dry out. The soil should always be at least slightly moist. You must not drown the plants in water, but it is very important that they have enough. Only then will the beet reach the proper size.
Fertilizing
To make the beet the way you imagine it, provide it with soil rich in boric acid. It is precisely because of this substance that the beet will not only be large, but also tender, crisp, sweet and tasty. So if you want to fertilize the beet and give it boric acid, dissolve 10 grams of boric acid in a watering can of water, which you then use to water the soil regularly. Then give the beet a break from boric acid for a while, but also keep in mind that it needs to be replenished regularly.
